I fought to get started with this book. Up until about the 25% mark, I was trying to decide to not DNF it. Then it started to pick up. This story is written with a lot of back and forth of timelines which I don’t personally enjoy, especially in thrillers that ai already find dragging. That being said, I feel like once I started to be invested in the story this set up proved to be beneficial in showing us what happened on the road trip to present day and the repercussions. In this day and age it was a nice touch to add the Instagram references since realistically that’s what teen girls would be using to document their adventures.

Again once I got over the 30% mark I found myself enjoying the twists and turns and anticipating what new discovery would be revealed more and more. I wasn’t left with any burning unanswered questions at the end but I do feel like you have to suspend reality a bit to not find some of the final act as far fetched as it comes across. Overall I am glad I stuck with this story and would definitely recommend if you are looking for a different take on a psychosocial thriller. Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for my ARC.

This has to be made into a movie. Such a compelling premise and so well done. Twists that will have you dizzy as you keep reading this through your lunch, at the dinner table and way past your bedtime to finish it. Crazy ending!

Wow this book was amazing, I thoroughly enjoyed it! I seriously didn't see that end coming, so good go read it!!!

I found that this book started off a little bit slow and it took until maybe 20-30% through for me to feel that it started picking up, however after this I thought it was extremely gripping. I did find myself feeling somewhat frustrated with the characters at the start however as the plot progressed, I thought the author wrote in a way that made you really connect with them and understand why they made certain decisions.

I really enjoyed the writing style the author used throughout this book. The way that it switched between past and present time, whilst progressing through each day of the road trip, really helped the events to unfold smoothly. I thought the inclusion of the Instagram account documenting the road trip also added a nice touch to the structure of the book.

Once this book got going, it constantly left me guessing what could possibly be revealed next and I found myself shocked at many points. I did feel certain parts of the ending were slightly far fetched however I do think everything came together and I didn’t have any burning unanswered questions. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend. Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for my ARC.

What can I say? It’s a book that I couldn’t wait to finish but once I finished I couldn’t think of anything else. It made me stop and just digest. What did I just read? It’s exactly what every book should have.

Throughout the book something felt wrong for me. It started after one third and I was super annoyed but then…, in the end it all felt into the places and I understood.

I highly recommend it. If you need to pick one thriller this month, choose this one.

Thanks to NetGalley for a free copy in exchange of an honest review. And thank you for introducing me to this author. I can’t wait to check out other books.

Wow!! This one was a major page turner!! The story jumps between the present time of Tracy searching for her daughter and the days previously of Amelia & Willow’s trip. As a Michigan gal I really enjoyed the chapters detailing the roadtrip. The girls stopped at a lot of tourist spots including Mackinac Island and Pictured Rocks.

At first I really thought I knew what happened to Willow and who was behind it. Boy was I wrong!!! Each chapter brings you closer and closer to the answers of your burning questions. You will be wondering #WhereisWillow! The way the book is written you surely will not expect the ending. Your jaw will be dropped and you may even gasp - I sure did!

You’ll love this one if you are a fan of thrillers, mysteries, and fast paced stories. If I could read this one again I would! I still can’t get over how much I loved the ending!! I truly believe this title is going to be a big hit among thriller lovers once it is released! 🫶🏻🫶🏻💙💙

This book was incredibly engaging and easy to read. I really enjoyed the author's writing style, which kept me both entertained and captivated throughout. The only reason I'm not giving it a full five stars is that I found the ending a bit rushed. While the twist was completely unexpected, I would have liked a bit more for the ending!

My missing daughter by Ellery A. Kane was such a fantastic thriller. I absolutely loved the story and how well written it was. It had me on the edge of my seat all the way through I could not put it down. There was so many twists and turns it was definitely a rollercoaster of a thriller. I will definitely be recommending this excellent thriller to everyone. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this book.

WOW a book with enough twists to make my head spin. Best friends, Willow and Amelia are writing a book together and to make sure it is realistic, they decide to take a road trip to the places they have written about. But only Amelia returns home. Where is Willow? This psychological thriller has blackmail, murder and so much more in it.
Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for an early copy of this book by Ellery Kane. Once again the writer has written a story with characters that you don’t know who to trust and enough red herrings to keep up the suspense all the way to the very last page. This review is my honest opinion.

Perfect thriller with lots of twists and turns. The writer has come up with a very good plot line about a missing daughter and what a mother will do to find her

My Missing Daughter is a thriller by Ellery Kane. It was a nail biting story that was made for those seeking an adventure.

Tracy refurbished an old school bus for her daughter Willow and her friend Amelia to take their long-awaited motor trip to Niagara Falls. A few days before their expected arrival home, a strange man arrives at Tracy’s home with the school bus and Willows's keys. He had no idea where the girls were. He was just told to return the bus. A panicked Tracy ran out to the street and opened the door to an empty bus. The inside was in complete disarray, and Willow’s hair clumps were found on the floor.
Where were the girls? Nobody knew. Would she ever see her daughter again? It is a heart-stopping, unputdownable thriller with twists and turns that lead to an incredible ending.

Thank you to the publishers & Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in advance!

It wasn’t the best book I’ve read, but then again it wasn’t the worst book I’ve read, however I thoroughly enjoyed reading it! For me, personally, I love a book with a lot of twists and this book contains just that!

Once again thank you to NetGalley for choosing me to voice my opinions on this book!

This book was a wild ride that just kept me wanting more! A missing child is every mother’’s nightmare, everyone seems to have secrets and things to hide, I loved all the twists and turns.

My first book by Ellery Kane and this one is definitely a doozy.! With a road trip that has so much going wrong and a mother that ends up with a missing daughter; this book definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat as you read. What begins as a road trip (in a converted bus) for two young adults who have just written a book together, ends up becoming a deadly adventure. Multiple plots emerge with a mix of friendships going wrong, murder, theft, dodgy romances, corrupt police and a detective with a massive chip on her shoulder. The book immerses the reader in the world of writing and publicity and also emphasises the role of social media both in book sales and in attempting to solve crimes. Another big question that arises throughout the story is how far a mother would go to help her daughter. This was an engaging story that at times had a bit too much going on, but was still a fun and entertaining read. Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for letting me read an advanced copy in exchange for a review. Due out in Australia on 8th October 2024.

A lot of books usually either have a super good beginning or an amazing end. It's pretty rare for me to find one that has both but this defiantly had such a great beginning and all the way through pace that kept me wanting to keep reading like crazy and it also had an unforgettable ending. A missing daughter won’t disappoint!

A mother's worst nightmare unfolds as her daughter's camping bus arrives home in the dead of night, but she's nowhere to be found. Amidst a raging storm, a stranger reveals he was hired to drive the bus back. Panic sets in as the mother discovers chilling evidence of a struggle inside the vehicle. With her daughter missing and her belongings scattered, she embarks on a desperate search to uncover the truth and bring her home safely.

Almost from the first page I was drawn into this story, it’s well written with a plot full of twists. The story revolves around a mother's desperate search for her missing daughter, and the author weaves a narrative filled with twists, turns, and heart-wrenching emotions. The characters are well-developed, filled with flaws (and not always likeable). Kane's ability to build tension and suspense is excellebt. If you enjoy a thrilling read with a compelling plot, "My Missing Daughter" is definitely worth checking out.

“My Missing Daughter,” by Ellery Kane, is a bit of a wild ride. Two young women go off on an adventure … only one returns home. Toss in unreliable characters, relationships fraying, and social media and you’ve only scratched the surface of this book. This was a roller coaster of a ride but in a really good way. Do you trust the main parent? Do you trust the recollections of the returned daughter? And what is up with the teacher? And why is the trip mirroring the novel the girls were writing - or was only one really writing it and making it come alive? This book took some cases from the national news as inspiration, but sometimes truth is really odd. This was a really fast read for me and it kept me really engaged. Very enjoyable and very twisty.

Was a pretry good suspense book which was hard to put down, definitely did not see that ending though. What a crazy twist at the end.

Enticing, twist filled thriller that will keep you riveted.
Willow, a young aspiring writer, takes off in her mom's renovated bus/camper trip with her best friend Amelia, to travel as she finishes and promotes her new story, on a travel podcast.
But once they drop off the social media grid and stop returning texts and phone messages, Williow's mother becomes convinced something has happened to them. When a driver turns up at her house to drop off the camper/bus he says he was hired to drive home to her, she calls the police in.
The story takes off and the twists and turns start coming.
Willow and her best friend may not be as inseparable as the mothers always thought.
A little over over the top at times with the escalating tensions between the mothers but easy reading with some very well defined moments of nail biting anxiety.
I never saw it coming.
