I had no idea Woman Last Seen by Adele Parks would end up with a follow-up, but now I'm actually glad I waited to read it so I could move right into that. The way this one ended left me with a lot of questions, and I really appreciated the fact there is a second book. This was a crazy ride that had twists I wasn't expecting as well as some very disturbing content. I didn't have to wait too long to see how the characters fit together, and while it might not have needed all of the different viewpoints, I enjoyed them all. I especially liked Detective Clements's POV, and I probably would have loved the book more had it just been hers, Leigh's, and Kai's viewpoints.

Laura Aikman narrates the entire audiobook, and I liked the way she handled all of the different characters. While she didn't do anything to differentiate them, the plot is easy enough to follow along with that she didn't really have to anyway. I would gladly take more novels with Detective Clements as the focus and Aikman as the narrator, but I am not sure I will get them and that's ok. I think it is best to go into Woman Last Seen as blindly as possible and just let the story take you away. The only character I truly liked was the detective, but don't let that deter you because this is a thriller that can't be missed!

Thank you to the publishers for my complimentary listening and reader copies of this book. All opinions and thoughts are my own.

I have read four books by Parks now. She is brutal with her characters, and doesn't shy away from the gritty side of life.

She writes in a way in which I have to keep reading.
This one was not my favorite, but it was good.

In suspense, you want to be surprised at the end. In this case I had figured this one out early.

The description of the book led me to believe something entirely different than what the book turned out to be. I liked that aspect. However, there was too much telling and not enough showing. The story progresses through many different characters and their thoughts. If the story had more dialogue between characters, then I would have liked the book much more. The twists were good.

This was a book I have been putting off for a while and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book and some of the twists I did not see coming x

Both of you by Adele Parks
