My thoughts
Again Stacy Green has delivered another edge of your seat thriller. Number seven in the Nikki Hunt series and it definitely starts out with a literal bang.
Two little girls go missing from a fireworks show on the river in this dynamic keep you guessing thriller. The older one suffers from type one diabetes. She's a smart young girl who looks after her sister always. Having diabetes has made her have to grow up a little fast but she's still a child. What follows in the pages of this book will make you angry. Make you want to tear out someone's heart. Hurt them as much as they are hurting you while you wonder what is happening to these two girls.
Stacy Green has a way of writing that pulls you in and pulls at your heart at the same time. You will be guessing at who did this and wondering why. What makes a person so evil as to take a child. To do horrible things to children has to be the ultimate sin. They don't stand a chance against the grownups of this world. The ones with the mentality to hurt a little child. This one tells a bit about a cult organization also. A supposed religious cult who believe it's ok to have many wives. As a matter of fact the more wives and children you have the better place you'll have in their heaven. They are a bit on the sick side in my opinion. Girls as young as twelve years old are forced into marriages to men old enough to be their fathers or grandfathers. To start making babies early. Again, the more babies the higher you go in heaven. Like does this heaven have a ranking? Good grief...
Told mainly from Nikki's POV this story takes you through what all is done when a child is abducted. When a total stranger gets a child and vanishes. The pain the parents feel. The helplessness that everyone feels. How a community tends to pull together to help. There are many secrets being held by all involved. The dad and the mother. Things they don't want to share but will have to if they want to save these little girls in time. A babysitter/nanny with even more secrets. You won't be able to figure out who did this either.
I liked all of the characters in this book. Each played a vital roll in finding these children. There are some things that come out that make it even more interesting but does not in the least take away from the story. It's a true heartfelt story of love and loss of children. Babies taken before their time. Lives cut short in a way that is unimaginable. I shed a few tears reading this book.
I love the way it was all wrapped up at the end also. I'm happy that Nikki has her family. Her life. Her daughter and Rory by her side. I'm also so glad there will be another books. Look out for the eight book in this series. It will be another good one I'm sure....
Thank you #NetGalley, #StacyGreen, #Bookouture for this ARC. This is my own true thoughts about this book.
Five huge stars again.
