Every Waking Hour by Joanna Schaffhausen

4.0

Ellery is a survivor. As a teen, she was held captive by a madman and survived. Now a Boston Detective, Ellery aspires to save others as she once was. Reed Markham, an FBI profiler, was the young detective that rescued her. Being a survivor and a rescuer, they developed a closeness that budded into a real relationship.

Together, Reed and Ellery are on the hunt of a kidnapped child named Chloe, hoping to find her before it’s too late. They hurry to find answers to who took the child, as their relationship becomes strained and their lives become more complicated. Ellery struggles to stop thinking of her own kidnapping during this case, but she is also obsessed for another reason – the first child of Chloe’s mom was murdered. Are these two cases related? If so, with the abductor kill again?

Every Waking Hour is the fourth book in Joanna Schaffhausen's Ellery Hathaway series. While reading, I often found myself asking the question “Why am I just now hearing of this series?!” I want to shout it from the rooftops – this is so good! This book can be a standalone, but if the previous books in this series is anything like this one, I would recommend starting at the beginning. It’ll be worth it!

Thank you NETGALLEY, Joanna Schaffhausen, St. Martin's Press and Minotaur Books for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. ❤️️
