This book was definitely a page turner. Alternating between past and present timelines, a nightmare situation for any mother is uncovered with heartbreaking details, flashbacks from a traumatic childhood, and so many twists and unexpected details that keep you hooked from the beginning until the end, trying to figure out the truth. I thought I had it figured out and suspected many of the main characters a different points, but I was still surprised by the final twist. Definitely a great read. Thank you to Darren O’Sullivan, Joffe Books, and NetGalley for the ARC in return for my honest review.

At the beginning of this book I thought it was going to be a bit predictable but I couldn't have been more wrong. It was fast paced and exciting with several very good twists. It's definitely a book to be read when you don't have to get up the next day because once you start you won't put it down until the very last page.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book.

You know how sometimes you read a book and immediately figure it all out? Well this is NOT that book. You'll think you know...but you don't know. I saw this recommended by another author whose books I enjoy. They were spot on with their recommendation. This book will have you on the edge of your seat. Great work.

The Night they stole my baby by Darren O'Sullivan was an excellent book and an addictive read, I ended up reading it in one sitting. Once I opened my kindle and started to read this book I was hooked. It was full of great twists and turns throughout which kept me wanting more.

I loved it and Highly recommend this book.

Big Thank you to NetGalley and Joffe Books for my ARC.

I couldn't even imagine what I would do if this happened to me! this was a great book. It kept me guessing. I liked how the storylines told the past and the present. Great read!

This book is every parent’s nightmare. No mother wants to wake up and find out that the baby she was carrying is gone. Where and how do you even begin your search? Some women really don’t know how strong they really are until it comes to their children. Buckle up for a ride that you won’t forget. Great read!!

I read this book based on a recommendation by the author John Marrs and I couldn’t be happier. When I began reading it, I just knew I had it figured out but boy was I wrong! I could not put this book down and the twists keep you on your toes!

This was a brilliant thriller from Darren O’Sullivan. I’ve read all his previous books so this one was eagerly awaited as he is one of my favourite authors. Once again he has delivered a gripping thriller that’s kept me interested throughout

I loved the dual timelines, both of which, were from Emily’s point of view. They were equally as thrilling, but the past chapters just edged it for me with the fast pace, you can’t help but be intrigued to read the next chapter to see where the story goes.

It had a really intriguing storyline that keeps your interest, it’s full of deceit and lies. There was plenty

Loved this book. I couldnt put it down. I needed to know what the connection was. Love a book that keeps you guessing and this one did it for me. Highly recommend.

I sped through this book! I found myself desperate to know what was gonna happen next! It's a book I found very hard to put down!
Imagine being attacked on the way home from a baby shower and waking up in the hospital no longer pregnant, with a missing baby?!?! Just heart-stoppingly terrifying!

Emily was a very easy character to root her, and through chapters from the pov of her present and past, she had my whole heart from beginning to end.

The story itself kept me on the edge of my seat from the very first page. The twists and turns had my heart racing, and it was all just so intense! Brilliantly-crafted!

I did think the ending was a tiny bit rushed, but this is a read that I won't forget in a hurry!

Thank you, Netgalley, for allowing me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is definitely a thriller you wont want to put down! Alternating between Emily’s traumatic childhood and the present when her newborn is stolen from her while she is still recovering from the birth. When Emily was young, her family made headlines on Christmas when her younger sister Freya died. Emily has tried to distance herself from her difficult past and is reluctant to connect the disappearance of her newborn with the loss of her sister so many years ago, but could the two traumatic events be related somehow?

Both parts of the story (past and present) are interesting and will have the reader invested all the way through. This book is both fast-paced and a quick read, making it impossible to put down. This is a super well-written suspense novel, and one I would definitely recommend! Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to read and review this great book!

As a fresh mom myself this book gave me such anxiety!!! I love both the main plot and the flashbacks. I felt for this mama so much. I guessed the who done it pretty early on but I still enjoyed myself and it wrapped together nicely! Thanks for the read Netgally

I was looking forward to reading this but it was removed from my shelf before I even had to the chance to read it. So, unfortunately I cannot review this book.

Thrilling and suspenseful!! This book flips back and forth between Emily's childhood and present day.. There are two mysteries to unravel.. Who attacked and stole Emily's baby Freya, and how Emily's actions led to the death of her sister Freya during her tumultuous childhood.
This was a great book that kept me desperately turning the pages to find out what happened next amd trying to figure out who was involved in the kidnapping of baby Freya. I haven't read anything by this author before, but I will definitely be reading more in the future.

This was an absolutely addictive read - I read it in the space of two hours because I couldn't tear my eyes away. The disappearance of Emily's baby girl was horrifying to say the least, I wanted to jump into the pages myself and solve the mystery. The book was fast paced and had me completely on the edge of my seat the whole way through. Emily's past was also incredibly fascinating and because I do love my theories, I was able to figure the plot twist out and what a twist it was! I'm usually a bit over the top with my theories, but Darren matched my unhinged mind and it was brilliant. I loved every second, it was everything I needed and wanted in a thriller.

ADDICTIVE, EXCITING, GRIPPING PAGE TURNER! This sucked me in from the first pages.

Sixteen years ago Emily killed her little sister, how or why we do not know, now Emily’s newborn daughter has disappeared. Told on dual timelines, the lead up in Emily’s past to her sisters death, and the aftermath in the present of her baby going missing, we flip between both as both stories are unveiled.

This book was fast paced and edgy, desperate to find out what happened in both the past and present and how they are linked. I couldn’t put this down, and had to stay up late to finish in one sitting.

This Is a new author for me but I’ve already added more of his titles to my TBR, his writing is engaging, littered with red herrings and full of suspense. Exactly the ingredients for a good psychological thriller for me.

Thank you NetGalley, the publisher and Darren O’Sullivan for access to a free copy in exchange for my honest review.
