What an amazing book! A very scary subject since I offer to take care of my friends kids all the time...Ill definitely be more vary now!

A fab read which I really enjoyed!

I was gripped by this story from start to finish

Thank you for the opertunity to review

A top notch psychological thriller, Now You See Her is a fast paced, intriguing, gripping read.
I read this in a day as I simply couldn't put it down. It is very well written and full of twists and turns. Highly recommended!

Oh wow what a storyline, 4 stars. I told my friend I didn't like the story, child abduction, however.... I couldn't put the book down. Half way through and I loved it, I was caught up in all the emotion, who, when, why and how. The twists and turns kept me guessing throughout and at the end I could not stop reading until I had finished. I stayed up late, frantically turning the pages. Great book, great story with emotion and concern for the characters.

I started to read the book with high hopes because it was really promising and people liked it. On the other hand, I found it very slow in the beginning so I stopped reading for now. Maybe it will be faster and there will be some twist in it.

Everyone’s worst nightmare- losing a child. This book had me on the edge of my seat. Charlotte and Harriet are best friends- and Charlotte seems the perfect choice for Harriet to finally leave her four year old daughter Alice with. Charlotte takes her to the school Fayre but Alice goes missing and has seemingly disappeared without a trace. The impact on Charlotte and Harriet’s friendship and the communities views of Charlotte felt so real. This left me with a pit of anxiety in my stomach until I finished the book. Excellent writing.

I could not put this down from the moment I started it ...it was impossible.
Reading the blurb you think that this is going to be a simple case of a missing child...it’s not.
Twists and turns thoroughly held my attention and kept me hooked.
Brilliant.

How far would you go to save your child? Charlotte has no problem with looking after her friend Harriet's daughter what could go wrong. Everything was going well the children were enjoying the fete that is until one of them goes missing. Charlotte has looked everywhere Alice and there is no choice but to call the police. Harriet knew that she shouldn't have left Alice but she needed to get away and now she has to face the fact that she might never see her again. But who took the little girl will the police be able to find her before it is too late? Things are not what they seem as Harriet is hiding a secret that could destroy everything and she has no choice but to pretend that everything is okay when she is dying inside. Charlotte has tried to help but no one wants her around their children will she ever recover from this? When the truth comes out will she be able to forgive and understand? A gripping read. It makes you wonder what would you do to save yourself? Never forget that a mother would fight with everything that she has to protect her child. Harriet surprised me as she always seemed like a little mouse but she was actually a tiger waiting for the right moment. I was lucky enough to receive a copy via Netgalley and the publishing house in exchange for my honest review.

This is the first Heidi Perks book I've read and I loved it. Looking forward to reading more from this author. A gripping read with a brilliant twist that I wasn't even close to guessing. A great thriller that you'll not want to put down.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for a copy of this ebook in exchange for my honest review.

I could not put this down.. A terrible thing happens, a child missing, a distraught mother, an upset firend who was the babysitter at the time, and yet through all the pages, you just know something is going on, but what!!!

Utterly chilling. Makes me wary of taking other people's kids to the park!
A compelling read that haunted my dreams!! 4.5*

This is one of those books you can't put down where everyone is hiding something, Heidi writes with an instinctive knowledge of how to keep the reader enthralled and dissects her characters along the way until you see them clearly.

I read this in one sitting and paid the consequences in work the following day! Loved it!

This book had me gripped from the very first page. I was on a bit of a reading slum and couldn’t find anything to read and get my attention. However, this book did the job! This book is told from two different perspectives, Charlotte and Harriet, who are best friends, and told from before and after!
Harriet has never left her daughter, Alice, with anyone else before. She is now 4 years’ old and Harriet wants to go back to work. She attends a book keeping course and Charlotte, her best and only friend looks after Alice for her.
Charlotte’s worst nightmare happens whilst Alice is in her care. Alice goes missing! The novel explores many different themes; domestic abuse, betrayal of friendship; divorce; death and it is not an easy read in some parts! This book was gripping from start to finish and only took me a day to read as I was that drawn into it. I felt that the “after” chapter could have given a bit more information to the reader, as I still had questions! But overall, I thought this was a fantastic read.

8/10

A fast paced and very intriguing thriller about a missing child and the rift it creates between two close friends.

A little girl disappears from a school fair, and the woman who was looking after the girl gets blamed for the disappearance. The parents are distraught, and things become to unravel very quickly.
This book was a definite page turner and and enjoyable to read, with several twists, but because of these very difficult to review without giving anything away. Suffice to say that this is a psychological thriller and deals with a range of things, amongst others domestic violence and psychological manipulation, and the lengths we would go to to protect the ones we love. It has everything a book of this kind has - suspense, good story and various twists. My one criticism is that the three main characters have too similar backstories and all are damaged, albeit in different ways. This seemed a bit too contrived. Aside from that definitely a book that you want to get back to to find out what happened.

Great story about a little girl, Alice, going missing whilst being cared for by her mother's best friend. As the story evolves, you really get to feel for the different emotions being felt by the characters - the grief of her parents and the guilt of Charlotte, the friend caring for her when she disappeared. However as the story evolves little snippets come out and we see that nothing is as straight forward as it first looks.

This is a story of two women’s friendship, the trust between them and the lack of confidences shared between them. Charlotte is confident, divorced, and the mother of three young children who tells her best friend Harriet everything. Harriet is quiet, withdrawn, reserved and married to Brian, with a 4 year old daughter Alice, who she dotes on. The book begins with Harriet leaving Alice with Charlotte for the first time. Charlotte is taking the four children to a school fete for the afternoon and whilst playing there Alice disappears. Then the nightmare begins for Charlotte and Harriet. Harriet’s childhood history is revealed and also the problems in her marriage and it becomes evident that her and Brian both have secrets. The story is told from alternate points of view and set in time both before Alice’s disappearance and after. This is a book with plenty of twists and turns, secrets, deceit and lies and one that you will not be able to put down. A recommended read.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

This book has everything, tension, a fast paced story line.
I read this in one sitting, I couldn't put it down.
I look forward to the next book by Heidi Perks

Thanks to Net Galley and Random House UK for an ARC of this book in exchange for a review.
This is a fast paced read and will definitely keep the readers attention, lots of surprises.
Charlotte has been asked by her friend Harriet to keep her daughter Alice for the day, while she attends a course, she has never entrusted Alice with anyone before now. Charlotte is taking Alice, along with her own three children to the school fete, one minute Alice is there and the next minute she is gone. Charlotte had literally only taken her eyes off the children for a few minutes, how could this have happened.
The search for Alice commences, the police are called, Harriet and her husband Brian are informed.
In the days that Alice is missing Charlotte blames herself, feels ostracised by the other school mums who suddenly don’t trust her, she meets with Harriet who can hardly look at her friend.
The story is told by Harriet and Charlotte in a before and after style and there are a few secrets revealed and twists and turns to the story.
The story is about the disappearance of Alice but it’s also about the loss of friendship and trust between the two woman. Well deserving 4 stars.

This was a new author for me and I found "Now You See Her" to be a great introduction to this particular writers work.
It was a fast-paced read; managing to keep me on my toes throughout.
Full of twists and turns this did a great job of retaining and investing my attention.
The story itself revolves around friends Harriet and Charlotte and the fallout that results when the unimaginable happens.
Charlotte at a school fete manages to lose Harriets daughter; one-minute shes there, the next vanished into thin air.
How can their friendship survive this tragic strain and has the whole world looks on in horror Charlotte's perfect life starts to unravel as friends and strangers start to point the finger and judge.
Crucifying her as a mother and friend.
Meanwhile, Harriets fighting her own personal demons and with buried secrets ready to reveal all there's much more going on here than originally meets the eye.
So this was a great book that really kept my interest.
Its told in dual POV; Harriet and Charlottes and did an excellent job of portraying these flawed imperfect characters.
I loved that both friends were far from faultless; each not truly showing all of themselves but still acting so clueless as to how actual real they were both outwardly behaving.
I also enjoyed seeing the glimpse into the mommy mates playground dynamics showcased here, actually so typical of most school hierarchy's, shallow and superficial all the way.
It's no wonder Charlotte as an individual altered so much through this as she slowly has her eyes opened to her friend's fakeness.
Not even one apology amongst them for shunning and abandoning their so-called friend in her time of need.
The only exception to this was her friend Audrey, she was a rock, I think we could all do with an Audrey in our lives.
Harriet, as I mentioned earlier, has her own battles to fight and without going into to detail these slowly start to unfold as we venture further into proceedings.
There is a lot of back and forth as we are taken back in time to the events as they occurred as both friends are questioned extensively by the authorities.
And though this was somewhat predictable in places with no great surprises that I hadn't managed to guess for myself I still enjoyed myself here immensely.
This was at its heart a psychological thriller but for me, it was also was a story about friendship and loss.
This one gets a yay from me.
Thank you to the Publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of "Now You See Her" of which I have reviewed voluntary.
