An excellent read full of suspense and heart stopping moments. The genre is fairly common, young girls being abducted, one by one, by a perpetrator with a backstory and an aim he thinks is perfectly reasonable and logical. The details, however, have a real feeling of originality and there are plenty of quirks to the storyline which really held my attention, coupled with a lot of tension.
Two of the fathers of kidnapped girls join forces to investigate themselves and as an unlikely mix of backgrounds and characters they add a lot of interest and emotional weighting to the story. The different and very strong characters of the girls who join forces in such a time of adversity were also brilliantly written.
I loved the pace of the story and some of the details were very clever (no spoilers so won’t elaborate) The writing style was also very engaging and easy to follow. I definitely recommend.

Sounded much better than it was. I ended up skimming it until they found the girls. Didn't even finish it or read the middle. Writing was fine-just wasn't into it.

This is better than I thought it would be. It was well-written, primarily a tale of an unlikely bond formed between grieving fathers. There was a noticeable lack of gratuitous details, for which I was thankful. Nothing earth-shaking here, but a solid offering.

I received a complimentary copy of the novel from the publisher and NetGalley, and my review is being given freely.

At first I was like omg this book is so sad I just can't do sad books! But then it got very interesting! And oh my heart! it about beat out of my chest! The suspense!! Jeez my heart still pounding! Great book! It had everything! High suspense, intrigue, action packed, kidnapping, grooming, gas lighting, great detective work by the fathers! Great ending! And a few twists and turns! Never give up! The storyline was very interesting and kept me glued to my Kindle! I highly recommend reading this book as it was well worth reading! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

This was the first book I read from this author and it was a perfect read!! A Lot of times I can guess what's going to happen, but this book was totally unpredictable. We love that these fathers had for their girls was amazing they never gave up. Such a touching story. If you get the chance to read this book you will not be disappointed.

I typically avoid books where children are endangered or abused, but the description of this book, with the two dads banding together to find their missing daughters, sounded worth reading. Still, I was very ready to pitch this one if it got too disturbing. There were definitely some disturbing themes, but thankfully, the author avoided being overly descriptive, and I was able to read the entire book without pitching it. In fact, I read the entire book in one night!

There were some parts of the plot that were a little too convenient. Also, I hate that child abuse is so prevalent in books and movies. However, this was a good story, and, thanks to the author's skillful writing, I couldn't put it down, didn't pitch it, and finished it in one night without feeling emotionally scarred.
