The book was ok. Towards the end, it became a page turner. The typos really bothered me though.

Disclaimer: I was given an e-copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.
This is an exciting mystery/crime thriller/suspense/sort-of-romance all wrapped together with a tight little bow. Emily is a journalist trying to break into the exciting world of news instead of just writing a column. She gets her wish, but only after a girl she interviewed for her column goes missing. While trying to cope with the tragedy, her marriage is starting to falter, she's not so sure her husband is still the man she fell in love with, and to beat it all, she's getting harassing phone calls at work and home. When the detective assigned to her case turns out to be an old flame, things get really interesting, and Emily's whole life seems to spiral out of control.
This story has everything: journalists, cops, quarreling spouses, old boyfriends, haunted pasts, kidnapping, etc. etc. Once I started reading, I only put it down because my husband yelled at me to go to bed. I kept trying to guess who the bad guy was throughout the story, and I just couldn't settle on one person for too long. The author definitely keeps you guessing until the reveal at the end, and then the explanation is just as crazy as those we hear on the news. I can say, I totally didn't see the Epilogue coming, but it's just fantastic!!
I would definitely recommend this to fans of mysteries, suspense thrillers, crime thrillers, and anybody who just wants to read an awesome story that'll keep you guessing. =)
5 stars (wish I could give more)

I never was able to get into this book. The characters are shallow and there is little character development. I had to drag myself through this book and would definitely recommend this as a sleeping aid, it's seriously not gripping. Too bad I actually paid to read this book, definitely a $3 wasted!

I have worked with Sinead a lot in the past as a PA to Rue Volley. I love working with her, in fact I am considering moving north just to sit in her backyard, drink mimosas or something like that, and let our kids chase creepy crawlies together.
I had no idea what a fabulous, absolutely FABULOUS, author she is in her own right. She asked me if I would like to beta read a Christmas novella for her, I did, and I was blown away.
Then she asked me if I would share this one with my blog readers and I said yeah, if you give me one. :D I didn’t say it like that, really, she offered me a copy, and I accepted.
After reading the first novella from her, I was expecting another romance, I didn’t read the blurb, I just hopped in.
Wow.
Murdering mystery fantasticness.
There is so much going on here with the different characters, the plot, the girls going missing, the issues in Emily’s marriage. It was awesome! I loved her mentor, hated her husband, and thought her boss was kind of cool underneath his rough exterior.
I opened my kindle app and didn’t close it until I had swiped the last page goodbye. I was completely caught up in this, I wanted to know who did it, who was the sick person behind the mutilations? Surely it couldn’t be this person or this person, but it might be this person. Nope, it can’t be them, they have an alibi. Where are going here?
This does not end the way you think (or maybe hope) it will. In fact, there is a little twist at the end that will leave your mouth hanging open saying what? When? How? Dude!
It was a great read! Loved it and it was a great shake up from all of the romance books I have been reading.
Thank you Sinead!
