I’m sooooo excited to bring you my latest book review this gorgeous Saturday! It’s called Missing and by one of my favourite authors K.L. Slater! You may remember my review of her explosive novel The Marriage that I wrote last year. I get many views each day of people searching how that one ends. But I don’t write spoliers I’m afraid. You have to read and find out the way ot sends yourself!

Now the Missing is just as tense, spine-tingling and chilling as her other books. It’s one for sure you NEED to add to your reading list. Read on for my full review:

Book Description

I’ve known him all my life. I know he has taken my daughter. His mother says she can help me. But she’s the last person I can trust…

Samuel lived next door when we were children. We were inseparable. But he didn’t like sharing me with my adored little brother. And one terrible night, he got rid of my brother forever…

Now, years later, he’s free. And my daughter is missing.

I turn on my baby girl’s unicorn nightlight and bury my face in her pillow, my heart breaking. I know Samuel has her – he blames me for ruining his life, and even after all this time, he still doesn’t like to share.

As darkness falls, there’s a knock at my door and I open it to see Samuel’s mother. She says she can help me.

I know I can’t trust her, but I don’t have a choice. With each step I take, my fear grows stronger. Can she help me find my daughter? Or does she know something about what really happened all those years ago? Something that could stop me from saving my baby girl…

What I Thought

Missing starts off back in 1993, where 8 year old Jimmy is running, scared of someone chasing him. He ends up being locked in an old fridge by Samual next door, inside a disused factory where he suffocates to death. It was a very tense opening for sure, I was hooked straight away!

Years later Jimmy’s older sister Josie is scared. Her 8 year old daughter Ivy has gone missing. Guess who has recently been released from prison and is back for revenge. Yes, you guessed it, Samual.

Full of unexpected twists and turns, you are drawn into Josie’s life and how intimidated she feels by Samual’s presence. It’s a completely believable story and that makes it even more frightening!

K.L.Slater has not let us down with this one. A highly recommended read, one you won’t be able to put down!
