This book didn’t disappoint. I started reading it and could not put it down! Can’t wait to see what else B.A. Paris will come up with. So far the books I have read from this author have been on point! Definitely recommend picking this book up and be prepared to have your nose in the book until you have finished!!

A twisted story of two sisters and the man they both love. Who will win his affection in return? You tell me, after you read this titillating book.
Great storyline. Good group of characters. They meshed well, and their interaction was believable.. I enjoyed this book. Different then I anticipated. But, a good different. Highly recommended.
5 Stars

I received this book as an advanced copy from Netgalley (#Netgalley) and IT IS AMAZING. I recommend having a few hours to read it, as you will not want to put it down. Finn and Ellen have a perfect life together, until her missing sister, Layla comes back after a 12 year disappearance. What does she want and what will she do to get it?

I’ll admit, when I found out this book was about 300 pages, I was a bit skeptical. I’ve found that thrillers I enjoy are usually longer so that more things can be fleshed out, unless it’s a short story, but I digress.

Anyways. My worries came true. The story progressed too quickly. I don’t think I got a true understanding of our narrator Finn or his fiancée Ellen or His missing past girlfriend Layla who, by the way, is Ellen’s sister. Seriously. I was cringing the whole time. Who is okay with that?

Besides the plot and character development being rushed, it seemed to me that the author was trying to be mysterious. The end of nearly every single chapter was some ominous statement, sometimes even put in all caps. Honestly, I just don’t know why the author didn’t put in “DUN DUN DUNNN” because that’s obviously what she was going for. The air of mystery wasn’t coming across as it should have. Instead of peaking my interest and goading me on to read the next page, it came across as unimaginative and boring.

The story could have been much darker than it turned out to be. And the plot twist wasn’t hard to guess. I was hoping there would be a second twist, but alas, there was not. Usually I don’t fully guess mystery/thriller twists, so I was a little disappointed that my supposition was correct. Either way, I’m thankful to NetGalley for giving me an early copy of of this book. I'll always remember it as my first ARC.

This was a fast read, but I found the plot to be a bit circular and the ending unbelievable. I liked the dog a lot though

There are places in this book that I liked a lot, however the biggest part of this story is slow and plodding in spots. There was no real mystery here. It is an enjoyable read with no surprises and kind of sad at the last.

I loved this book. Great suspense and a twist plot that will keep you guessing. Wonderful!! This author is on my must read list.

Ugh. This review is going to be a rough one to get out, and I’m struggling.

For a BA Paris book, its not great. I’ve read Behind Closed Doors, and The Breakdown and lovedddddd both! They were fabulous. And this one just fell short. I had much higher expectations going in. Probably my fault.

That being said, as a psychological thriller I loved it! B.A does a badass job of making you question everything the entire way through! Even when I was sure I had everything figured out I didn’t, and I’m honestly still not entirely sure I do!

As with all of her books, the writing is impeccable, and it’s a quick, easy, and addicting read.

I gave this book 5 stars, because at the end of the day it deserves it. I had initially rated it 4, but can’t find the words to justify that rating. The ending, in and of itself, is worth the 5 stars. It’s unconventional, heartbreaking, and strangely satisfying.

B. A. Paris’s BRING ME BACK has all the building blocks of a good mystery. A girlfriend has been missing for the past twelve years and a boyfriend has moved on in his life. Interesting characters and escalating suspense had me mesmerized so that I couldn’t wait to turn the page and read on. Unfortunately, the ending was a letdown that defied logic. I still enjoyed the book; I just wish the conclusion would have been as compelling as the journey getting there. My thanks to NetGalley for the Advance Reader Copy. #BringMeBack#NetGalley

Enjoyed this book which I found full of psychological twists and turns, however it is not my favourite by this author as I found the ending very suddenly rushed and it all came together far too quickly, however still an enjoyable read that I would recommend.

I read the whole book in one evening. I couldn't put it down. I loved the psychological twists and turns and trying to figure out what was going on and whose head was I in. Did he kill her but not remember it? Is she really back and just messing with him? Is it the neighbor's wife? I will recommend this to others.

This book was romantic and good while also maintaining a creepy dark vibe. I liked the book a lot. I found her to be relatable and down to earth. I enjoyed this book and I will read this author again for sure.

This is the third book that I have read from B. A. Paris. Although it had me turning the pages up until the end, this ended up being my least favorite. Maybe I have read too many books (is that a thing?), but I was able to figure this one out pretty early on.

I will continue to look forward to the books that B.A. Paris will entertain us with in the future.

It was difficult to care about any of the characters in this story, as they were all so thinly-sketched as to be indistinguishable from each other, which rendered their actions and motivations as random and baseless. I did read it quickly, really only to validate that I guessed the ending correctly.

Having read the two previous books by this author, I would have to say, this one is okay, but not my favorite.

Guy is relationship with a much younger woman/girl, she disappears under questionable circumstances. Some time later he gets together with her sister and then the first woman reappears, or does she? The story starts outs pretty strong but then gets rushed to end. While the plot isn't very original, it is a good version and a good use of props.

Thanks to #NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy to review.
#BringMeBack

I highly recommend "Bring me Back" to fans of psychological thrillers and mysteries. The plot moves quickly and keeps the readers interest page after page. With thanks to netgalley.com, the author (B.A. Paris) and the publisher (St Martin's Press) to the advanced copy.

Young couple, Finn and Layla, are returning to England from a ski weekend in France when, at a roadside rest area, Layla disappears. Finn returns from the rest room and she is simply gone. Fast forward twelve years, and odd events bring her sudden disappearance to the forefront of Finn's mind, as he prepares to marry Ellen, Layla's older sister. The early pages of the novel alternate between chapters of "then" and "Now" to fill us in on the relationships Finn has with these women, and how it all starts to unravel. In the ending stages of the book, the chapters are all in the "now" but the narrator changes, letting us into Finn's mind as well as "Layla's" (won't say more, as the crux of the mystery is who has contacted Finn after all these years?). Well crafted and well told, this story leaves you guessing and turning pages to the very end.

I could not stop reading B A Paris’s novel Bring Me Back. Finn McQuaid’s girlfriend disappears on a trip through France. His history of violence and anger make him a prime suspect in her case. Twelve years later Finn is back in England and engaged to the still missing Layla’s sister Ellen. Finn is content with the more reserved Ellen, but soon clues an emails suggest that Layla might still be alive, or someone wants him to think that. Finn’s spotty recollection of the day Layla vanished from his car, her own mysterious past, and friends that seem to have their own secrets, make everyone suspect in the reemergence of Layla. Paris keeps you wondering what happened to Layla. I didn’t Bring Me Back down until the last page.

I had high expectations after reading Behind Closed Doors and the author delivered again! This book had me right from the start. It is an exciting fast read. It goes from past to present in some chapters but it is very easy to follow along. Many twists thrown in to keep you guessing. I simply could not decide if Layla was alive or not. I kept changing my mind! You no doubt will be surprised at the ending. I simply didn't give it 5 stars because I personally was disappointed with the ending. It seemed a bit much and hard to believe. That said, I could not put the book down, I read it in a day, so defiantly worth the read! I enjoyed it!

This is the second book that I've read by this author, and I enjoyed both the last book and this book equally I'd say. I enjoyed the twists and turns of both, and so far I can say that I really like the writing style and flow this author seems to have.
The book follows the story of Finn, who is a man with a short fuse. He is with Layla, his girlfriend, on holiday in France when she disappears never to be found again....or so he thinks. Finn ends up getting engaged to Layla's sister Ellen, and things start happening to suggest Layla is alive. The rest of the story I will keep to myself, but let's just say it's a bit unexpected!
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves a novel with a lot of twists and turns. I was given a copy of this book through Netgalley for my honest review.
