Review:
Lapena did an amazing job
on this novel. This one caught my attention from the start, how could it not?
From the very first chapter with the baby missing, you have to read to the end
to find out what happened. The twist and turns of throughout keeps the reader
on their toes. There is so much love, betrayal, and lies, what is not to love?
This pager turner is one that everyone should pick up and read. Whether or not
you are a parent, you can just feel the fear that Anne has about her missing
child. It defiantly draws the reader in.
