3.0
This arc was provided to me for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
3.5 stars
Abi Knight gets the phone call that no parent ever wants to get, her daughter Olivia has been in an accident and is brain dead and pregnant. When Abi discovers bruises on her daughter she realizes this was no accident. When the cops won’t investigate, Abi takes matters into her own hands.
This story was incredibly emotional, the power of a mothers love is so strong. And the author really captures it. One of the best aspects of this book was the alternating POV’s. We get both past and present (Olivia and Abi) into what happened and what lead to that moment on the bridge. It really pulled the entire storyline together and made it much more captivating.
There is something about thrillers that makes me sit down and devour them. They always capture my interest right away. The Night Oliva Fell was no different, I was hooked from the very first page. But some of the storylines, I didn’t like as much. Often enough some plots gave me soap opera vibes which can be a bit annoying. It made some of the story more predictable. But overall it wasn’t a bad book.
Christina McDonald knows how to keep you pull you into a story. Those first chapters were amazing and honestly, I look forward to reading more from her. This book may have not been my cup of tea but I did enjoy most of it. If you love a good emotional thriller than I definitely recommend you gives this one a go.
