The Lost Child by Emily Gunnis
4.0
This is a story that flicks between past and present. The past builds up nicely to what is happening in the present and I was on edge waiting to see how everything was going to come together.
The author deals with some tough subjects to do with mental health and domestic abuse. It made me have huge empathy for Rebecca and her mum at what they had to endure. Rebecca suffering more with the mental abuse of watching her mum being beaten day in and day out.
I love how the author weaves the characters lives together. Her story telling is wonderful, her words and descriptions draw you in, making you not want to go anywhere for a while. The mystery and suspense of what happened in the past, builds up and had me totally captured.
The Lost Child is a compulsive read that didn’t let me go. It was so easy to lose myself into these characters lives, desperate to know what secrets were being kept from me. This is the second novel I have read by the author and have to say I am becoming a huge fan. A compelling and addictive read.
My thanks to Anne Cater and Headline Review for a readers copy of this book. All opinions are my own and not biased in anyway.
