These are always such quick reads with good plot and pacing. Nikki had a couple more annoying comments than usual and her superiority gets irritating. The team wasn’t in it as much. The one part is toeing the line on being too connected.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced review copy.

Wow, this was my first experience with this author and series but it certainly won’t be my last! I was up until 4am because I simply could NOT put this one down until I was finished

Nikki Hunt is a very likable character, an FBI agent called to investigate two decomposed bodies found in a boarded up apartment. The story takes hold within the first pages and never lets go.

Even with multiple character and story arcs (ex: a cold case and an active missing persons case being investigated simultaneously), the book is easy to read and follow. The story kept me guessing until the very end, with so many twists and turns I couldn’t put my finger on exactly who did what. But not in a frustrating or confused way….more of an intriguing “how does this crazy puzzle fit together??” way!

I can’t wait to read more about Nikki in the previous 9 books!

I have always enjoyed this series and this one was really good. What made it good for me was the case. It kept me interested. I can’t wait to read the next one.

Thank you to netgalley for this arc. I am so grateful I got to read this book before the publishing date! I’ve read this entire series from the beginning! I’ve been so excited for this one for months now! I’m a big fan of Stacy Green and the Nikki Hunt series. This was a page turner and a hard to put down book for me. There’s always twists and turns and this book takes you on quite the roller coaster ride. I did not see some of those twists and turns coming! I love when it is hard to guess what is going to happen next! If you love thrillers, I highly recommend this book and the rest of the Nikki Hunt series.

Nikki is back in her game with #10. When two remains are found in an abandoned house and missing kids, she has her hands full. So we’re following Nikki as she tries to solve a cold case and trying to find a missing teen boy. Nothing is as it seems in this case. I liked that this was just go from the start. This never had a dull moment. Highly enjoyed this one.

I have been a huge fan of this series since book one, feting to catch up with my favorite FBI agent Nikki Hunt is always a great ride!

A cold case, a missing teen , dead bodies in the wall, what more could a girl want!
thank you to this author for another great installment to this series, can’t wait for the next installment!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Stacy Green has once again delivered a jaw-dropping, edge-of-your-seat thriller with Little Child Gone, the latest installment in the Nikki Hunt series. From the very first page, the tension is palpable, and I couldn’t put the book down until the final shocking twist.

The story begins with Special Agent Nikki Hunt investigating a chilling discovery in an abandoned farmhouse—a hidden room, a dark stain, and the remains of what appears to be two children. The connection to a ten-year-old disappearance only deepens the mystery, but just as Nikki begins to uncover the truth, she’s pulled into another case: the disappearance of fourteen-year-old Taylor Hall.

What follows is a brilliantly crafted narrative that intertwines past and present secrets, with Nikki at the heart of it all. The complexities of the Hall family’s hidden lives, the eerie connection between Taylor’s disappearance and the long-forgotten tragedy at the farmhouse, and the relentless pursuit of justice make this book an absolute page-turner. Green’s writing is sharp, atmospheric, and filled with just the right amount of suspense. The twists are unpredictable, and each clue Nikki uncovers sends her—and the reader—down a new, thrilling path.

Nikki Hunt is one of the most compelling characters in modern crime thrillers. Her determination, grit, and empathy shine through, especially as she digs deeper into a case that threatens to unravel everything she thought she knew about her own work. The relationships she navigates—both with her team and those she encounters—feel real and grounded, making the stakes feel all the more personal.

With impeccable pacing and a storyline that grabs hold and never lets go, Little Child Gone is a must-read for fans of tense, emotional, and suspenseful thrillers. Stacy Green has outdone herself, and this book is a perfect example of why the Nikki Hunt series is so addictive. Be prepared for a rollercoaster ride of twists, turns, and heart-stopping moments. Highly recommend!

Thanks to Ms Green, NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review

Yet another jewel from Ms. Green.
Before you even start this book, make sure to fasten your seat belt, and make sure it's snug cuz you're gonna be in for one helluva ride!
Nikki and friends are trying to figure out why some teenage males are disappearing close to her town, and one more has just vanished. The farther Nikki gets into this puzzle, the more confusing it becomes. With every win there's a loss. With every piece added to the puzzle, the bigger the puzzle gets.
Get this book and get one for all of your friends, too! It will be well worth your time>

Nikki Hunt book #10 and still going strong!

I feel very lucky to have discovered a brilliant author such as Stacey Green from being a part of NetGalley. She’s such a hardworking author, pumping out multiple books a year - all brilliant in their own right - and yet she is still what I would call ‘undiscovered’. The world of crime fiction is a busy one, and with writers from other genres trying their hand in it, it’s a talent if you manage to stand out. For my Stacey Green is a stand out and she deserves a lot more air time and presence than I think she receives in the UK.

This latest book was brilliant. Stacey jumps straight in and from the first chapter it’s hard not to be hooked. If you’ve not read Nikki Hunt before don’t be out off that it is book 10. Each book can be read independently and still enjoyed. And enjoy it, you will!

Thanks to NetGalley for my advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

First, I need to clarify that this is the first book I’ve read by this author. It’s clear immediately that these are recurring characters in a series. Perhaps if I’d read the other books first, certain things wouldn’t have seemed so overwhelming/confusing at the onset. We are hit with a lot of character names and their relationships right off the bat. Some relationships related to the case went back generations, then of course all of the recurring characters all within the couple of chapters. I found myself more focused on trying to keep them straight or even grasp the exact relationships instead of focusing on plot. I understand knowing who everyone are is necessary, I just would have preferred it spread out a bit more. But that’s just me.

However, once I got to the fourth or fifth chapter, I was hooked. Green did an excellent job of weaving everything together and trusting the reader, not giving away too much too fast. I really enjoyed the story, and felt so much empathy for several of the characters. It’s a fact that many abusers are excellent at wearing two different faces, and know just how to pick their victims. Green did such a good job creating a very believable cast of characters…with just enough red herrings thrown in that the reader isn’t sure what’s really going on until the end.

I’ll definitely be reading more books by this author.
5⭐️.

Stacy Green has outdone herself this latest addition to the adventures of Nikki Hunt. If you like great crime stories silvery a strong fbi agent this series is for you.
This story had many twists and turns as two cases came together in an unexpected way.
Nikki and Liam are great characters and.i cant recommend this story enough. Great reating

Another great Nikki Hunt thriller and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Enjoyable from the first to last page. Plenty of twists and turns to keep me enthralled. Well rounded characters and very well written. Look forward to her next offering. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to review it.

This is the 10th book in the Nikki Hunt series. I love this series! Being honest, I have to say this was my least favorite of them all. I didn't really connect to any of the characters. I wasn't crazy with the flow of the story from past to present. Parts of it felt jumbled and I found myself having to go back and reread sections. For me, this one just okay.

Than you #netgalley and #bookouture for the eARC.

This talented author has written a cannot out down novel. Mystery and suspense…realistic characters keep the story moving quickly…I like this author and this series…what will happen next? Even the title is intriguing. Thanks Netgalley

Imagine buying a house and wanting to renovate it. You’ll probably come across a few things left behind by the previous owners, but what the new owner discovered in a cupboard is something no one ever wants to experience.

Is this a new case for our top FBI agent Nikki Hunt? Technically, no—but since the gruesome discovery was made by a friend of hers, she decides to go to the scene anyway. She doesn’t get much time to dig into it, as the disappearance of a teenager demands her full attention.

The book starts off promisingly, with a part that takes us back in time, immediately sparking my inner detective.

Many questions swirled in my mind. Are these two separate cases that Nikki and her team have to deal with, or could there be a connection between the recent disappearance and previous incidents? Or perhaps the cold case and the missing boy are linked?

Nikki is a strong woman who has already endured traumatic experiences and doesn’t let herself be easily shaken. If you want to intimidate her, you’ll have to wake up early—because nothing and no one will stop her from doing what she does best: bringing justice.

Once again, it becomes clear that people are often very good at hiding their true nature, and that someone who is seen as a god by the outside world can turn into a real devil behind closed doors.

I once again thoroughly enjoyed this thrilling installment of an amazing series. I'm ready for Nikki's next adventure. 5 stars.

Thank you

A hidden room, a chilling mystery, and a missing child—this thriller will keep you guessing until the last page!

Rating: 5/5 — A dark, twist-filled thriller that will keep you hooked until the very end.

Nikki Hunt is on the case again. Skeletons are found in an old apartment. What happened? Who were these people. This story will keep you guessing, with all sorts of twists and turns. One came completely out of the blue. As usual with this author you can count on a good story that will keep you turning the pages. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

Little Child Gone is so good! I cannot wait for more in this series. I also would love to see more of Nikki's daughter, Lacey; she is so fun to read about with her spirited personality. The twists and turns in the story are expertly woven, keeping me on the edge of my seat throughout. The characters are richly developed, and their emotional depth adds a layer of complexity that elevates the narrative.

The plot centers around a seemingly ordinary disappearance, but the layers of intrigue and the unraveling secrets make for a compelling read. The author’s ability to create suspense is impressive, as each chapter reveals just enough to keep you guessing and craving more. What stood out most to me was the emotional resonance of the story; it’s not just a thriller but also a poignant exploration of loss, family, and the lengths one will go to for loved ones. I found myself very sad at times in the circumstances of the characters and even cried at the end.

Overall, Little Child Gone is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a tightly woven mystery with great characters. I would recommend this book, this author, and this series. You won't be disappointed.
