Connor Mitchel is a NYPD computer crimes detective that has had crime hit a little to close to home when his sister disappeared. Of course he has dug into his sister's online activity and found that she was talking to a man on a dating site. But everyone that he works with say the man couldn't have done it because he has a solid alibi. But Connor isn't convinced and decided that he needs to find more clue and evidence since no one on the police force seems to want to take him responsibly. He now has another suspect and find the woman he has been talking to and goes to see her. Evelyn is of course not even sure this crazy guy is on the up and up but the more she listens to Connor the more she believes he might be on to something. I don't want to give anymore of this book away. I liked it. I read it and I did have moments of omg what is going to happen next. I got a little confused as some of the details didn't make sense to me but other than that this was a good read

I was intrigued by the description of this story, but I never saw it coming to be honest. Connor Mitchel is a NYPD computer crimes detective, whose sister is missing. He's got a suspect in mind, but he hasn't been able to prove too much yet, he can't be on this case officially. This is how it gets involved with Evelyn Price's life, as she's going to meet the suspect, so he tries to warn her, but she's not having any of it. And because of her not listening to the potentially crazy detective, she ends meeting suspicious person again where she comes across something that definitely shows that Connor isn't crazy. Of course, she's now under the interest of a possible serial killer, so she & Connor are racing against time to find his sister, and keep Evelyn safe as well. This means that there are crazy twists & turns.
I hope you will enjoy this book as much as I have. I highly recommend "Girl Long Gone"

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Connor and Evelyn have this serene chemistry that explodes in fireworks when she finally gives up to the inevitable: they fell in love with each other.

It’s so contrasting that the romance in this book went slow and without melodramatic scenes (the suspense in the book is enough) if we compare it with the fast pace of the events in the story, and its reading. The fact that the story’s chronological time is only one week! gives the book another light.

The secondary characters do their job well and bring the bigger picture a different shade of the center of the story, which is Gabriel and his past and dark soul. Also, they gave a deeper perspective of what’s happening with the story and Gabriel as one of the main characters.

Something I have to mention is that, although Ms. Haas did a great job with the details and not letting loose ends in the book, it has a few flaws in the story. Why didn’t Evelyn had a more strong security after Gabriel’s first intention of kidnapping her? Why the police didn’t get her and her friend in the witness protection program, if they were in danger (especially Evelyn)? Those details make the story hard to believe sometimes. That said,the end is a typical HEA, nice and well deserved for Evelyn and Connor.

This is my first book from Danielle M. Haas, and I’m sure this won’t be the last. The author has enough potential in the Thriller and Suspense genre that will lead her to the big leagues. A very fast reading that keeps you on edge is the icing on the cake. And what a fantastic move by letting the reader know who's the criminal since page one... And reading his POV!!

I recommend this book to people who’s not familiar with this genre. It will be a gratifying reading.

Danielle M. Haas is a new to me author. Romantic suspense is one of the genres I like to read but I'm very picky. The synopsis of Girl Long Gone was intriguing, so I decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did. It was a good story that I enjoyed from the start. I recommend it if you're a fan of romantic suspense.

This book was just so good and I just lost myself in the story. I will most definitely be reading more books by this wonderful author.

This book has a bit of romance in it so it adds a bit of spice to it. It had a fast pace to it. It was a different thriller knowing already who had done it. I didnt really feel the emotional connection with Evelyn and Conner and I really feel that it would have made a difference if I did.

First book by this author and I really enjoyed it.
It's not often you read a suspense or romantic suspense where you know who the bad guy is from the beginning. I liked that a lot. You get to learn more about why and how.
The main characters were great and working together to make sure the bad guy doesn't get away with doing the same thing again.
I would read more from this author.

This one was difficult for me to get into and I had a hard time adjusting to the romance. Might pick up another book by this author in the future, but I was not a huge fan of the story in this one, although I found the ending pleasing.

After much perseverance I finally got into this book and was actually interested in reading it. I was not expecting this to be a romance novel but it was a nice break from the usual thriller books that I do encounter. Even though it took me a while to get into the book and actually want to finish it the ending was worth the perseverance.

Like others said, I wasn't expecting there to be romance necessarily but it was well done. It was intriguing, I liked the characters, and it was fast paced for the most part. I do feel the book could have kept going, or maybe I just didn't want it to end. Would definitely recommend to others.

Girl Long Gone by Danielle M. Haas was everything I like in a book - fast-paced, a little bit flirty and fully thrilling ❤️

Evil, attractive Gabriel likes to abduct, mutilate and murder women, but his latest prey? He messed with the wrong family...

Monica is missing and her hot-cop brother Connor is doing everything he can to find her and bring her safely home. In his off-duty investigation he stumbles across the beautiful Evelyn who unknowingly has ties to Gabriel.

This was a relatively quick and easy read for me, likeable (and love to hate) characters, thrilling and a little bit of loving to round it out. I rate this book FOUR STARS!

I don't think I anticipated this being a romance. It was an interesting story and I enjoyed the romance aspect and I enjoyed the thriller/suspense aspect but I'm not so sure I enjoyed it merged together. I really enjoyed the ending because she wasn't just a damsel in distress and she helped rescue herself. I don't think it'll be one a recommend though.

I received a copy of GIRL LONG GONE on NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. Thank you to the author and publisher for this opportunity.

Five stars and here’s why:

TOTAL BOOK HANGOVER. Danielle M. Haas does not disappoint! This is a romantic suspense that will keep you up all night long between hoping to figure things out and also the romantic intrigue. I’m a sucker for a hella-hot police officer and Connor Mitchell, part of the computer crimes unit, and Evelyn Price, a stalker’s potential next victim, have chemistry in spades!

If you like fast-paced stories, excellent writing, and characters that stay with you long after the story ends, then this book is for you. Highly recommend.

I'm on the hunt for more books by Danielle Haas...this one was thrilling and I couldn't put it down. It took you a ride that encompassed a killer, a detective, a victim and more.

My only complaint was that it was too short...a lot more depth could have been added to characters and scenarios that would have really pushed this over the top.

I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this book. It was definitely exciting and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Connor Mitchel is a NYPD detective whose sister is missing. While he can't officially work the case, he can't help but try and find her. He will stop at nothing to catch who he thinks is responsible. When he finds out that Evelyn Price is meeting the person who he thinks is responsible for his sister's disappearance, he wants to know everything she does about this person.

Evelyn knows that people are not always what they seem so when she starts to get bad vibes from the person who a detective asked her about, she begins to think there may be something to the warnings. The more she learns, the more she may be in trouble. Now, it is up to her and Connor to find his sister and keep one step ahead of the killer.

If you are in the market for a book with lots of twist and turns and keeps you on the edge of your seat, this is the perfect read for you! Nothing is as it seems and just when you think you have it figured out, something else happens that makes your question everything. I honestly could not put it down. Make sure you 1-click your copy today, I promise you will not be disappointed!

The only reason this story isn't a 5 star is because there are moments where it feels the author lost track or forgot something which had things not connecting more making since. When the story does connect it has the right amount of fear, excitement and nail biting moments to have readers over looking the simplest mistakes.

Girl Long Gone is a decent of romance and suspense. Readers can enjoy on a long summer day.

This is the first book by this author that I've read and I was hooked from the first page. This story follows the character Connor, after his sister disappears, he meets Evelyn. The characters had instant attraction and chemistry between them. The main plot line of this story is so gripping, you just get sucked into the story till the very last page.

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

GIRL LONG GONE is a good cat-and-mouse book from newbie author Danielle M. Haas. Connor Mitchell is a police officer in the computer crimes unit, which is always a draw for me. When his sister goes missing after flirting with a mysterious man online, Connor begins to investigate on his own. It doesn’t take long to realize his sister may not have been the first victim, and he catches up with the stalker’s current target, Evelyn Price. There’s a nice balance of suspense and romance, and she’s created a really compelling, robust set of characters. I can’t wait to read more from Haas.

A good romantic suspense, Girl Long Gone is my first read by Danielle M. Haas. There were a few flaws that could have been avoided but not enough to impact the flow of the story. I look forward to reading more by this author

Cop's sister gets kidnapped, he has an idea who the culprit is and hacks his account on a dating website. He sees a woman with no picture is going to meet this guy at a coffee shop. He runs in to save her and it's love at first sight. Now they play a game of cat and mouse with a killer as they race against time to save his sister.
I tried to like this book, I really did, but it did nothing for me suspense wise. You knew who the killer/kidnapper was from the get go. There were no surprises, so it really wasn't a suspenseful read. What I did like, that the heroine had a rough childhood, still timid as an adult, but she came out of the story stronger than ever, so she wasn't your typical damsel in distress. I just wish they would have approached the storyline from a different angle. Thanks NetGalley for another book. This opinions are strictly my own.
