This cover is gorgeous. It sucked me right in. I love a good thriller, especially one with a very likeable character. Tons of plot twists, I could not guess the end. I hate when I figure out the end of a thriller. I loved it!

Thank you Netgalley. This was a great read! The multiple POV storyline was very well done and kept me wanting more. Highly recommend

The Vanishing Hour is about a young woman with a past she wants to forget who suddenly finds herself in the center of a string of disappearances that force her to rejoin a world she tried to hide from.

The Vanishing Hour takes place in the quiet little town of Rock Harbor, Maine. We follow Grace, a kidnapping survivor who is trying to live a calm life and escape the tragedy that still haunts her eight years later. When multiple other kidnappings occur in the small town, Grace is thrown back into chaos, along with her secrets. Additionally, we meet two other characters. Kira, who is searching for her daughter, and Adam, who is searching for his father.

Told through multiple POV’s, The Vanishing Hour takes the reader on a ride full of suspense and plot twists. Though it does take a while to join all the stories together, I was engaged and captivated the entire time. While I didn’t love the ending, I did not predict the culprit, and who doesn’t love a good whodunnit!

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC! This one was very hard to get into unfortunately. I had to DNF it because it didn't seem to go anywhere and the various POVs were very confusing unfortunately

I love any novel by Seraphina Nova Glass (I enjoy just reading her name) and the Vanishing Hour is up there as one of the best five star reads this year. What makes this story outstanding are the realistically real characters - you can picture them in your mind fully formed. You care about them.. plus it’s a complex and rather complicated story and we learn just enough to keep us ready one more page. A satisfactory ending filled with promise.

Unputdownable from the first page! SNG always has the best plot twists and I thought nothing could beat On a Quiet Street, but this gives it a run for it's money. You will easily lose yourself in this thriller from the first paragraph. Once you pick up this book you won't stop until you are done - not even for a bathroom break! Bet!

What a Nail-Biting Suspense! At first I felt a little confused with the multiple POVs but I quickly I adjusted to it. I enjoyed all the individual stories and how they connected to one another perfectly. This story was full of shocking secrets and unexpected plot twists. The ending was satisfying and made sense to me.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC that was provided to me in exchange for an honest review.

This was an extremely fun thriller to read, with complicated family dynamics and it truly kept me guessing the whole time! Seraphina Nova Glass does a great job of keeping the twists coming.

Fast-paced and immersive, A recommended purchase for collections where crime and thrillers are popular.

This author is a favorite. The Vanishing Hour was a very entertaining read and one I would recommend. So many twists that I didn't see coming.

This was my first book by Seraphina Nova Glass and I'm so happy I picked it up.

WHAT I LOVED:
- The book took place in a small, ocean side town in Maine, which I loved. The setting made the book seem more intense.
- I also really loved the alternating POV's. It was told from the POV of Kira (who was looking for her daughter), Aden (who was looking for his father) and Grace, who had been a victim before. It really added a unique view point into each person's thoughts.
- The twist at the end!! I never saw it coming, which is always the best!!


TRIGGERS:
- drugs
- prostitution
- serial killer
- murder

3.5ish stars

Another interesting thriller/mystery with a good amount of suspense, some truly wild details, a range of characters, and a series of twists at the end. It was mostly an enjoyable story, and I’ll always love the colours/designs of the cover. I’m glad I was able to go back and read this one.

While I did enjoy the novel, at times I felt like there was too much going on, too many subplots, too many characters to keep track of. The writing is excellent though. Will definitely keep an eye out for other projects by this author.

I really enjoyed this book and look forward to more from this author. The book is engaging and I really wanted to see what happens.

I had trouble getting invested with this one, or caring about the main characters. The ending was silly and convenient. It came out of left field and just felt so over the top that I couldnt look past it. This was readable and will be a hit for others, it just wasnt for me.

I did not finish this one, it was not for me, I couldn't relate to the characters, and just did not care for the story.

On a Quiet Street was one of my favorite reads last year, so I was very excited to start The Vanishing Hour. Although not as addictive as her previous book, I still found myself invested in the atmospheric mystery. The beginning was a little hard to get into because you're interested to multiple points of view and I wasn't sure how the three were going to come together as a cohesive plot. I also didn't love the switches from 1st person and 3rd person POVs. Yet, after a disjointed beginning, the mystery really started to grab my interest. I didn't really suspect where the book was going and the ending did surprise me although I wasn't sure it was completely believable.

Unfortunately couldn’t get into this book. The way it was written wasn’t for me.
Thanks NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book. In exchange for honest review.

THE VANISHING HOUR isn't a suspense thriller that's going to recreate the wheel, but it knows its strengths and runs with them head first. It has a pretty cool setting and plot right from the start. There are multiple POVs (which is always a way to lure me on in), but they did sort of confuse me at first. It took a bit to get into the groove of their POVs switching and wondering how, and if, their stories were going to weave together. There are some pretty good twists, and some might find them predictable (not me, though... the author got me here!) but I think it all goes off the rails in the best way at the end. I am definitely interested in more from Glass and I can see why there are so many fans of this author!
