You whispered goodnight to your daughter. You didn’t know that would be your last goodbye.
You wake up in the middle of the night.
Your five-year-old daughter is gone.
Your husband is nowhere to be seen.
Your family think he took her.
The police believe he’s guilty.
But he wouldn’t do that, would he?
He’s a loving father. A loving husband. Isn’t he?

This book is about a mother, Anna, who will do anything to get her five year old daughter back. I really liked how the author portrayed Anna. All this mother wanted was to get her daughter back and would stop at nothing to do this. In the end she had to be brave and face her demons of the past to do this.
I also liked that there were so many twists and turns throughout the whole book. You never knew what surprise was coming next. This book had me guessing up til the end.
I thought I had it figured out but boy was I wrong, and I'm glad I was. Great book!
Recommend Reading!

Thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

Counter Punch is a really short story to me. What you do if you were a mother and something happened to your daughter. How much would you do to protect your daughter? Well this story kind put that mother and daughter relationship to the test.

We also learn that Mo is struggling with not only the loss of her dad but on top of that we get hear about an assault on Mo. Her mother is worried and knows something is wrong when her daughter do not come home after 3 hours of waiting.

We are some what left in the dark as to who exactly attacked Mo? How it ends you will be surpised to no end. It leaves you wondering did Mo's mother help or did she kill the wrong man? The cops seem to have hunch but is it right?

The author does have us hang on to find out what happens next. I would suggest this book for children at least be ages 15 and up. Though I am only suggesting that and it is really up to the parents of the child or children. They can decide for themselves. This book has death and crime and like I said an assault.

Mmmmm.... Napping
My daughter wanted to watch this. Ten minutes in, she left the room and did not return. I went to sleep. I think that's what this movie was made for. Thumb up.

[Reader] the first installment of the [Daughter of Time] series by [Erec Stebbins] had a really great concept. The writing just needed a little more organization. I enjoyed it but it was like looking into an person with ADHD's mind at times.

I was unsure about the cast at first because I only see her as Don Draper's daughter, however, I felt like she as a good fit as Sabrina by the end of the season. Hope they make another season!

No sense of progression
The minute to minute game play is fun, but because all tracks and racers are unlocked from the beginning there is no sense of progression. Even my 9 year old daughter got bored with it after about a week.

Full of Charm
This book is just full of tenderness and charm. I read it to my daughter at bedtime and ended up watery eyed myself. It's absolutely lovely and recommend for any child, especially ones that love animals
