Publisher's summary

Everything he knows about his wife is called into question when she mysteriously vanishes in a breathtaking novel of suspense by Amazon Charts bestselling author Chad Zunker.

Widower Luke Driskell didn’t expect to fall in love and marry again so quickly. But Ashley and her daughter, Joy, are special—a quality borne out when Ashley rushes into a burning day-care center to save the children. Immediately she’s a social media sensation and hero. Then, just as suddenly, Ashley and Joy disappear into the bitterly cold night.

With no trace of their whereabouts, Luke begins a panicked investigation. Alarmingly, he can find no proof that the woman he loves even exists. Left behind: just a hidden stash of fake IDs. Different names. Different cities. Same haunted face. Now the devastated husband has only questions: Who did he marry? What is she hiding?

Luke’s cross-country pursuit of the truth soon spins into something more dangerous than he imagined. Because Ashley’s secrets run so deep and dark that finding her could threaten all their lives.

Great Story

A true love story with a lot of mysteries and twists. There were times when it almost became too dark. but then there was a twist that gave you hope again.

Very Entertaining

One of the better "reads" in quite some time. Narrator good except for the few times he had to do a girl-child voice. Ending was a little abrupt.

Good ending

Slow to start but then the mystery became engrossing. The characters were quite believable though the situation was a bit strange.

Too obvious

It was very obvious the wife was in witness protection or something similar to it.

Good but slow

Good plot and interesting story overall. My only complaints are that the progression of the story was slow and there were way too many questions being asked by the main character.
