Absolutely loved this next book in the Cyrus Haven series. The book starts off with a bang & we realize right away things are different as Eve is starting to remember more & sharing more with Cyrus.

When they run across a boy rescued from a refugee boat it opens the door to her remembering everything.

This was such a heartfelt & satisfying way to share Evie’s past.

This is such a fantastic series. I really love the way Robotham tells a story. His head is a pretty dark place it seems, and while I wouldn't want to live there I definitely enjoy visiting from time to time! I have thoroughly enjoyed watching Cyrus and Evie's tale unfold, and I cannot oversell the satisfaction in seeing the revelations dropped one after the other. In a series of horrifying memories, all of Evie's life comes back to her - bent but not broken, she survives reliving it with her characteristic snark and self-deprecation.

It's a little difficult to see where the series will go, if anywhere, from here. Not that either of their stories are wrapped up, so to speak, but more because the underlying tension between them which was embodied by her unremembered past will need to seismically shift to move them forward. But I would never doubt Robotham's ability to manipulate such a shift in focus, and as I have grown to love the characters I would be delighted to continue traveling down the road with them!

With many thanks to Netgalley for this free arc and I am leaving this unbiased review voluntarily Every book in this series has been a five star read for me, so did book four live up to the expectation? Hell yeah! This is another cracking instalment from Michael Robotham. The interaction between Cyrus and Evie is as brilliant as ever and bang on point. The author has chosen the debatable and controversial subject of migrant crossings as his setting for this story, however whatever the readers views are on this it amazingly doesn't interfere with the enjoyment of the book. What I loved most though was learning more of the background of the wonderful yet broken Evie and her entire story through the first three books has finally been resolved. Great pace to the book and well plotted and a lovely emotional ending that just finished everything off nicely. A solid storyline that delivered on every level. More please Michael!

This was an amazing book. I highly recommend it to everyone. Great characters and a great plot. I will be looking for more books by this author. The book is superbly written. Lots of twists, turns and shocking turns of events. Quickly becoming a go to author for me!!!! If you love to read a book and be shocked by the ending then check out this author for sure. You will love this book and this author

I will tell you that this series is very dark. Things like human trafficking, rape and abuse are heavy subjects mentioned throughout this book and the series as a whole. If these TW are too heavy for you, I suggest skip right over this. For me, it’s not too bad. There have been other books that were way worse and more disturbing for my taste. Oh man, the ending was something special. I almost cried. Heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. Robotham gave it an amazing finish and I look forward to the next installment! Michael Robotham is an excellent writer. Cyrus continues to intrigue me and this book certainly tests him in new ways. This book is really full on with a lot of action and many, many very upsetting themes which are all too current. I feel this book shines a light on issues from which many wish to turn their heads away, and bravo for doing that. This author knows how to tell a horror story which relies solely on human nature for its horror and he has hit the mark once again. It was great to learn more about Evie’s history, and in so doing also learn more about the nature of trauma and suppressed memories.

Another fantastic addition to the Cyrus Haven series. I would argue that this should be renamed the Cyrus and Evie series, but I understand why it's just Cyrus. He's badass. But so is Evie (maybe a bit more). The complexities of Cyrus and Evie's life are getting to be pretty intense and the older that Evie gets the harder it is for her to understand her relationship with Cyrus, but I love how she is dealing with that evolution of character.

Robotham is a master of the suspense and thriller genre and his writing is exceptional. The way that he builds the characters of his novels is incredible. At this point, I would love to have a Joe/Cyrus crossover event, and I sincerely hope that he is thinking about doing this. Joe is mentioned a couple of times in Storm Child, but I need more. My hope is that Joe and Cyrus get to adventure together someday.

Evie's story is further explored and her origins are uncovered. By all accounts, it is a harrowing story, but one that has to be told and Robotham nails the suspense and the slow reveal. I truly loved how this novel was written. Total winner. The story, the reveals, the action, it was all perfect. Great read and an addition to a wonderful series.

This is a dark and emotional tale that will make you feel all sorts of things; you have been warned!

I picked up this book not paying attention that it was the fourth in a series but hey, I was absolutely fine but would I recommend doing so? Not really! But you can read this as a standalone if you so wish.

The writing is impeccable, the plot is well-executed and that ending? Absolutely beautiful.

Do you need to suspend disbelief to fully enjoy this read? Absolutely but you will gladly do it!

I am a huge fan of all of Michael Robotham’s novels, whether they are in a novel series or stand alone. But I have to say that the Cyrus Haven series is my very favorite. In this fourth novel in the series, we finally found out the secrets about Evie’s past. While on Lincolnshire beach for a little vacation, Evie and Cyrus witness a dozen dead bodies of migrants wash on shore. While Cyrus rushes in to try and save them, Evie is sent into a trance like, catatonic state. Cyrus, realizing that this event has some connection to Evie’s own secret past, decides to investigate. He soon discovers that there are many layers to this dark story and risks everything to find the truth and hopefully set Evie’s demons free. This was an excellent read that I highly suggest.

Wow! My first book by Michael Robotham but it won't be my last! A crime thriller with lots of heartbreaking drama. I had tears at the end. Cyrus is a forsenic psychologist that works with the police. Evie is a young woman he fostered late in her teen years and now she lives with as a young adult. She suffers severe PTSD from being trafficked as a child. There is a lot about migrants and human trafficking that lead to murder and mystery. Put this on your TBR list. You won't be disappointed!

Thank you to Net Galley and Simon & Shuster for an advanced digital copy to read ahd review.

This is yet another phenomal entry into the Evie/Cyrus universe. Not only are the plots in this series engaging and thought provoking, but we get to watch the evolution of a relationship based on kindness, platonic love, and loyalty. All of that, flavored with Evie's sense of humor and Cyrus' dry wit, makes for an incredible reading experience. This is one of those series you never want to end and will always buy outright instead of even bothering with a sample if you're not getting the ARCs.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for providing this novel in exchange for an unbiased review.

I had not read the others in the series, but this book was still easy enough to follow along that I didn't feel that lost. I was drawn in and found it captivating. I couldn't wait to see what awaited me on the next page. I think that starting with this book in the Evie and Cyrus world was perfect for me. I loved reading about her and learning things through her. I think if I would have started with one of Cyrus' books I may have been disappointed, however, I can't say for sure because I have not read them....yet. I am working on reading the whole series now. I also truly love the cover. It sums up the book wonderfully once you've read it. I will also read every single thing recommended by Stephen King.

I was so happy to receive the fourth Cyrus Haven and Evie Cormac novel from Michael Robotham. I absolutely love his books. You can definitely read this as a standalone. Cyrus is a forensic psychologist with a very sad past and he is a natural with Evie, who was found years ago hiding in a closet and deeply traumatized. In this installment, many migrants wash up on a beach in Lincolnshire, which propels Cyrus and Evie to confront missing and terrifying memories from her past. These two characters are so fascinating and have evolved throughout the four books. It’s a complicated and interesting mystery, and in the process, Cyrus and Evie seem to help heal each other. Highly recommended! With thanks to Netgalley and Scribner for this ARC. My opinions are my own.

Number Four in Michael Robotham’s rich suspense series featuring Cyrus Haven and Evie Cormac, Storm Child promises answers to Evie’s identity and history, and it delivers. Readers of the first three books will appreciate it most, but it is an exciting episode accessible as a standalone read, with a well-plotted mystery and rewarding outcome. Dig into the series to meet Cyrus and Evie, main characters who are damaged but wise, and worthy of your time and respect.

Amazing. Even though I love Michael Robotham's books, I honestly didn't think I was going to like Storm Child n the first couple of chapters. I try to avoid fictional stories that focus on a topic that is at the forefront of a current political conversation. Not because I don't care about the topic but because I use fiction to escape real life.

This is so much more. We finally get Evie's story and find out what happen to her before becoming Angel Face. The wait was worth it.

3.5 Stars.

I was soo excited to read the final (i think) book to this series. I really enjoyed the other books and absolutely love Cyrus and Evie's relationship.

Although I enjoyed this one, it was not my favorite out the series. I love how we finally got to learn of Evie's past, a lot of the book was kind of redundant and unbelievable. BUUUT, I still liked it. I love Mr. Robotham's writing style and if there is another Cyrus Haven book I would definitely be one of the first to read.

Michael Robotham is consistently excellent. A recommended purchase for collections where crime and thrillers are popular.

Cyrus Haven and Evie Cormac are back (I didn’t know they were gone.) As a small child an abused Evie was found hiding in a secret room where a man had been tortured to death. Now it seems that a new case is bringing some of her old memories back to her.

As to the new case itself, seventeen bodies of migrants have washed ashore on a British beach. There is one survivor and two women are missing. The survivor says the boat was deliberately sunk. Psychologist Cyrus Haven is asked to assist with the investigation. He and Evie have a limited time to find the missing women and, perhaps, to determine how Evie’s recovered memories fit in?

This is book four in the Cyrus Haven series, but this book is all about Evie. It’s also listed under the title BEFORE YOU FOUND ME as well as the instant title, on Goodreads, perhaps that was the title in the UK? Anyway, I haven’t read any of the previous books in the series, but did fine with this one.

I learned very little about Haven, other than about his bird tattoos, but lots about Evie. I don’t know that I would want to be around her as a person, but she was an interesting character. And I do t know how much help she would be at solving crimes, because she kept doing things that were ill-advised. I guess the knowing when people are lying is helpful. I liked the book, though.

I was given this book by NetGalley for an honest review-
As 17 migrants wash up on the beach with only one alive- Evie remembers being a child hiding in a secret room. What a childhood she has had. Cyrus is recruited to investigate the murders- he wonders if this will help unlock all the secrets of Evies past.

Michael Robotham never fails to deliver! Storm Child is the fourth book in the Cyrus Haven series. If you haven't read it yet, you should check it out as soon as possible. If you're a fan of the series like I am, you know that we've only had a small glimpse into Evie's past. However, in Storm Child, we finally get some answers to our questions. I've always admired Evie's strength, but after reading this book, I'm completely blown away by it. The plot is incredibly powerful, and as expected from Michael Robotham, I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book. The bond between Cyrus and Evie is nothing short of miraculous, and I could keep reading this series forever!

Michael Robotham is hands down one of my favorite authors and I never hesitate to recommend his Joe O'Loughlin series to folks looking for a new author or new series to discover. Storm Child is the most recent in Robotham's Cyrus Haven's series, which focuses on Forensic psychologist Cyrus Haven and Evie Cormac the young woman he protects who can tell instantly if people are telling the truth.

Storm Child involves a boat crash which kills refugees but brings back some of Evie's memories. It puts Cyrus and Evie on the path to search for what happened with these refugees and to Evie years ago.

This wasn't my favorite of Robotham's books, mainly because it had been a while since I had been introduced to Evie's past and couldn't remember how they connected and several things that were referenced later on in the book. However, I am totally invested in Cyrus and Evie as characters and stayed up late to finish this book and will absolutely drop everything when the next in the series comes out.
