I generally will not read books about children. I can't handle children abductions,death, etc. I made an exception for this book and I am SO glad I did!! It was wonderful and I truly loved it. It was one of those read as fast as you can, so you can hurry up and find out the ending, kind of books. I was also so happy that there were no gory, upsetting details of what happened to the girls. The ending was a little odd to me and I would've preferred a more concrete, solid end but I still was thrilled with the overall read. I hope that there will be more books to come about Alice. Thank you so much to the author and Netgalley for the ARC!!

Couldn't put this book down & what a great ending. A great snow or beach day book!

The going is tough but Vega will not back down and refuses to quit until the girls are found. There are more than a few surprises in this twisted thriller that is sure to please fans of the genre

Meet Alice Vega, one of the very few female bounty hunters known. Vega is well-known for her ability to find lost/kidnapped children.

Two young girls, sisters, disappear from a parking lot at the mall. Their mother hires Vega as the local police don't seem to be doing much of anything. When the police tell Vega to go away, they don't need her help, she enlists the aid of former cop Max Caplan.

With very little to go on, Alice and Cap start at the beginning, looking at all the suspects, everyone the girls have been in contact with. There are secrets and lies, bigger lies, evasions, drug dealers, and murder. Time is running out and Alice and Cap are getting desperate.

This is a new author to me... and one I'm sure I will see more of. She has breathed life into the characters of Alice and Cap. Their back stories are terrific. The story premise is exciting..full of action. I found myself trying to guess who took the girls ... I failed. It was a surprise ending.
