In "The Missing Piece," we meet Olivia and Liam, a married couple whose seemingly ordinary life takes an unexpected turn when Liam becomes increasingly withdrawn after tackling a high-stakes case. As Olivia struggles with her husband's emotional distance, she begins to experience unsettling occurrences—a shadowy figure seems to be following her, heightening her fears. The situation escalates when Liam mysteriously disappears, forcing Olivia to decipher the complicated web of secrets surrounding their lives before time runs out.

This was my first encounter with the writing of Hilary Amanda, and it definitely won’t be my last! I wholeheartedly recommend this gripping thriller to anyone who enjoys a story filled with twists and emotional depth. The narrative weaves together themes of secrecy, deception, love, loyalty, and family ties, creating a rich tapestry of intrigue that keeps you glued to the pages. What will Olivia uncover when the truth comes to light and the masks come off?

Amanda’s writing style is engaging from the very first page. The pacing is expertly crafted, with tension that builds gradually, reaching a boiling point, especially in the latter half of the novel. Each character is vividly portrayed, bringing their unique traits to life, but Olivia truly stole the show for me, emerging as a compelling and relatable protagonist.

One of the standout features of this book is its dual ending, allowing readers to choose how Olivia and Liam’s story concludes. This innovative aspect adds a refreshing twist, making the reading experience interactive in a way I’ve never encountered before. It introduces a delightful layer of engagement that enhances the overall impact of the story.

Overall, "The Missing Piece" is a meticulously crafted mystery that will keep readers on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting each revelation until the final page.
