This certainly wasn't one of those unputdownable books. It was a case of keep ploughing through to find out what happens. In my opinion there were far too many characters in the story which made it hard to relate to any of them and was quite confusing.
Sorry...not for me

This was okay. Not the most exciting read. I did like the characters, though. Will try the author in the future.

This was a real edge of your seat thriller, with so many twists and turns, you wont know which way is up! Fantastic and gripping read!

I loved the premise but found it hard to get into this book. I tried several times to get into it but found it very slow. I did persevere and it did get better, with some good twists. But i imagine many people could be put off by the very slow start.

Tried to read this but really struggled to get into it. Will try again as I feel I will enjoy it if I persevere

Omg talk about a roller coaster read wow this book kept me on the edge of my seat threw out I just couldn't put it down this writer keeps you hooked and once your hooked your not letting go I found this book thrilling the characters were fantastic and well thought out and the little clues all the way threw keep you guessing until the end this book stays with you long after you close the book this book is well worth the read I promise you wont be disappointed

Holly is running. Several years ago her brother disappeared and his girlfriend were murdered. Was this the doing of her father ... a crime boss? She's making new life for herself and her young son... away from the family she's grown to hate and fear.

When she becomes involved in an auto accident, she finds that her child is not in the back seat ... her child has been replaced by a child she's never seen.

She has spent years trying to escape her past .. evidently someone will go whatever it takes to lead her back. Her abusive husband? Her crime-ridden family? And where is her son?

This was a bit of a slow starter ... with many characters being introduced. There are plenty of twists and turns leading to a conclusion that wasn't quite unpredictable. This was not the author's best ... but it won't keep me from reading her again.

Many thanks to the author / HQ Digital / Netgalley for the digital copy of this psychological fiction. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

Full of suspense and keeps you on the edge of your seat. You won't be able to put this book down, and I read it in a single night. Where could this child of come from?

Lots of twists and turns. I liked this book but it wasn't the best I have read recently.
Thank you Netgalley and HQ Digital for giving me the opportunity to give my unbiased opinion.

Nothing is as it seems in this book. Just as soon as you think you have it figured out, the writer throws you a curve ball. Recommended.
TB

This book threw me completely as the content did not match what I was expecting at all. It was good but I didn't race through it and at times was not rushing to pick it back up.

I didn't like the characters but the style of writing was good.

A mediocre read for me sorry.

Thank you netgalley for the advanced copy, wow what a read, the blurb sounded great and the story definitely lived up to the hype. Fast paced and likeable characters I read this within two days. Lots of twists to keep you reading just one more chapter..., looking forward to reading more from this author.

I am afraid I could not get into this book at all. It seemed confusing and flat. A shame, as it sounded promising.

The Forgotten Child by D.E, White. I was hooked in the beginning!! Holly, a single mom, recently divorced and upset, is driving on wet roads with Milo, her son in the back seat when a car behind them starts to tail gate and ended up running them off the road. When Holly wakes up not only is Milo in the backseat but another boy is back there as well. This unknown child brings Holly to a past that she wants to forget but it could also bring back her dead brother. I thoroughly enjoyed the story in the beginning but then for me it started to slow and took me awhile to power through. Great start but like I said, it kind of dragged on for me.

I really enjoyed how this book caught your attention from the first page! This book was very fast paced with a lot of detail. The content was gritty with some adult language. Not my favorite book, but it was a good read.

This book was disappointing for me. I am a fan of thriller books and unfortunately this book was all about organized crime and human trafficking. I didnt connect with the characters at all. The blurb was what grabbed me in the first place and unfortunately it didnt get me at all.

fairly well written drama although fit more with gangland theme maybe? some good twists and turns and as say a goodish read

Well let me start with WOW!!! This was one of the best suspense/thriller books that I have read in a very long time. It kept me constantly turning the pages and on the edge of my seat.

The Forgotten Child was the second book by author D.E. White that I was able to read. I have to say I was really disappointed with this novel. The first one I read blew me out of the water and I was really excited to jump into another one but it just didn't go as planned.
The story starts with Holly Hughes and her son Milo getting run off the road and crashing the car. When she comes to she discovers another child in the back seat. As the reader you're hooked, it has totally grabbed you and you want to keep on reading. But this is where the story goes downhill for me. Holly comes from an estate that's rife with organized crime and although she doesn't live there anymore this seems to become the focal point for the story. Decades long rivalries seem to be coming to a head and there are so many characters and issues between each other that it can be a bit convoluted. The reader is also dealing with Holly's ex husband who really is a horrible person and is putting her through literal hell. Who is the child is Holly's car you ask? Good question! You would think this would be the focal point from the suspenseful car crash. This is not the case at all, moving forward the book lacks in suspense and at times I found it to drone on with unimportant dialogue and unimportant characters.
This by no means is a deal breaker for this author because I know she can write way better novels, this one is just a bump in the road for me as the reader. I should also add that every reader is different and I know it was disappointing for me but some one else may love it. I look forward to reading another book from this author so we can move forward and leave this book in the past.
Thank you to the Publisher and Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was an easy to read thriller thaylt kept my attention all the way through! Lots of twists and surprises I didn't see coming. Very good, would recommend!
