Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy of The Forgotten Child!

I was so incredibly intrigued with the plot of this story, I had to read it as soon as I got approved for it! Holly gets into a car accident and after a brief moment of unconsciousness gets out to make sure her son, Milo, is ok but when she looks in the back seat there are now 2 boys sitting in the back, unconscious from the crash.... ahhh what?? Exactly why I was so intrigued!! What comes next are so many secrets between families, best friends, spouses and exes. This was a very fast read but I must warn you, after a while you will feel like you’re reading a script from The Soprano’s. There were a bit too many characters for me and I found myself confusing them all and how they were related, but other than this one minor minor complaint, overall a good book! I definitely didn’t predict the ending at all!

Holly Kendal is trying to put her painful past and broken marriage behind her and focus on her beloved son, Milo. But while driving him home on a dark February night, Holly loses control on the rain-slicked tarmac, and her car spirals off the road.

When Holly regains consciousness, everything is silent and in the dark, she can’t see Milo. Desperately, she claws her way out of the car and forces the back door open.

To her relief, Milo is where she left him, injured but breathing – but then she sees something that makes her heart stop.

Milo isn't the only child in the car. Next to him is another little boy, unharmed but unconscious.

And Holly has absolutely no idea who he is.

There was far too many, and I had to jump back to see what I missed. I wish it lived up to what it could have been.

Good book! Lots of characters and different angles here that come together in some really shocking twists!

Great book will be reading other books by this author.
Will also recommend this book to others.
Great read! 5*****

I so enjoyed this book I love this authors work and she has gone gangster and done it so good. Holly has tried to leave her past behind . she has split from her husband. she is trying to bring her Milo her son up she is driving home one night when someone drives her off the road when she wakes up there is another child in the car . and now she has to go back to her past and find answers . lies trust deceit in this book but a must read . this book is brilliant grips you from the 1st page

Another great read, once I started reading I could not put it down until I finished. I was in a state of shock throughout. I would definitely read more by this author.

The Forgotten Child is a very eerie book
Holly Kendall is involved in a car crash and everything goes blank on her
But, instead of just seeing her son sitting in the back seat, she sees another child there
Holly has no idea of who the other child is, and neither does the reader
This book is like a roller coaster, and will have you hanging on until the last page
Loved this book

Overall: 2.5/5 Stars
Characters: 3/5 Stars
Believability: 3/5 Stars
Blurb: 2/5 Stars
Personal Opinion: 2/5 Stars

When I read the blurb for this book, I was really intrigued and excited to read it. I loved this really unique situation that left me questioning how it could play out. There were so many directions this could go.

The way this started, made me think that it was going to be this really intense read, but it didn't take long at all before I realized this book's focus wasn't about what you get in the blurb at all and I quickly became disappointed. The piece of the story that makes the blurb so intense and intriguing is only a very small thread through a very different story. This isn't to say that the book itself wasn't well written or interesting, because it was. It just wasn't what I was expecting at all and ended up not being to my tastes.

There is a heavy thread through this that deals with criminal activities, organizations and the families that make those up. Those aspects were treated in such a blasé way, I wasn't a fan. When combined with the difference in my expectations of what this was about, it made it difficult for me to enjoy the story.

*I received a copy of this book from NetGalley. Opinions stated are honest and my own.

With its laconic, seductive blurb, I threw caution to the wind and delved into 'The Forgotten Child'. Unexpectedly, what I had found was that I dove into a world of organized crime, drugs, kidnappings, and murder. This is probably my least favorite genre and although I read through the first dozen chapters, I just could not muster enough enthusiasm to finish the story. Sorry.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and D. E. White for an ARC of 'The Forgotten Child' in exchange for an honest and voluntary review.

This book had an interesting blurb, but I was disappointed.

The dialogue is often clunky and there were so many warring characters that it was almost impossible to remember who was related to who. A family tree would have been useful!

I forced myself to finish this book to see how it ended but it was a bit of a chore as I didn’t really care for any of the characters, except for Milo.

A good idea, poorly executed.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for my copy of this book.

Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for the advance ecopy. Holly is a single mom who is trying to piece her life together and make it better for her son Milo, when she loses control of her car and when she comes to her only worry is her son but there's one issue, there's another little boy in the back seat with him. Holly doesn't know where he came from. You will not want to put this one down! A real page turner, full of suspense!

The story was good but hard to follow because the writer assumed the reader knew who all the characters were. It would have been helpful to have a chart of the families mentioned so that I would be able to follow the story better.

Absolutely fantastic enjoyed it from the start it’s like a gangland thriller deffinitly up there with Jessie Keane loves all the characters especially holly and dev and all the goings on on the seaview estate I would love this to be a series and would love to get to know more about the characters in their younger days and the family dynamics of each group mentioned

A thrilling and heartfelt story; draws you in very quickly and doesn't let go. Excellent character development. Highly recommended!

I enjoyed reading this book. It had a good story to it. I liked the variety of characters in it. I found the author had a good style of writing. I hope to read more books by this author.

I loved The Forgotten Child. I found it fast paced, exciting shocking and dark which is a lot of feelings for one book!
The only downside is the plot isn’t believable at all. I hated Holly talking about her family and upbringing. People do not live like that.
Overall I could get past that and I’m glad I did. Definitely one to read!
4/5
