WTF! There are no words to describe how incredibly twisting this novel is. None. K.L. Slater slayed it with this fast paced thriller! This book has been one of my favorite reads yet!
When we first start reading this undeniably breathtaking thriller, we see that it alternates in-between two timelines. The first time is 3 years back and the second timeline is the present day. Toni, widow and mother to Evie, lost her husband during a military assignment. To make life just a little bit more simpler for them, they move closer to Toni’s mom. She stars a part time job at a real-estate agency and has put Evie into a new school. Toni left a good friend back home (Tara) who also lost her husband in the same military assignment and had recently lost her child.
Being in this new town and finally getting this new job, Toni finally believes things are starting to look up for them. Toni even made a new friend at work, Jo. Toni had high hopes for this new town and the minute she believed most of everything was going to be okay the worst scenario could have happened. Toni’s mom slipped and fell down the stairs and Toni was late to pick up Evie from an after school session. When she arrived, Evie was gone. She had been abducted.
Toni had everything working against her the second her daughter was taken. Toni had a recent history since her husbands death of taking pills that help calm her body and almost put her in a slight comatose state. She became very forgetful of small details and spaced out often during conversation. This alerted Evie’s teacher, Miss Watson and she started to become very pushy when it came to Toni and her mother. The police couldn’t identify a suspect three years ago but when a stroke victim who is pronounced in a vegetative state is brought into the hospital everything changes. Because they are undeniably connected to the disappearance of Evie Cotter.
Bookouture has done it again! Another 5 star rating for an amazingly written dark and consuming novel. Even though it took me a few days longer to read than I hoped, I devoured the pages every time I picked up my kindle. If you are a fan of Behind Closed Doors, I highly suggest this novel. K.L. Slater not only had me guessing to the very end but she also made me loathe characters too. I am a preschool teacher and the way Miss Watson handled her profession, the children and parents were so unethical. There was even a point half way through the novel where I had thought one person was not the person who I thought they physically were. Way to go Slater!
Thank you tremendously to Bookouture, NetGalley and K.L. Slater for allowing me to read this novel for my honest review.
