Blink by K.L. Slater
4.0
Blink by K.L. Slater is a psychological thriller that takes you on a roller coaster ride filled with unseen twists and turns. It grabs you from the first page and doesn’t spit you out until the end. It gradually unfolds filled with characters that seem creepy. All who could be the one.
Toni’s 5-year-old daughter, Evie, is having a difficult time adjusting to the sudden death of her father. Toni has moved to be closer to her mother for what little support she can offer and is trying to start over as a single mother. However, Eve soon disappears from school and for 3 years the search for her is unsuccessful. With no witnesses, and no trace of Evie, the police have never found her. Now, “locked in” following a severe stroke, she knows who has taken Eve, but unable to move or speak, how can she tell?
Exploring what it would be like to be “locked in” following a stroke adds to the horror of the situation. Knowing the answers and unable to speak or communicate in any way, can she find Eve in time, or will they unplug the machines keeping her alive.
At times, this book seemed to repeat itself but keep reading. The feelings of helplessness and desperation continue to build and when things finally unwind, the reader is in for a shock that they didn’t see coming. It was a great book to read.
I received a ARC of this book from NetGalley and Bookouture with no obligation to review it. This is my honest review after reading,
