Thank you Netgalley, Bookouture and Willow Rose for the eArc of Find My girl.

This is the 4th instalment from the Detective Billie Ann Wilde series. I have read all the previous books but this also can be read as a standalone as the majority of the plot is the case that Bille Ann Wilde is investigating . I have really enjoyed this series and this book is no exception. The pacing of the writing ebbs and falls fluently giving an overall medium pace, The tension that's created throughout the narrative keeps you engaged and if you are unlucky enough not to be able to read it one sitting, you will be itching to pick it up when you have a spare few minutes,

I also like how Willow Rose builds her characters. They are flawed, human and make iffy decisions which, for me, makes them more likeable. This definitely goes for Billie Ann Wilde, who has to balance being a Mum to teens, her own life choices and her work, The pay off at the end just warrants another book which I really hope materialises so we can see how our Bille Ann Wilde processes with her life.

4.5 stars for Storygraph, 4 stars for other review sites.

This is the 4th book in the Billie Anne Wilde series . I love a book that keeps me guessing and this one certainly did. You can read these books as a standalone , but I would recommend you read the others to get the background of the characters.

Find My Girl (Detective Billie Ann Wilde, Book 4) seemed a bit closer to the psychological thriller genre than the other books in this series, by Willow Rose. It had me on the edge of my seat, unable to put it down until the very end. The ending was not at all what I was expecting. While part of it felt very unexpected and sad, another part felt like a sort of victory for Billie Ann. I'm looking forward to see where the next book brings this dedicated Detective.

A fast paced book from this author with plenty of twists. When a young girl fails to get off the school bus and no has seen her detective Billie Ann is on the case to try and solve it.
This is the first book from this author that I have read and will be now on my to read list.

Detective Billie Ann Wilde is on the case again. This time, a young girl is found dead, and her father seems to be the obvious perpetrator. However, when another body is found after the man's arrest, Billie and her team must find the true unsub. A branding on the bodies seems to be the key to solving the murders. Billie must race against time to stop the killer before another life is lost. It's a great read, and I look forward to seeing what Billie tackles next.

Book four in the Billie Ann Wilde series and a first for me, it's clear to see that Billie Ann is a complex character with a past and although There are glimpses within this book some of the content would have made more sense if it had the added depth of the back story in terms of Nikki Ann's personal circumstances and the characters felt bland to me but the investigative part was all there.

Short sharp chapters, with multiply points of view, in different time lines the length of the chapters meant that the pace and engagement was able to be kept throughout.

An emotive intense read.

Willow Rose is back with the fourth installment in the Detective Billie Ann Wilde crime thriller series.

WOW!!! I have loved the first three books in this series, but this is hands down my favorite! This book was deliciously good. It was hard to put this one down. While this can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading the first three books as they're amazing. In this fourth book in this series, young girls go missing and Billie Ann is racing against time to figure out the why and who behind the disappearances. As the past collides with the present, the clock is ticking and Billie Anne is working to find the next missing girl before it's too late.

Billie Anne is such a fierce woman and detective. She is dedicated to her job, and will stop at nothing to solve her cases. I just love her as a main character. This book had sinister and evil undertones as the plot is delivered in multiple POVs and over dual timelines. I couldn't put this one down, as I had to know how the two timelines related to one another. When the connection was revealed, I gasped out loud and my jaw hung open for a few minutes. This was such a gripping and intense read that had me on the edge of my seat!

I can't recommend this series enough! I need lots more Detective Billie Ann Wilde in the future!

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Another addictive thriller from Willow Rose. Detective Billie Ann Wilde is called in on her day off a girl has gone missing, so begins a race against time. Willow captures the urgency in the part part of the book. Twists and turns are plentyful in this well plotted thriller. Thanks to Bookoutre and Netgalley for this review ARC.

International, multi-million-copy bestseller Willow Rose has written another addictive installment in the heart-racing Detective Billie Ann Wilde series! Billie’s a flawed character with a knack for tackling the tough cases while also handling her own drama. I enjoyed this electrifying thriller full of suspense!

Thank you, Willow Rose author, Bookouture, & netgalley for my copy! All opinions are my own.

I had such high hopes for this book after reading the books in the series so far and it did not disappoint! If you haven’t read this series then it is a must!

This is not for the faint at heart. A child missing, suspect (stepfather) is arrested but then another child goes missing. Every nightmare a parent prays they never have to live through. Though W. Rose takes a roundabout way of getting to a particular point I still enjoyed reading Book 4. Appreciate an author that can make you imagine you're watching a movie instead of reading a book. Everything a suspense/thriller should have, but beware there are some very sensitive topics. oh and the ending .......

A religious cult.
Missing girls.
The clues fly around Billie Ann’s mind but she struggles to see how they fit together.
Author Rose does pretty dark in this book with not only the subject matter but how far she pushes Billie.
The ending finds Billie pretty shattered and I’m curious ti see what happens next.
The only thing Billie has later is her career but even that extols a hefty price.

I’ve discovered that police procedurals are my favorite type of thrillers. I always jump at the chance to discover another series about a detective, especially a female one. Even though I didn’t start this series from the beginning, it was easy enough to jump right in.

Billie Ann is devoted to her job, more than any other part of her life it seems. When girls in her jurisdiction start going missing, she’s determined to find them. When bodies start piling up, with symbols carved into their skin, it brings Billie Ann to a local church, which is so much more than a church.

I easily got lost in this story, and I needed to know how it ended. One part I expected, but the biggest twist at the end definitely surprised me.

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for my ARC of this book.

This book was SO good! It kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish.
Find My Girl is a fun, fast-paced, and chilling thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end. Willow Rose delivers a masterful blend of suspense, mystery, and drama that fans of the genre will love.

Find My Girl (Detective Billie Ann Wilde Book 4)
by Willow Rose
Pub Date: Dec 03 2024

Find My Girl is book 4 in the Detective Billie Ann Wilde series. Although I didn't read the other three books in the series I had no problem reading this as a stand a lone. This book is an emotional thriller about a missing girl, then more girls go missing. The story is told from multiple points of view. It's fast paced, full of action with a great plot full of twists and turns leading to a dramatic ending.

Trigger warnings: kidnapping, cults, divorce, child pornography, poisoning and mass suicide.

Synopsis: Madison was supposed to be on the school bus. But she never made it home…Detective Billie Ann Wilde assesses the couple sitting awkwardly on plastic chairs in her interview room, certain she knows exactly what has happened to little Madison Harris. She was supposed to come home on the school bus, but her cold body was found in local marshlands, and as her mother cries desperately, her stepfather, John, barely looks up. And they found Madison’s blood in John’s car…

Many thanks to #FindMyGirl #NetGalley and #Bookouture for providing me with an E-ARC of this 5 star book!

This is the 4th book in the Detective Billie Ann Wilde series. It’s another gripping, fast paced read from Willow Rose. It’s a book series that will become a favourite for sure. It has a dual storyline switching from then and now which I love in a read to build the back history so it’s like watching the story unfold in your mind. Really well developed characters especially Billie Ann. You get a real feel for her both personally and professionally. This one covers a subject matter that I can’t get enough of and it really added to the story. The storyline moves at a steady pace with short, quick fire chapters that builds the suspense and keeps you hanging and then throws the surprises in when you least expect it. You need to get started on this series.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read and review #FindMyGirl

I enjoyed this action filled plot, never letting up with the action to the end.
Great characters, the plot flowed, awaiting the next book out by this author.
I recommend this book.

International superstar and bestselling author Willow Rose (favorite author) returns with one of my favorite crime series, Detective Billie Anne Wilde, with the fourth installment, FIND MY GIRL.

In this emotional and riveting suspense, young girls go missing and collide with a past/present storyline involving a dangerous cult, revealing secrets of the past. The past is intricately woven into the current plot, adding complexity and mystery to this spine-chilling psychological suspense.

About...

Set in Florida, Detective Billie Anne Wilde is back, desperate, trying to save lives while being torn as her husband has custody of their children, living in her former family home after coming out as gay and her dangerous job.

Now, she is in an apartment trying to survive and strive to get her children back. Her relatable struggles and unwavering determination make her a character you can't help but root for.

She is a dedicated, loyal, and tenacious detective who puts her heart and soul into all her cases. She strives for justice. There are cases to close, leads to follow, and lives to piece together. She is also a great, caring mother and friend, and she experiences struggles on the home front and at work.

When a young girl goes missing in the Florida marshes, all fingers point to the mom's boyfriend. However, when a second girl goes missing while he is in jail, and a body is found, it has a symbol branded on her skin that is the emblem of a church.

Is there something more sinister and evil going on in this secretive, cult-like religious community? Are there monsters hiding in plain sight? Billie Anne will not rest until she finds the monsters killing young girls and every innocent child caught in this twisted web.

These 'monsters' are not just the physical perpetrators but also the dark forces and secrets that lurk within the cult and the community. How many secrets are yet to be unraveled?

My thoughts...

Billie Anne Wilde is a masterful, electrifying, intense series with a highly relatable detective you will root for. FIND MY GIRL is packed with twists and turns and brimming with emotion and heart.

Powerful, poignant, and utterly gripping, featuring a strong-willed female detective and well-developed characters with unforgettable twists

Like the other three books in the series, FIND MY GIRL is a captivating crime thriller that is suspenseful, intense, and deeply emotional. Rose keeps you hooked with heart and skill from the first page until the last— keeping you dying for more.

I adore Detective Bille Anne Wilder and enjoy her gritty personal and professional sides. In the end, your heart will go out to her, and I hope we get more, Billie Anne, as I want her to find happiness and balance in her life.

Rose keeps the suspense high with two gripping storylines, then and now, with multiple POVs. One involves the missing girls and others caught up in a cult (then/now), pulled in, and brainwashed by a leader. Billie Anne's personal and family life comes front and center with her past and present.

With its mysterious and malevolent leader, the dangerous cult adds spine-chilling drama and mystery to the story, keeping readers on the edge of their seats.

Inspiration...

I enjoy how Rose draws inspiration from real crimes and includes these stories and links in her Author's Note. You become invested in these stories. Trust me, you will go down a rabbit hole when researching. FIND MY GIRL was inspired by central Florida's Madeleine Sota case and the Waco Siege, which involved a raid on a religious cult compound near Waco, TX (a 51-day standoff).

I highly recommend the author and this series. As a Floridan, I enjoy books set in my backyard, and I love the author's twisty plot and strong character-driven style.

I have read all the books in the series and anxiously await the next! This series is unputdownable, and all are 5 Stars. Even though FIND MY GIRL can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading them (in order) to better understand Billie Anne and her journey. I'm not sure how the author cranks out this many books a year (plus her other series/books)— very impressive!

I look forward to reading some of her other series and backlist in between new books.

Read my reviews:
~Don't Let Her Go#1 (Jan 2024)
~Then She's Gone #2 (Mar 2024)
~In Her Grave #3 (June 2024)
~Find My Girl #4 (Dec 2024)

Recs...

FIND MY GIRL is a series for fans of the author and those who like smartly written crime thrillers with heart, such as Lisa Unger, Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner, and Christina McDonald.

Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for an advanced reading copy in exchange for an honest review. I can't wait to see what Rose has in store for Wilder fans next.

4.5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️



✨Mystery
✨ Suspense
✨Detective
✨ 4th book - can be standalone




✨ I’m a big fan of willow rose writing, this is a 4th book of the Detective Billie Ann Wilde Book - even though this book can be read as a standalone. But I do recommend to read the first book to understand more better as it contains some flashbacks.


✨‼️ some chapters can be triggering with a child loss so warning .

✨little madison supposed to come home but never made it. To be honest, this hits me home. For someone with a kid always going in the bus it’s an eye opening.
The hurt of the parents can be felt on each chapter.
Fast paced so it’s light for a mystery.

Definitely worth the read with the twisted ending.
Not too strong but atleast it ended with a good plot.



✨ Thankyou @bookouture for the opportunity to read this book for a honest review .
