Thank You @Netgalley and @bookouture for my copy!
Saffy receives three text messages from her best friend, Leona.
Can’t speak…Don’t text or call…Pls just come.
As quickly as they are received, the messages disappear. They’ve been deleted. Saffy is reeling, but she knows something is wrong. She races over to Leona's house and when Leona answers the door everything seems fine. Leone has no idea what Saffy is talking about and invites her for a drink. Saffy can tell something is wrong, but leaves to go pick up her son, Fox, and promises to see Leona soon. Six hours later, Leona, her husband, Ash, and her daughter, Rosie, are missing and Saffy is the last person to see them alive.
I raced through this book in 2 days. I just needed to know what happened. The tension is palpable, and you can tell how scared Saffy is for her best friend. Saffy is desperate and will do anything she can to find them, which includes taking the police investigation into her own hands.
Slater creates an atmosphere of uncertainty and suspense with multiple POVs and jumping into the past to add to the unease. Both Saffy and Poppy were unreliable narrators, so I truly had no idea how things were going to end and if Leona and Rosie would ever be found. To say the ending was twisted is an understatement!
Message Deleted is an exciting and gripping read you won’t be able to put down.

☆ARC REVIEW☆
Publication date: Available now!
Wow! I have read a few of K.L. Slater's books, and this is by far her best work yet. There was not one moment that I was bored. Due to the amount of thrillers I read, I am fairly good at figuring out the twists. However, there was so much going on and I did not guess one thing right. And just when I thought that was the only twist, another one came along. Highly recommend!!
Thank you NetGalley, K.L. Slater and Bookouture for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed the way the story unraveled and all the plot twist that were thrown in even though some are easy to predict. The way the story is told is in the perspective of Poppy and Saffy and it smoothly alternates between the past and present.
The way law enforcement handled the situation was unrealistic. I didn’t like any of the characters which in turn made it difficult for me to enjoy the story as much as I would have liked.
Thank you so much to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
