Three little letters..... WOW!!!!
I received this book as an advanced copy for me to review and OH boy will I review!
Lets start with the beginning. Picture this....you're standing in a heavily wooded area. The type of wooded area that makes you feel like you are seeing things. Then a slight gust of wind sweeps by and the leaves hanging on trees don't quite look right. They cascade down instead of hanging from a branch. It hits you.....they are made to look like hair.
After the epilogue you meet Isabel Morales. She is the model of perfection. Perfect hair, perfect skin, perfect teeth. She is a singer, an actress and owns her own companies. Isabel is what every little girl wants to grow up to be. However the older she gets, the more she tries to empower women and show women that we are great, we can do great things, you only need to nudge to do it. Shortly after a stunt pulled on Wall Street, she is pulled into a press conference, and once that's over all Isabel wants is a quiet place to smoke a cigarette and chill out. When she sees who she believes is just another fan, she tries to blow them off, but the next thing she sees is a flash of clothing and a sweet smelling rag over her face. Isabel Morales has disappeared in broad daylight.
Enter Erin Bond, who has her own version of celebrity status, gets a frantic message from Isabel's manager wanting to hire her immediately. After her own kidnapping as a child, Erin grew to be a private investigator and was asked to work hand in hand with the police to find Isabel as soon as possible. Erin never thought that this kidnapping would give her the ride of her life!
This book will be a book I read over and over. Not only does it have 1 amazing and strong character, it has 2. And zero love story. No boring love triangles, no confusing love mess. Just the 2 strong women. One trying to outwit the kidnapper, and one trying to outwit the kidnapper in a different way and find Isabel before something horrid happens.
Its truly fantastic! Give this book a go, you wont be disappointed!
****I wanted to add in that this book is NOT a YA book like most of Bella's books are.****

An interesting twist in f Genre for Bella Forrest
I’ve lost count of the number of books I’ve read from Bella Forrest, all the others have by dystopian or magical. I can honestly say I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every book.
I rated this 4 stars because it was not fast to grab me. That may not be a fair assessment due that this isn’t my typical genre... I was somewhat reminded of Alex Cross during the book, of course with a female twist. If you’re having a Bella Forrest withdraws, waiting for the next Harley Merlin or Child Thief, pick this up to fill the void....

Disappointing
I enjoy Bella Forrest’s Gender Game series and recently started the Girl Who Dared to Think series. I couldn’t click with the Shade of Vampire series and unfortunately this one doesn’t work for me either. I found the mystery almost non-existent and the action sequences awkward. Bella’s strength is her characterisation and dialogue, which worked well here, but I was disappointed that I worked out the mystery so quickly. I won’t be continuing, which is a shame.
