Wow. Just wow. What a story. This reminded me heavily of The Lovely Bones. The stories bore some similarities. I liked how the book was referenced in the story (pay attention or you’ll miss it).

The story moved along well. I personally had the plot figured out mid book but then again I watch hours and hours of criminal programs so I’m kind of an armchair expert haha.

I enjoyed the fact it jumped from perspective. It gave personality to the story.

The loss of a child. Unanswered questions. A runaway? Murder? Kidnapping? Hope. Heartbreak. Betrayal. Guilt. This story has a plethora of emotions. Definitely a must read.

Nice heart warming story
Romantic comedies are not my usual read but I felt like a change. And I'm very glad I gave it a try, it was a very easy read as it was full of good scene setting description character build ups and an interesting back story too. Well worth the read, even if you're not a romcom reader.

The story is about Katy who is a wedding photographer with her own business who was left struggling after a family betrayal. Katy learns to trust and eventually love again. There are ups and downs that keep you glued to the book from beginning to end!

This book was framed very oddly in the way you jumped into the story without any background. This makes roughly half of the book difficult to follow. Once the character and situational background is revealed piece by piece you begin to understand the story. I get that I only truly understood the book over the course of the last chapter.

The story follows a female magician as she tries to find her way in the Unseen World. Along the way she encounters murder, manipulation and betrayal. Will she be able to escape her painful past? Will she survive the challenges ahead of her? Where does she belong?
