THOUGHTS:

Terrifying
Thrilling
Unsettling and oh so good!

All the Missing Girls by Linda Hurtado Bond is so exciting to read, I couldn’t believe I got it through in a couple of sittings, with a twist at every turn - and that final one IYKYK. This neck break speed of a read was so crazy addicting - I couldn’t do anything else but to find out more about what happened with the girls. Great follow up to The Broken Girls and cannot wait for Book 3.

Each of the books are perfect stand alones.

Book: All the Missing Girls
Author: Linda Hurtado Bond
Rating: 4/5 stars

This mysterious and suspenseful thriller was a 4-star read for me!
The short yet adrenaline-filled chapters, the twists, and suspense throughout all made this read incredibly enjoyable. Although the beginning of the book started off a bit slow, once the background knowledge of Cuba and Cuban culture was established - it was a fast-paced race against the clock to find the main character's sister who has gone missing.
I enjoyed that the knowledge that was provided to readers was done so in a tasteful and educational manner that really strengthened the plot of the book.
The characters in the book are well written, and I found myself reading quickly through the chapters to find out what happened next. The twists kept me on my toes as I was reading, and the ending of the book leaves readers with a nice transition into the third book that will be released in the future.

This novel is the second book in a series, but I read it as a standalone and will definitely be going back and reading the first book.
I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a thriller that focuses on the storyline taking place during a time crunch.

Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for the opportunity to read the ARC of All the Missing Girls.

All the Missing Girls by LInda Hurtado Bond is an excellent exiting story that I really enjoyed reading.

The characters are well developed and fleshed out.

There was such excitement and adventure.

The book was very surprising in all the twists and turns.

I really enjoyed this book.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of the new book by Linda Hurtado Bond. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!

Mari is determined to get into Cuba to find her missing sister, whom she fears is under control of their mother's murderer. Along with her cameraman and a detective, they enter the country illegally in the dead of night, with the clock ticking on how long they can stay. They soon realize that they are being watched and may not make it out alive.

While you can certainly read this as a stand alone, All the Broken Girls is a great book that I would recommend reading first. In that book, Mari is on the hunt for her mother's killer. In this book, she is still hunting for him, but now she fears her sister may be in big trouble as well. Just as in the first, the author's real life anchor job makes Mari's story more real, and I loved the Cuban plot line once again. This one definitely has a creepy, scary vibe to it, as Mari realizes that her sister is not the only missing girl. The reality might be one of the creepiest things I've read, but there's also a touch of romance. It ended on a cliffhanger so I can't wait for the next book!

I love when an author can pull you into her story and not let you go to the very end. I also enjoy it very much when an author, blends fact and fiction Learning about Cuban culture was also very interesting to me. I cannot wait to read the third book in this series.Ms.Bond is fast becoming a favorite author, and I will look for more of her other works. I would recommend this to anybody who enjoys a good mystery with lots of suspense and wonderful characters.


I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley. This is my honest and voluntary review.

What a rollercoaster of a ride during the whole second half of this book!! It started a little slow for me but you really needed the background into the Cuban culture to understand who is taking the missing girls. Those many twists at the end left my mind spinning in the very best way!!

Rating: 4.5/5
I received an eARC for my honest opinion.

Wow, I didn’t know that this was book 2 of the Mari Alvarez series, and now I need to read book one. This book will take you on a ride through Cuba with Mari, Tony and Orlando. They’re all there looking for Mari's sister Lizzy who sent a text to her sister using their own code, saying that she needed help and couldn’t leave on her own. This book has everything that I love in mystery books; it’s a thriller, with twists and turns throughout the plot, it has perfect amount of suspenseful moments, look through the eyes of what people in Cuba dealt/deal with (of course not everything in the book is real), I loved that even though this was a mystery/thriller you will find a small amount of romance in the book and it doesn’t take away from the plot at all but for me it added another layer of the story. I found that the author’s writing was easy to read and flowed, I liked that pace was fast, and there was something new on every page.

I found the characters to be well developed, and easy to connect with or to relate with. I liked that with Mari, you will find a smart, determined, resourceful female character, she is also loyal to her family and friends. She will do anything it takes to make sure that her sister is safe, even though she is still mad/hurt with the truth that she found out in the first book. You will see that Mari will do whatever it takes to bring her sister home safe. While she is out looking for signs of her sister, she finds out there are other missing girls, all around the same age. The journalist in her, can’t help but find the missing pieces to where her sister is and find the other missing girls while is at it. I liked that she is smart, but at the same time you have the need to find the truth as well, so you will see a side of her that will push at topics that are not talked about in Cuban culture.

I will be reading the first book now, and I can’t wait to find out what is going to happen in book three after the ending in this book. This author is already on my top list for mystery/thriller books.

I want to thank NetGalley and Entangled Pub for the opportunity to review this book.

In All the Missing Girls, crime reporter Mari Alvarez travels illegally to Cuba to search for her missing sister. She finds more than that when she discovers there are a number of missing girls. Dealing with the local culture and superstitions, she tries to navigate her way around with the help of some local friends. It's all very tense right from the start.

I really liked this. While there were a few slow spots, it moved along quite nicely and had a good level of action sequences. I did like the insight into Cuban culture.

This is the second book in a series about crime reporter Mari Alvarez, but it works well as a standalone and it made me want to read the first book in the series, so that's a good thing.

Overall, an engaging mystery / thriller with suspenseful atmosphere throughout. I found Mari to be an interesting character and wanted to know more about her. There is a cliffie, so beware you will be left wanting more.

The book "All the Missing Girls" by Linda Hurtado Bond isn't officially part of a series, but it actually is. After reading the first book, "All the Broken Girls", Linda became a must-read author for me.These books are fast-paced mysteries filled with suspense and thrills that kept me eagerly turning the pages. Additionally, even though this is the second book in the Mari Alvarez series, it can be enjoyed as a standalone story without missing any important information.

I really enjoyed being fully immersed in Cuban culture in this book. The author skillfully integrated facts about Cuba, its culture, and spiritual beliefs (specifically Santeria) into the story in a way that felt educational and enriching without overwhelming the reader with information.
This author really has a knack for infusing every page with mystery and magic. The unexpected ending leaves readers on another cliffhanger, indicating that there will be more to come.

I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series, "The Phantom Pirate of Gasparilla".

Thank you to Linda Hurtado Bond, Entangled Publishing, and NetGalley for the eARC of All the Missing Girls.

All The Missing Girls by Linda Hurtado Bond is not listed as a series, but it is. The first book, All The Broken Girls made Linda a must read author for me and I can hardly wait until she comes out with the next book in the series. They are fast paced mystery, suspense, thrillers that kept me flipping the pages.

Mari, an investigative journalist, Tony, her detective friend and love interest, and her photographer, Orlando, are on their way to Cuba. They may be the main characters, but there are plenty of peripheral characters that shine. They will be entering the country illegally to find her sister, Izzy, who she believes has been kidnapped by Raul, the man who killed her mother.

They were going to make a documentary about finding Izzy, until they find young girls are going missing and the fodder for the documentary grows. It doesn’t matter what she has to do, but Mari is not leaving Cuba without her sister. As they dodge the military and those who want to shut them up, the danger rises.

Whoa…as I read along I quickly figure out where the story was going, but it was such a grisly shock when I got there and Linda took a step further, making it even more shocking than I thought and shivers ran up and down my spine. I hate confined spaces. I love when an author can take something that seems predictable and ratchets it up a notch.

Each book has two mysteries to be solved, one which ends in the book, but it leaves a cliffhanger type ending for the ongoing mystery that will take place in the next book. I can hardly wait to get my hands on Book III, The Phantom Pirate of Gasparilla.

Three o’clock pm, Friday, September eighth. The clock starts ticking. Again

Really good story. I enjoyed the Cuban culture aspects and mystery that unfolds. There were some twists that I did not see coming. Looking forward to reading more books by this author.

Love this. Will give a better review at a later date but definitely 4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️s.. thank you NetGalley for this opportunity. Linda Hurtado Bond for writing a fabulous book.

The second book in the series. It does work as a stand alone, but with a cliffhanger ending the author/publisher tries to ensure that you will continue this book as a series. The descriptions of Cuba were gorgeous.

What would you do to find your missing sister? Join Mari, Tony, and Orlando as they enter Cuba under the cover of darkness and have only 48 hours to find Izzy and return to the boat dock. Almost immediately things begin to go sideways, and they find that Izzy isn’t the only missing girl. There’s something evil in Cuba and many forces are working against them as the time runs out.

Can they find Izzy and the other missing girls in time? You’ll never see what’s coming in this spine-tingling thriller! It will keep you on the edge of your seat as you race through to find out what happens next! While it’s the 2nd in a series you can definitely read it as a standalone. Loved this book and hated to see it end!

I did not know this was book two of a series, but it worked well as a standalone novel. The story jumps right in to Mari's sister, Izzy, being missing in Cuba. Mari and her friends, Orlando and Tony. illegally enter Cuba to record a documentary and find Izzy.

This book was very entertaining and I was able to read it in just a few hours. It was intense and suspenseful, and right when I thought the author had enough, there was yet another twist waiting to happen.

I'm surprised I was able to figure out the main villain and their means of action. The author was very clever by crafting a nightmare-type situation, and she did an excellent job describing the scene. Not only that, but she perfectly set up the third book. I'll definitely be back for more!

Thank you to Linda Hurtado Bond, Entangled Publishing, and NetGalley for the eARC. This is my honest review.

After reading All the Broken Girls two years, I hoped for a sequel and I finally got my wish! This time, Mari and Tony sneak into Cuba to find Mari’s sister. While there, they discover many other girls have gone missing as well.

Not only are Mari and Tony in Cuba illegally, they are being followed by a government watchdog, which adds to the tension as they conduct their investigation. Like the previous book, Cuban culture, Santeria, and also Brujeria play a part in the story, which adds another layer of depth. As they follow the clues, Mari and Tony find themselves up against two of the most interesting villains I have read in awhile.

All the Missing Girls has a little bit of everything: twists, action, suspense, a little romantic tension, and a cliffhanger! Needless to say, I cannot wait for book three.

This is a very exciting thriller. Our heroine is a journalist who is searching for her missing sister in Cuba. Her partners are men she has worked with before. A video journalist who will document everything and a detective with family in Cuba who is helping with logistics and protection.
There is danger from everywhere. The search turns up more disappearances. All clues lead to a very strange place.
This story will keep you on the edge of your seat all the way through. There is heartbreak and happiness at the end. Then a teaser for the next book in this exciting series.
Very exciting.

Thank you to @entangled_publishing and @authorlindahurtadobond for the gifted e-book.

This was a thrilling and suspenseful ride.

Mari Alvarez, a television reporter in Florida, sneaks into Cuba to rescue her sister and bring her mother’s murderer to justice in the states. With her videographer, Orlando, and her Cuban-Anerican police detective friend, Tony, they embark on a journey to find her sister before they have to meet the boat to take them home. They have 48 hours to find her. What they find is that her sister is not the only girl gone missing. As they investigate, they find the truth, and it is darker and more disturbing than they could have imagined.

Despite not knowing there was a prequel, All the Broken Girls, I found this book thoroughly engaging as a standalone read. The suspense heightened as the clocked wound down, with the intriguing depiction of Cuba and the deep exploration of its cultural practices. Mari emerged as a resilient, resourceful heroine, and her steadfast bond with Orlando and Tony is heartfelt. The tantalizing conclusion set the stage for the sequel, "The Phantom Pirate of Gasparilla," promising another exhilarating race against time.

If you enjoy suspenseful thrillers, this book is a must-read!

All the Missing Girls by Linda Hurtado Bond was a fantastic thriller of a mystery.
I loved All the Broken Girls! So I was super excited to jump straight into this book!
It was so good being back with crime reporter Mari Alvarez.
The characters pulled me in the first word and kept me engaged to the end. I enjoyed watching their growth and what they added to the story. The twists and turns had me sitting on the edge of my seat.

Thank You NetGalley and Entangled: Amara for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!
