Kelly Armstrong never disappoints! Her series novels are some of my favorite and I find that I like her stand alone novels just as much - full of suspense, well paced with interesting and dynamic characters and she knows how to tell a great story. Really enjoyed this one.

I received an advanced reader copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Aubrey Finch has spent years running away from her past when she was a computer hacker and a thief. She has a lawyer husband and a beautiful little girl she adores. One day, at the park, she sees another young mother and a little boy. Later that week, she sees the little boy abducted from the playground. When she reports this to the police, no one believes her, so Aubrey decides she needs to call on her rusty skills to find the kidnapped boy. Then she finds out the mother she met on the playground has been murdered. Aubrey gets in over her head with the Russian mafia as she investigates. Not quite as edge-of-the-seat pacing as I expected, but an entertaining read, as always with Kelley Armstrong.

I know this book is listed as a stand alone but I certainly hope this cast of characters comes back to life in another excellent series by Kelley Armstrong. Her stories all have a unique setting and story line. She pulls characters from all segments of life to bring a really good story to the readers. It is not unusual for me to read her books in one day. They are my treat to myself and always enjoyable.
A young woman who is working through problems in her marriage that she feels she has caused also witnesses what she thinks is a child being kidnapped. When she tries to report the crime to the police, they tell her there is no report of a missing child...but she knows what she saw. As she works to clear up this mystery, she finds a much larger story with much scarier consequences.
If you have never read a Kelley Armstrong book, I really feel sorry for you. Start with this one then pick a series and start reading those. I promise, you will love them!

Really enjoyed this. Good characterisation and plot - it does stumble in the middle and slow a lot, but it’s a great read. Definitely will make me look out for more by the author.

The main character in this book is a housewife, mother, librarian, and recently separated from her husband, who has custody of their daughter by mutual agreement. She also has a past life that she has kept secret, a burglar, a computer tech, who can hack her way through most anything. She’s not to be messed with! Great character. The story revolves around her seeing something she shouldn’t have, and being the person she is, she can’t stay out of it, and wow does it escalate at a very rapid pace. You won’t put this down until the end.

Wow! This was one good book! I think I was holding my breath the whole time reading it! I loved the characters and it was just full of suspense. I highly recommend this book. It is quite the page turner.

Kelley Armstrong is a talented writer, so I knew going in on requesting this novel it would be decent. It is a wonderfully creepy and mysterious novel about a missing child. Yet, with Ms. Armstrong there is so much more to the novel than just that one plot point. She layers this story so that you can't stop reading it. Even if you just want to put it down or give up on it. Her knack for creating characters even evil ones that you are interested in is amazing. Wherever She Goes is not quite like anything of her's I read before. The narrator is not always likable, but you want to believe her. It is a wild ride.
Thank you so much to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for allowing me to read this book.

Kelly Armstrong always writes about strong women. I guess that's why I was thrown off in the first of this book. Overall it was a really good book. A little boy is kidnapped and know one believes you. A mothers worst nightmare even if that child is not yours.There was a slow build up to me but Aubrey is not just a shy, awkward librarian and when the action starts it is non stop until the end. I don't know if this is a new series or not but if it is I will be reading the next one

I really wanted to love this book but I just could not connect with it or the main character. It did have some interesting twists and turns but I struggled to find it realistic. While it is a quick and easy read, I had issues with the over-usage of the word thug and that became a distraction for me. The main character was not likable and definitely came off a little crazy. And other characters in the book were "bad guys" or rather, "thugs" but then they weren't but then they were again....it was confusing.

This is my first book to read by this author and I would definitely give other books by her a try. Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this copy.

Aubrey Finch is somewhat starting over, again. She has recently separated from her husband Paul, a defense attorney and determined to make it on her own. Previously a stay at home mom in a nice home, in a nice neighborhood, she now lives in an apartment (with less than adequate security) and works at a library. She only has their daughter Charlotte on weekends, Paul remains the custodial parent in their mutual agreement.

When Aubrey is out for a run at the park, she witnesses a boy get into a car and shortly after, scream for his mom. A mom she had spoken to days earlier. She does what she can to try and catch the SUV (on foot) or at least snap a photo, but to no avail. She quickly calls the police and that is when things go south.

The police don't believe there is a case. No mother in their right mind wouldn't report their child missing immediately, and they haven't gotten any reports of a missing child. Aubrey must have misunderstood the situation. She feels the police don't see her as the most competent individual. What mother doesn't have primary custody of their child?

Aubrey knows what it's like for a child to need help, and no one to rescue them. No one to stop and help. She can't just forget about that boy and starts investigating. Her investigation though, puts her on the radar of some dangerous individuals....

I really did enjoy this book. It was a good story and had a pretty fast pace. The first half of the book though, Aubrey just seems really flighty and incompetent. Insecure and unsure of any decision she makes. Then all of a sudden, a switch is flipped and she's like a completely different character. There were no real breaks and the book isn't broken into chapters. I think this helped me read faster, for sure. But it also means a lot of events just kind of ran into each other. I wouldn't exactly call this a twisty thriller, as their are not many twists and what is there is not difficult to unravel. All in all though, it's a good story. I would not be surprised if this was turned into a series. Aubrey just seems like a character with a bigger story.

I am a huge fan of this author so I hate to say I didn't like this book as much as her other work. It had great characters and an interesting plot. The pacing is a bit slow through the middle of the story. It picks back up with several surprising twists. I really enjoyed the ending as it felt realistic instead of a cookie cutter HEA. The book is a good read

I was very excited to be able to read this not only because it sounded very interesting but also because I am a long time fan of Kelley Armstrong's work, so to say I had high expectations of her latest book would be an understatement. The best part is as high as my expectations were this book did not disappoint. The book starts out with our main character (Aubrey) watching her daughter play at a local park. That is when she notices a young boy getting kidnapped, pulled into a dark car and taken away. She tries her best to follow the car but can't seem to find it, so she takes the next step she reports it to the police. Now this is when this book starts to really take off, no one has reported a kidnapping and all children are accounted for. However if that is the case then who was it that Aubrey saw get pulled into the car? Things go from bad to worse for poor Aubrey when her estranged husband thinks that she is projecting her fears about their daughter onto this fantasy kidnapping and the police and no one she knows believes her. But she knows what she saw, or does she? I loved the characters in the story all were very well written and I loved the determination and strength behind Aubrey's character. This book was fantastic and I highly suggest it for not just fans of Kelly Armstrong but all thriller
fans out there. Once you start this book you will want to unplug from life and any distractions that stand between you and the ending. This one will go up there with the greats like "Gone Girl" and "The Girl on the Train".

“Few crimes are reported as quickly as a snatched kid.”

That’s what the officer tells single mother Aubrey Finch after she reports a kidnapping. So why hasn’t anyone reported the little boy missing? Aubrey knows what she saw: a boy being taken against his will from the park. It doesn’t matter that the mother can’t be found. It doesn’t matter if no one reported it. Aubrey knows he’s missing.

Instead, people question her sanity. Aubrey hears the whispers. She’s a former stay-at-home mom who doesn’t have primary custody of her daughter, so there must be something wrong with her, right? Others may not understand her decision to walk away from her safe life at home, but years of hiding her past – even from the people she loves – were taking their toll, and Aubrey knows she can’t be the mother or wife she envisions until she learns to leave her secrets behind.

When the police refuse to believe her, she realizes that rescuing the boy is up to her alone. But after all the secrets, how far is she willing to go? Even to protect a child.

I believe the book was just slow. It did not hold my attention as a solid read. The book seemed to be unbelievable. Never mind she left fingerprints everywhere and was a gunslinger.

This was quite the thrilling ride! Nearly impossible to put down once I started, this novel had many twists and turns I was not expecting. It was very intriguing and an action-packed thriller. I throughly enjoyed the adventure that poor Aubrey went on, trying to find the missing boy while also dealing with her own family. Highly recommend this book!

When Aubrey Finch sees a young boy get kidnapped at the park, she assumes that the police will do everything they can to reunite him with his mother but instead the police don't believe her. Aubrey's strange habits and questionable choices paint the picture of an unstable woman seeking attention. Aubrey was once a suburbanite stay at home mom with a lawyer husband...but she gave it all away including her parental rights. What they don't know is that Aubrey isn't really who they think she is, in fact she may be the only person who can find this missing boy...but her involvement might just cost her everything she has left.

Wherever She Goes, is the exciting new suspense mystery novel by author Kelly Armstrong. This novel offers an interesting twist on the unreliable witness trope. In this story, we discover that the main protagonist has a secret past, one which she kept hidden from her family, which resulted in her current circumstances. She finds herself torn between doing what's right, using her illegal talents to save a missing boy, and potentially losing her daughter in the process. I found this book really interesting because, as the reader, we get to see both sides of Aubrey's life both from the outside looking in and the inside looking out. This intriguing mystery was the perfect afternoon read to curl up with.

I enjoyed this book from the beginning. About 3/4 of the way through, I thought it got a little confusing and lost me a little but I did enjoy the ending and kept me guessing throughout the entire book! Thank you!

Absolutely loved this domestic thriller! Excellent character development, exciting dialogue and fascinating plot. What more can you ask for?
Highly recommended.

I couldn't get into this book a d didnt enjoy it as I thought I would.

It just felt weak to me where I wanted something hard hitting with lots of characters

4.5/5 stars

I love everything that Kelley Armstrong writes. This is a psychological thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book!

Kelley Armstrong is one of my favorite authors and is my most read author. I absolutely adore everything that she writes. I was beyond thrilled to be able to read her newest book.

The narrator is 30 year old Aubrey/Bree. This story takes place in Chicago and the suburbs of Chicago.

This book had a chilling beginning. And I was hooked right from the start. Bree is separated from her husband Paul, who is a defense attorney. They have a 3 year old daughter. Bree has a lot of secrets to do with her past.

Right from the start I was dying to know what Aubrey's secrets were. And I was not disappointed. I loved finding out things about her past.

This book had a bit of a creepy vibe. Aubrey witnesses something at the park. And she has to decide what to do about it.

I was so invested in this story. Aubrey is a very unique narrator. She is strong and determined. But she also often acts without thinking things through. She was really unusual. But I really enjoyed reading about her.

The story has a mystery about a woman and her son. It is dangerous and the mystery was so interesting that I was completely engrossed in the story.

This book was unsettling. I loved seeing Aubrey play detective. This book was riveting.

I really enjoyed everything to do with her husband Paul. And I thought that the book definitely took a somewhat unexpected turn where their relationship was concerned.

I am such a big Kelley Armstrong fan. This was one of my most anticipated reads of the year.

This book had everything that I want. It had an intriguing mystery. It had romance. It was a chilling psychological thriller. This book was different in many ways from the author's other books. Although she writes so many different types of books and genres. This was a great read!

What a great thriller! This is the first novel by Kelley Armstrong that I’ve read and I loved it! My only complaint is that I read way too late into the night because I HAD to know what was next. I look forward to future novels by this author A+++
