Story
Valerie has been forgetting things. Her daughter worries about her being on her own in her big Victorian house—one rumored to be haunted after a tragedy decades earlier—and truth be told, she is a little lonely. With few options, she asks her adult son to move home, but it’s not quite the reunion she hoped for. Hudson is taciturn, moody, and frequently gone. The neighbors already hold a grudge against Hudson, and they aren’t happy about his return. When a young woman is found murdered a block away, suspicion falls on him immediately, without a shred of evidence.

UrbanMyth: It was lauded as an alternative to the performative, show-your-best-self platforms—an anonymous discussion board grouped by zip code. The residents of Manhattan’s exclusive Upper East Side disclosed it all, things they would never share with their friends or their spouses: secret bank accounts, steamy affairs, tidbits of juicy gossip. So when a “hacktivist” group breaks into the forum and exposes the real identity of each poster, the repercussions echo down Park Avenue with a force that none could have anticipated.

One year ago, Isabelle Drake's life changed forever: her toddler son, Mason, was taken out of his crib in the middle of the night while she and her husband were asleep in the next room. With little evidence and few leads for the police to chase, the case quickly went cold. However, Isabelle cannot rest until Mason is returned to her—literally. Except for the occasional catnap or small blackout where she loses track of time, she hasn’t slept in a year. Isabelle's entire existence now revolves around finding him, but she knows she can’t go on this way forever.

Publisher's summary
"In this high-tension domestic drama, nothing is as it seems. Don’t look away, you won’t want to miss a thing!” (J.T. Ellison, USA Today best-selling author of Her Dark Lies)
"Garza establishes herself once again as a master of domestic suspense...a pitch-perfect thriller.” (Mindy Mejia, best-selling author of Everything You Want Me to Be)
From the author of When I Was You comes a spine-tingling new thriller about a mother’s worst nightmare come true, when her teenage daughter goes to a sleepover and doesn’t come back.
Whitney had some misgivings when she dropped her increasingly moody teenage daughter, Amelia, off at Lauren’s house. She’d never met the parents, and usually she’d go in, but Amelia clearly wasn’t going to let something so humiliating happen, so instead Whitney waved to her daughter before pulling away from the little house with the roses in front.
But when she goes back the next day, an elderly couple answers the door - Amelia and Lauren aren’t there, and this couple swears they never were, that she’s at the wrong house. As Whitney searches for Amelia, she uncovers a trail of lies her daughter has told her - from the Finsta account to rumors of a secret relationship. Does she really even know this girl she’s raised? And Amelia’s not the only one with secrets. Could Whitney’s own demons have something to do with her daughter’s disappearance, and can Whitney find her before it’s too late?

Kept me guessing!!
I really enjoyed this book! The narrator was perfect and the story kept me guessing what was next. I loved the woven little details that made me question things over and over again. I could use a part 2 to know the rest of the story! I’m invested. What happens NOW. I would definitely say it’s worth the credit!

Parenting: The Good, The Bad and the Scary
This is a journey of parental exploration. First I thought, “wow, this mom is a gullible pushover”. Then I thought, wow, I’m a gullible pushover. Next, “ok, this mom is a stage 3 clinger”. Then I remembered I have also been a clinger. Finally, I thought… “whoa… wow… holy 💨 ….” well, never-mind, I’m not gonna spoil it for you.
This one is thinker. I have a 16 year old daughter, and teenage girls are basically temporary sociopaths, so the first half was extremely relatable for me. I also can’t imagine being single and trying to date with my 16 year old daughter in the house. There are a lot of perverts out there, so you just never know. Obviously, this wouldn’t be in the thriller section if it didn’t go off the rails at some point, but it took a long time getting there.
For the narration…. I just love Vivienne Leheny, but she is feeling really type-cast right now. She’s playing the same boring role over and over, and I don’t know if it’s 💯 doing her justice. She has the most beautiful voice, perfectly suited for dry sarcasm and just a little something extra that these characters don’t bring. I would love to hear her in something a little less “basic mom” and something a little more ball buster before the past few chapters of a book.

That was UNEXPECTED!!
I liked this story! Very suspenseful. The ending was not what I expected at all and I’m generally good at guessing!
Dislikes: Not a fan of the narrator as I felt she struggled with playing the different characters. All sounded too similar. The story was also a bit hard to follow if you missed one word so I found myself having to rewind regularly to confirm where the story was taking place.
Overall good read and love when I don’t guess the ending!!

Frustrating main character, unexpected spin at the end.
While I didn’t guess the ending (a positive attribute), the main character frustrated me with her whining, over-protectiveness of her 16 year old. How many times did I think to myself, ‘She’s Nuts!!” With half of the book left and effectively “running away” too, I skipped to the final 20 minutes hoping for some firm conclusion or resolution…… It will be very interesting to read other reader reviews on this book.

Not good
This is not a good story. The plot and the mother's actions are not believable. The ending is stupid. It is not worth the time or money, unless they offer it for free in the catalog. There are so many other great books to choose from.

Story
Valerie has been forgetting things. Her daughter worries about her being on her own in her big Victorian house—one rumored to be haunted after a tragedy decades earlier—and truth be told, she is a little lonely. With few options, she asks her adult son to move home, but it’s not quite the reunion she hoped for. Hudson is taciturn, moody, and frequently gone. The neighbors already hold a grudge against Hudson, and they aren’t happy about his return. When a young woman is found murdered a block away, suspicion falls on him immediately, without a shred of evidence.

It’s a cruel mistake; her son left for college a year ago, and Kelly’s never felt so alone. The receptionist quickly apologizes: There’s another mother in town named Kelly Medina, and she must have gotten their numbers switched. For days, Kelly can’t stop thinking about the woman who shares her name. Lives in her same town. Has a son she can still hold, and her whole life ahead of her. She can’t help looking for her.
