Grace survived her kidnapping years ago and she’s lived in seclusion ever since. Whoever had taken and held her captive was never caught and now Kira’s daughter Brooke is missing. Kira realizes she can’t trust anyone and will do absolutely anything to find her daughter. Aden is also looking for his father who hasn’t returned home and after a few days, he’s not so sure anymore that his father is gone on a fishing trip or lost in a ditch somewhere. All of the missing and murdered parties seem to have disappeared from the same sketchy area in town where there’s strip clubs, drugs, and prostitution. All of the pieces finally fall into place and Grace realizes she finally knows who’s responsible but she’s not sure that anybody is going to believe her.

i haven’t read on a quiet street yet but i’ve read great things so i was really excited for this one! it’s so hard sometimes for me to describe how i felt about a book without giving too much away. the only reason this book wasn’t 5 stars for me was because i felt like the ending was a little rushed. i was still surprised but it was quiet as satisfying as i was hoping for after such a good story. other than that though i liked the multiple POV’s and i was lead in the wrong direction a few times. i really wasn’t sure how this was going to end which always makes for a good thriller.

thank you netgalley and HTP for the ARC

I finished this book on a Sunday afternoon because I refused to move till I finished! The twist literally made my jaw drop! The character's stories are so flawlessly sewn together you will not be able to put this down!

Thank you Netgalley & HTP Books for an eARC of The Vanishing Hour by Seraphina Nova Glass! To be honest, I didn't even read the synopsis before requesting this title. I didn't read it before starting it, either. Seraphina Nova Glass is an auto-buy author for me through and through, having written some of my all-time favorite books and recommendations to other book-lovers, and I pushed this one to the top of my TBR upon receiving it, despite the May pub date.

My favorite novels are the ones that take seemingly completely different storylines and blend them into a killer WTF moment. This story does just that. First up, Grace Holloway - Kidnapped growing up, she now runs the Rock Harbor Inn and Maine and keeps to herself. Second, Kira is a mom who is desperate to find her daughter who went missing from the very same sleepy town. Last in terms of POVs, Aden receives a call that his father has gone missing, too. Who is snatching young women (that look a lot like Grace did many years ago when she was kidnapped)? And is there commonality, or is it random that others are going missing, too?

I really loved the multiple points of view in this story. Each of their storylines went in a completely different direction that I was expecting, and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time while reading. Glass always writes a highly atmospheric novel, and this one is no different. Things get pretty dark, very quickly - I mean, first page quickly. 4.5 stars rounded up to 5 - CANNOT wait to see what Glass comes up with next!

An amazing small town thriller telling the story of a young woman who is forced to relive horrible events from her childhood when similar occurrences begin to happen again. An excellent story!

3.8
This took a minute to get into because the characters didn't hit right at first (a situation which more or less resolved itself maybe 1/3 or so of the way in). Other than that hiccup it reads well.

“The Vanishing Hour” starts as your classic missing persons thriller novel, but turns into so much more. Told through multiple view points, it gives you tiny snippets of the story at a time and keeps you guessing what’s true until the very end.

I have read (and LOVED) all of Seraphina’s books and they just keep getting better! This one is dark and twisted and had me on the edge of my seat the entire time! I kept looking for clues and just did not pick up on any of them but I love how everything tied together at the end!

Such a great read! I loved all the twists and turns. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone and everyone!

"The Vanishing Hour" by Seraphina Nova Glass is awesome! Her latest novel will keep you up for hours reading.

"The Vanishing Hour" is a suspenseful and satisfying mystery. Told through multiple points of view, the book holds your interest with several overlapping stories. Readers will enjoy trying to figure out how and why the stories fit together. Recommended for lovers of mystery/suspense novels. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

I don’t usually like books with multiple POVs. All of them seemed disconnected. They randomly switched and I had no idea who was talking. I also couldn’t connect with the characters as they weren’t well developed.

Three stories overlap, a woman who was kidnapped as a teenager and hiding out, a man whose father is missing and a woman whose teenager daughter is missing. This is a story of hope and healing, a story of family secrets and lies and most of all a love story. Well written and kept my interest throughout

Heart pounding thriller that left me on the edge of my seat. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. Definitely one of the best books this year.

Placeholder. Will update when the Harper Collins union new contract is finalized. Thank you again to the publisher for the copy.

Told in three different narratives; Grace, who was kidnapped and escaped death; Kira, a desperate mother whose daughter is missing; and Aden, who returns home when he gets the news that his elderly father is missing.

I normally love thrillers with multiple POVs, but there was something disconnected about the three separate narratives in this one. At first I thought maybe it was the formatting, but then I realized the POV would just randomly switch, and I had no idea who was talking. The characters were not as developed as I would have liked; therefore, connecting with any of them was difficult. While I don't actively try to solve the mystery as I read, I found the culprit to be predictable yet illogical at the same time.

I loved the last two books by this author and will continue to read her work. This one just wasn't my favorite. Thank you to NetGalley and Graydon House Publishing for the early copy.
