A huge thank you to Netgalley, Avon Books UK and Harper Collins publishing for letting me read and review!

Synopsis:

Another woman also repots a man missing, it’s the same man, Matt had been living a double life. Amy refuses to believe this but as the police dig deeper, conflicting stories are told by the two women, the two woman who apparent have never met, but that is a lie.

Review:
You shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, but I have to say this one definitely stood out to me. The synopsis also sounded intriguing and hinted that this read may be full of drama and action, therefore I was eager to get stuck in.

From the first page it was evident that the author is a very imaginative writer who does a fantastic job at using descriptive language. Along with her vivid ways of painting a picture in your head, the first chapter also started off with a bang, action from the get go and definitely left me wondering what would unfold.

The jumps from character perspectives was easy to follow and I enjoyed reading from Jess’ perspective. She had me feeling uneasy of Matt from the start but also impressed me with how determined and strong she was. The time jumps confused me at times as I was not sure as to whose background story it was telling, but all did become clear!

Matt was a very manipulative character and I felt glad that he had vanishes from Amy’s life, despite feeling the despair she was in as a result of this. The book highlights the seriousness of domestic violence, especially non physical forms such as gaslighting, so well done to the author.

At first, I felt this would be a read you really can not call, chapter by chapter the plot began to thicken and at times I even found myself questioning if I had seriously misjudged characters such as Amy. However, as the story become to fully unravel and the pieces fitted together, the story did become quite predictable, I was not left hanging on the edge of my seat but I was still gripped never less.

Amy is shocked when a complete stranger stops her on the street to inform her that her life is in danger. That night, her fiancee, Matt disappears. With no sign of Matt, the wedding is canceled, but then a woman named Fiona reports her lover missing. The man matches Matt’s description and Fiona tells police he was about to leave his fiancee to be with her. Amy can’t believe that Matt was betraying her, but she gets evidence in the form of photos of Fiona and Matt together. Clearly, he was living two different lives, but what happened to him? This is a clever, sly mystery that I really enjoyed

With The Vow you get double the amount of story for your book!

Okay, the synopsis. Yes it’s perfect. As soon as I read it I knew this was a book I had to read, if the lovely team at Avon hadn’t approved me for an ARC this was a book I was going to buy.

Luckily we didn’t get to that, ARC approved let’s dive in....

Amy is due to get married in a couple of weeks but then her fiancé doesn’t come home one evening after work. Where has Matt got to? Shockingly another woman reports Matt as missing as well. Who is this other woman? What happened to Matt?

Amy while a little naive is written perfectly. I really felt for her reading The Vow. Her daughter Jess was a great input as well. Really impressed with how this story fooled me with red herrings!

There’s a remarkable little story within a story which I enjoyed. Set in 1996 it’s all connected to the present events, but how?

It sucked me in from its suspenseful starting but it's ending was predictable. Although it's a good read for thriller fans.
Amy is two weeks away from her marriage with Matt. They are a happy couple, at least she could think so but she didn't know that Matt was living two lives at the same time. Matt is not what she thinks he's. A woman told her to stay away from him but she was truly in love with him. And then one day Matt was disappeared.
Without any trace of him,Amy was worried where her love was gone and finally she contacted police.
WPC Page and DI Lacey started the investigation and soon they told her that there is another woman who reported a person missing with me a matching description to that of Matt's.
Stunned, shocked Amy denied to believe it and then started the web of lies.
Amy and Fiona are suspects of the police. They both denied of killing Matt and told them that the other woman is trying to frame them.
Its ending was predictable easily but the author's execution is good. Her characters were suspenseful although the final twist was not able to surprise me. It was not worthy.
Thanks to NetGalley and Avon for giving me an advance copy of this good psychological thriller.

This novel keeps you guessing until the very end. Amy and Matt have 2 weeks until their wedding when Matt goes missing. Matt has been cheating on Amy with Fiona who also reports him missing. This is the story of their relationships and the hunt to find him. There is good procedural information by the inspectors so the novel would appeal to mystery fans, as well as thriller fans because the antagonist is not readily discovered. The two women has similar backgrounds which add to the plot. The book has twists and turns as well as psychological aspects. I enjoyed the novel. It kept my interest right along.

I received a copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley.

Amy is two weeks away from her wedding when her fiancé Matt disappears. She reports him missing, but then so does a second woman, Fiona, who claims Matt was leaving Amy for her. This is told from the perspectives of Amy, Fiona, Jess (Amy's daughter), and an unknown narrator from 1996. It is hard to write about this book and avoid spoilers. The narrative was repetitious in places, and I felt it unlikely that the police would be quite so swayed by the meaning of the various herbs and plants as to consider that evidence in any way.

I quite enjoyed it, although I worked out what was going on fairly early on.
