When two young girls go missing, Karen Hart is determined to find them. 

While the story is a good idea, it did take a bit to get into. The Domestic Violence survived wasn’t vital to the plot and felt that  it was more just a way for the author to show Karen as being important and a saviour to others. 

For me Karen was a bit too much of a pick me not like other girls vibe. 

The Fall by Louise Jensen is an interesting and twisty tale of family secrets following two 40 year old twins and their daughters. 

When Caily ends up in the ICU following a fall from a bridge, her family are torn apart by secrets and lies. While there is worry that Caily may never be the same again, they really should be wondering if the family will be the same again. 

I honestly enjoyed this book although at times the plot was too convenient and unrealistic. However the twists were unexpected and there was an ending that you would never expect. 

To me this was a mystery that reminded me of sitting in front of the tell watching a low stakes crime show or thriller on ITV. This is something I love and would generally be a 5 star read but I couldn’t bring myself to rate it so highly when there were no consequences for some of the characters and there were still plot holes that weren’t really tied up properly or where just conveniently resolved with no consequences.

**I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. My review is made freely and is solely my opinion.

Amy is home for Christmas and as much as she wants to ignore Ty’s new relationship, she needs him. 

While more mature, this story is still young and sad, while being an easy and quick read. Amy and Ty are book trying to grow up and move on from their previous relationship in order to be friends. It’s not easy but the story shows how they still have to work together despite the difficulties and awkwardness.

Margot returns home to the small town where her best friend’s murder still haunts everyone, just as another little girl goes missing. 

While this story is very similar to a true crime case, it is engaging and heart racing. In some ways it is very biased if you think of it as being based on the JonBenet Ramsey case but only if you think of it that way. I loved this book but the ending felt rushed and I didn’t really care about the main character until the last 20% of the book. The dual timelines were interesting and show the parallels of the story well. 

For me the ending was too ambiguous and didn’t make it clear if it was the end or if more could come of it later.
