Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy. I was engaged throughout this book and invested in Eve's story. I have mixed feelings about the inclusion of paragraphs from the perspective of the perpetrator. Although they were well-written and added to the intrigue, they gave away the identity well before the end. I did feel the climax was rushed, but the final twists were shocking.

I stayed up all night during a week day at the expense of my sleep. That’s how addictive this book was to me. I liked the fact that it got straight to the point. No long prelude to the “main event”. Based on the book’s description we all know that the fiancé will disappear. So I very much appreciate getting to the point. From then on, the suspense never let up. I was literally sitting on the edge of my chair. As someone who reads many thrillers and many books per month, I am not easy to please but this book hit all the spots.

The end did not disappoint me! Well done. So many books have a built up that leads to a mediocre ending. This took me by surprise. The author took risk and it paid off. I would not have appreciated as much if it was different.

I can definitely see this becoming a best seller. I can’t wait to see what else the author will write or has written.

Well done!

Thank you Netgallay for a free copy in exchange of an honest review..

This was a slow burner thriller which built up suspense throughout. I really enjoyed the writing style and how the story just flowed throughout. It was a thriller full of twists and turns with an ending I really wasn’t expecting. Overall I really enjoyed this thriller and will definitely be recommending it to anyone who loves a good mystery thriller book. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my advanced copy.

I was given this book by NetGalley for an honest review-
It was an exciting day- they had picked out their rings in anticipation for their wedding. They race for the train- she makes it - but where is he?
So many feelings- where is he? Has he left her? Is he alive? What happened to him? And when she starts receiving letters and things are moved around in the apartment she wonders if it is him or who is doing this? And when she thinks her life is finally coming together things take a sinister turn!

I'll be honest, the way this book started was really confusing to keep up with. Broken into different perspectives and tenses left me second guessing what I had just read.

BUT! Once I got the hang of the style, I couldn't put the book down. Definitely not how I expected the story to turn out and was left shocked by the end.

Highly recommend !
And thank you to NetGalley for this copy.

Thank you to Netgalley, the author, and publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. The premise of the book sounded so good. And it had decent reviews so I was intrigued. It stopped about 20% of the way through. I honestly didn’t care about John or if he came back or not. I like when a book starts off with a bang. But you have to have at least SOME character development. We really don’t get to know him as a character until the final chapter. Eve is so naggy. I would’ve left her too! The twist was obvious to me. I skimmed through half of the book just to find out what happens. There’s a lot of repetition and I’m not a fan of the writing style. This author just isn’t for me.

Thank you to Netgallery and the publisher for this ARC. The publication date is the 11th July. What an addictive and jaw dropper of a book it kept me on the edge of my seat right up until the last page and definitely drew me in.

There was many twists and turns that kept me hooked I couldn’t put it down! What an ending I wasn’t expecting that mind- blowing twist. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars! 😊

Eve and John have just bought their wedding rings. It should be a day to continue to celebrate their love. She boards the train and turns to see John didn’t make it before the doors close. He has gone missing. The police feel he just left and don’t show much interest in the case. Family and friends rally round Eve to support her. Eve finds John has hidden some things from her. Strange things begin happening to Eve. Who is doing it? Could it be John? A surprise ending.

A slow start to this novel but once I got going it was good. It shifts tenses and viewpoints which took me a minute to figure out the flow of the narrative but as I said - it turns into quite a thriller.

When Eve and John buy her wedding ring their life is one of the utmost joys - champagne, flower and the works.
While on the subway Eve gets out and when she looks behind her Joe has disappeared completely. He isn't returning and Eve must figure it out.

The end is shocking and the book is good.

Eve and John are shopping for rings and it should be the happiest of times, but her dreams are shattered when John goes missing. This is a predictable, slow burn mystery. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for a copy.

An enjoyable read. Great characters and well written.
An easy read with thrilling moments rather than a thriller.
The ending was a shocker!!
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

Eve and her fiancé John have been happily shopping for wedding rings, when he suddenly disappears without trace.
Eve is supported by her friends and family but strange things keep happening around the flat, and she finds out that John was keeping secrets from her. It's a good plot with lots of suspicious characters and everyone is hiding something. Poor Eve doesn't know who to trust. The ending is a shock. Recommended.

Very suspenseful, interesting and fast paced. As it gets closer to her wedding Eva's husband disappears leaving his passport and watch behind. There are no clues and the police just think he went off on his own.
Eva trying to get on with her life goes back to her journalism job. Strange things happen such as someone getting into her flat, moving things and sending gross things such as a bloody sheep heart. Her friends Rachel, Jess and Victoria try to help and support her. Everything builds to a stunning ending that you might be surprised at.
