REVIEW: UNMISSING BY MINKA KENT
RATING: 3/5
SYNOPSIS: Merritt Coletto and her husband, Luca, have the life they dreamed of: a coastal home, a promising future, and a growing family. That dream ends with a late-night knock on the door.
Weak, broken, and emaciated, it’s Luca’s first wife, Lydia. Missing for ten years, presumed dead, and very much alive, she has quite a story. Her kidnapping. A torturous confinement that should’ve ended with her dead. And finally, escape. Racked with guilt over the beautiful life they’ve built, Merritt and Luca agree to help get Lydia back on her feet—it’s the least they can do.
But the more enmeshed Lydia becomes in Merritt’s family, the more questions Merritt has. What is it about Lydia that’s especially unnerving? Why hasn’t she gone to the police with her harrowing tale? What does she really want of them? The answers, when they come, are terrifying.
Because Lydia isn’t the only one with secrets.
a quick little popcorn read! very similar to a freida mcfadden kind of book you would pick up. the plot line wasn't incredibly original imo but i did finish this one up relatively quickly & it kept me entertained

This was a gripping read, I love the alternating narrators in the audio book. The ending was surprising at first and then fell a little flat at the end. Would recommend on audio.
3.75 stars.
Ok this book kinda slapped. A face paced thriller with plot twists that just popped tf up with no indication that it was time for a plot twist. Bitches be TRIPPIN in this one. Seek help, seriously.

Wow, this book kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. Imagine being attacked and held captive for 9 years by a monster. You escape after you are left for dead after being shot and you find out that your husband has not only married again, but he has landed himself in the lap of luxury.
Told from the POVS of both wives, this is a train wreck waiting to happen, yet those trains take some ghastly turns before the wreckage even begins!
Fast-paced, exhilarating, thriller lovers delight!

2.5 rounded down. Quick and easy read, kept me hooked waiting for the (predictable) twist. Starts out strong with an interesting premise, then it goes downhill. Execution left me wanting, felt like this was the author’s first attempt at a thriller. And the ending was just… bad.
