Title: Gone but not
Author: Shane Spyre
Genre: Mystery

Different POV's throughout the novel, especially towards the ending when all comes out to the light. Charlotte, Iris, Dove and Rae. Children all with a dark and mysterious past. Family members with too many secrets and outsiders with their own agenda.

I truly enjoyed the short chapters, upon opening the book you see there is over 100 chapters but each chapter is 2-3 pages. Short snippets of peoples truth, opinions or feelings chapter by chapter while building up a story that spans several years. At the end you just can't believe what you are reading.

Towards the end it got a little confusing as the author goes and forth between 5 and more characters, their pov and different years. But it's all important for the conclusion of the book!

I give this a 4 of 5 stars!

Wow! This book had me feeling all the emotions.

I really wanted to like this book. It kept me intrigued and wanting to know the truth the entire time. But the story and timelines were all over the place and you never really knew what was going on. I also wasn’t aware before reading that it would be told in the POV of a ten year old, so it was a little too young for me to enjoy.

A good , dark thriller. Always intriguing when characters must go back and revisit past events. I love the deceit and the surprises. Thank you for the ARC

This story was all over the place, kidnappings, murder, asylums. It was too much and didn't work for me at all. Also the main characters were not handling the situations according their age. It was just not believable.

I really didn't enjoy this story at all and I just read it to finish it.

Thank you Netgalley.

This book was all over the place to me. It was a mystery but I found it hard to follow. And some of the actions seemed out of the norm for the ages of the characters.

A family, mystery, murder and all others things thrown into the story just didn’t flow right to me.

Imagine being 10 years old and finding out the woman you’ve been living with isn’t your mother? That’s what happened to Iris, she was walked across a field to a police officer and told she’s been missing two years and her name is actually Charlotte. This thriller has so many twists and was hard to figure out before the big aha moment was revealed.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC**

I wasn’t too sure if I would enjoy this as I didn’t know how the story was going to work but omg it was such an excellent read so glad I have read it. It was full of suspense from start to finish I was gripped. It was well written thriller which was fast paced. I will definitely be recommending this fantastic book. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my advanced copy.

I was really keen to read this, based on the synopsis and it didn’t let me down! I had so many questions throughout and just had to keep reading to find out!! A dark and twisted thriller making your question just who you can trust.

The plot of this book was very exciting and suspensful especially when coupled with the fact that I didn't know who to trust during the novel and I found myself questioning throughout, great read overall.

Iris, age 10, is walked by her mother to a field, where she says goodbye. Iris is met at the other end by police where she is told her name is Charlotte and she has been missing for two years. This is just the beginning. Spyre’s psychological thriller is unusual and perplexing. There are several characters, multiple POVs, and different points in time. Is she Charlotte from the Gallagher family, or is she Iris? Is anyone telling the truth? Absolutely no character can be trusted. The story twists and turns, weaving a very complex web that will send your head spinning. This is a book you will keep thinking about long after you are finished reading. With thanks to Netgalley and The Book Folks for this ARC. My opinions are my own.
