's review

it was amazing

Protect her

That was the last communication Hannah received from her husband, Owen, before he disappeared. The note was delivered by a 12 year old stranger. Hannah knew that Bailey, Owen's 16 year old daughter, was the person she was supposed to protect. But how? From what?

Told in present day, with periodic flashbacks, we follow Hannah and Bailey on their quest to find the truth. As secrets are uncovered, Hannah questions if she really knew Owen at all.

This is a gripping story from the beginning and it never let's up. The pages fly by until the very end. I didn't want to put it down.

I found this to be a thrilling mystery as well as an emotional story. I enjoyed the relationship between Hannah and her step daughter. I can't wait to read more by Laura Dave!

Thank you Simon & Schuster and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
