Molly disappeared after a solo trip to visit her son. Years ago she accidentally ran over her youngest daughter and all her living children seem to hate her now. Did she finally decide to run away or did something sinister happen? Why leave a dicey, cryptic note and her car? Hastings holds too many secrets...


This is by far my favorite Wendy Walker book. I thought she couldn't do better than The Night Before but I was so wrong. This book had it all: plot, characters and flow. Kept me guessing until the very end. Her stories are so unique and thrilling while adding in very real human emotions. She showed bits and pieces of grief stages in each family member. This created so much more depth in the characters than I anticipated.

Molly Clarke is tired. Tired of the hateful looks and words of her children. Tired of the emotional and physical distance of her husband. She already blames herself and questions her actions that took place on the worst day of her life. The day that changed everything. It's these feelings that make her want to disappear, after all, no one in her family would miss her, right?
While driving in a terrible storm, Molly makes her dream of disappearing come true, but leaving the life you once had and would do anything to have back to start a new life isn't that simple.

This story was so good. Chock full of twists and turns, while exploring different aspects of motherhood and what that looks like to different people. I highly recommend this quick and easy read.

I have so many books that I'm reading or in the process of reading or waiting to read that I occasionally will pick one up and just sort of skim through the beginning. Read the first few pages, just to get excited for when I finally get to read it. Every now and then I'll do this with a book and I can't put it down. I have to stop all other books and finish that book. Don't Look for Me joins that club. In one sense, Don't Look for Me is a meditation on grief. It's a grieving woman and her grieving daughter going through an unbelievable situation. Molly and her daughter Nicole are still grieving for the daughter and sister they lost five years ago when Molly goes missing. The police call off the search after they receive the titular note. Nicole can't stop searching for her mother and answers. I won't give you anymore than that. This book was unputdownable and one of the better drama/thrillers I have read this summer. Don't miss it!

Thanks to St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for the ARC!

Don't Look for Me is the latest book by Wendy Walker. This story is a page turner.....likable and creative characters.....scary to think that in today's world this could be a story from the headlines. I want to thank NetGalley and St. Martins Press for an early copy to review.

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for my digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

And honestly? I was into this book right from the very beginning. Molly is a woman who has suffered in life...she lost one daughter, her other one hates her, and her son seems like he couldn't care less about what happens in her life. After a horrible fight with her daughter one morning, Molly goes to watch her son play a game and doesn't come back home. The police and everyone else seems to think she just walked away from her life. But her daughter knows better...and won't give up looking. The reader knows that Molly did not walk away and that she is desperately trying to get back to her family...we do not know who is involved or why until almost the end of the book...but let me just say that nothing was as it seemed and I was totally wrong on who I thought the bad guy was. This book grabbed me from the very beginning and did not let me go until I was through with it. It was a wild and twisty ride. I would 100% recommend it. :)

#dontlookforme #wendywalker #arc holy .... what a freaking journey I just went on. A mother’s guilt over the loss of her child. She finds herself in the eye of a hurricane. The events that take place that night and the days following .... take a breathe y’all cause you won’t be breathing again until this book is over. #netgalleyreader #netgalleyreviewer #bookstagram #wow #itslikethat #bookhangover

This book was written well, grabbed you quickly, and brought you through twisting and turning routes to an epic conclusion. I couldn’t put it down.

This was the first book I have read by Wendy Walker. I received it as an Arc from netgally. I was immediately captivated by the way the book was written. The plot line had me so engrossed I loved the character's and I couldn't put it down because I needed to find out how it was going to end. I can't wait to try another book by Wendy Walker.

Wendy Walker's newest book is Don't Look for Me. It is the story of Molly Clarke who while driving home from her son's football game in a hurricane disappears. The search for her is stopped after four days when a note and her close are found in a hotel room 30+ minutes from where her car was abandoned. It is labelled a "walk away". 10 days later Molly's daughter Nicole receives a phone call from a woman claiming to have seen Molly get picked up in a truck on the night in question. Will Nicole find the answers she seeks.
Wendy Walker fills her novels with highly flawed characters making it difficult to truly root for anyone. The story is told from Molly and Nicole's POV's but they start on different days in the story and finally converge to the same day. Walker makes you question are victims really victims and are people really bad in the way we think.
I read this book in less than two days because the story kept me reading. There was one chapter ending line that made me think if your reader doesn't know this then they are stupid. And I also thought I knew everything but Walker through in a twist I did not see at the end. If you liked Emma at Night you will like this one, Don't Look for Me is very much in the same vain.

Molly accidentally killed her young daughter when she came around the corner as Annie was running across the street. The accident has left her full of guilt, with a husband who cannot stand to be around her, and an older daughter who struggles with her own guilt for not watching Annie carefully. Molly decides to leave it all behind and start anew. Sounds good until she is picked up on the road by Mick and kidnapped. She is to be a mother to Alice; locked up in a prison in his home. Molly constantly struggles to get out of the house and she tries to take care of Alice even though she resents her. This book has a lot of twists and turns, characters who begin to see what is really important in life and learn that forgiveness is a process. It is a really good book.

Don't Look For Me by Wendy Walker is an okay thriller. The storyline is excellent and it could be great if the characters and their interaction with each other was more fleshed out. I realize that the details of the characters' backstories are given piece meal through out the book, but many of them would have been more impactful and made you feel more for the characters, if they were told in a little bit more detail.

This is still a good book and probably worth your time since it's premise is different than most thrillers.

*I was given an ARC ebook from NetGalley for this review*
Don't Look For Me by Wendy Walker. Molly Clarke disappears on the night of a huge storm with nothing more than wet clothes and a short note. Did she just walk away from her family on a whim? After a terrible tragedy has been eating her alive, why wouldn't she?

This novel hit hard and fast. It gripped you and didn't let go until the very end. With perfect pacing to where you felt like YOU were putting the pieces together with every chapter, but with twists that made you think "Oh, you think you know what's going on? Try again." Pair that with character development and emotions that you could feel, you could taste, you could hurt exactly the way Wendy described how these characters were hurting. This is definitely a more emotional thriller than I'm used to reading.

I thought it was a slam dunk. With so many twists you could get whiplash and an ending that literally left my mouth hanging open. You need to read this!

Wendy Walker's novel Don't Look for Me grabs you from the first page and doesn't let you rest ever. It was so exciting and the shocking revelations were so unexpected. Molly, April and Nic are well-thought out characters that make the book spellbinding. You must read it.

A bizarre twist at the end that I didn't think was totally necessary, but overall a good thriller! It kept me hooked, even with the chapters switching between the two main characters.

I stayed up way too late reading this one. Lots of surprises and a satisfying ending after all the tension.

*Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing an e-galley in exchange for an honest review.

Wendy Walker is a master at gripping, twisty, tantalizing reads! Sucking you in from the beginning you won’t want to put it down! When you think you’ll know what’s going to happen something else get’s thrown in! The twist of a certain someone popping up made this read 110% worth it!

I thought Don't Look For Me was a great thriller! I enjoyed that I couldn't connect the dots so early on. The different relationships and backstories made it interesting to read. The complex relationships between adults and children is closely looked at. Are children bad or can they be good and just do bad things? I feel the resolution could've been a bit more developed, it was over too quickly and too easily. Overall, it was a good read!

This thriller kept me guessing until the very end. The whole time I was reading I knew it was building up to a reveal but I couldn't predict what happened.
