What a terrific storyteller! I've read all of her books and each is better than the last! Riveting and keeps me glued to my seat!

Wow! This was the first book I’ve read by this author, and it won’t be the last. I liked the balance struck between the story being character driven and plot driven. I felt Kira’s pain and desperation as she moves Heaven and earth to find her daughter Brooke. I also enjoyed the connections between the POV characters and how they all came together.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the ARC! This was a page Turner with multiple POVs. Definitely suspenseful and engaging albeit having a predictable ending.

This book hooked me from the start and didn't let up. Loved everything about it. I also loved the last book this author put out. highly recommend as it has nonstop action, is highly addicting and doesn't let you down.

This was so entertaining on audio. Dual perspectives and twisty. Would recommend for thriller fans. Really enjoyed how all of the different characters were intertwined and made for a great book.

I came to love Seraphina Nova Glass pretty quickly after I read 2 of her books and realized she is basically the queen of taking popular thriller tropes and turning them into something you wouldn't expect. On a Quiet Street and Such a Good Wife both blew me away, so I had really high expectations going into The Vanishing Hour. I loved the way the author ended up combining the different storylines and characters into one, and the viewpoints were all interesting. Kira definitely ended up being my favorite of them all, and I couldn't help but love the way she refused to sit back and wait for the police to find her daughter. She also did her sleuthing in a very realistic way which is something I could appreciate.

The audiobook is narrated by the outstanding Brittany Pressley, and I thought she did a really great job with all of the different POVs she had to tackle. The unnamed POV went a way I really wasn't expecting, and she even did a great job changing her voice for that one! Although there is a man's viewpoint (Aden) and a female narrator, I loved Pressley all the same and this is an audio I would definitely recommend. The Vanishing Hour is full of secrets and tension, and I was very antsy to find out how things would end for Grace and the other characters. The downside I had with this book was that I basically immediately guessed who the kidnapper was, and there were a few other things that ended up being predictable for me. The climax wasn't everything I had been hoping for which brought down my rating, but overall, I still thoroughly enjoy the ride and love this author just as much as when I started.

Eerie from page one, this thriller hit all the beats I love most in the genre--mystery, chills, complexity, twists. A beautifully written wild ride.

Jaw dropping twists, multiple suspects, and red herrings galore! TVH made for a delightfully suspenseful and twisty psychological thriller!

Multiple POV’s with distinct storylines, palpably gritty scene setups, and superbly written character backstories; both kept me genuinely IN the story, ready for what happened next!

My only issue was the ending - it was a little over the top in a citizens gone rogue sort of way, and there were specific instances where the storyline direction didn’t feel necessary or seem real. I wanted a stronger ending, but the first 90% of the book, to me, was VERY well done. Glass’s suspenseful timing is unmatched!

Overall, I flew through this and was genuinely invested in the outcome of the story. I’ll definitely be looking into more of Glass’s work! Add this one to your fall thriller TBR for sure!

It took a while for me to get into this book. I started and stopped it a few times and read other books instead. There were multiple POVs which works in a lot of books but felt like too much in this one. Things are wrapped up in the end but it's a little convenient.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

A quick and entertaining read that got a bit convoluted at times. THE VANISHING HOUR will keep you going with a fast-moving plotline and action, but it was ultimately a bit forgettable amongst similar books and plots.

I was so excited for this one but the constant switching between multiple POVs and none of them were particularly interesting made this for a rather clunky read.

Full of alternating characters, lots of untrustworthy, bad vibes people and mysterious disappearances and murders plague a small town. Loved the suspense and the what exactly is happing aura around the book.

I received this an an advanced copy from NetGalley

This is a very good suspense filled book set at an isolated seaside inn.
The characters are very interesting, and this book pulls you into the story very quickly. Very well written and a great story!! I really enjoyed it.

Seraphina Nova Glass's The Vanishing House is twisty suspenseful novel set at an isolated seaside inn perched high on a cliffside outside a small down in a coastal Maine town or Rock Harbor. The perfect place for people to disappear and strangers to pass through. When a string of missing persons brings two strangers to her door, Grace Holloway has to make a choice; get involved, or keep her mouth shut about what she knows thus preventing a successful investigation into recent disappearances.

The story revolves around 3 key characters: Kira Everett, Grace Holloway, and Aden Coleman. Kira, whose young adult daughter Brooke has disappeared from an area called Hemlock Lane has had no success in getting anyone to talk to her. In fact, she has more questions than the police are willing to offer Aden, whose father Martin disappeared without a trace as well, and he has returned to his hometown to find out what is happening. Aden is also dealing with a daughter who likely hates him for being a bad dad.

Grace is the reclusive manager of the Windmill Inn where Aden rents a room. She is the only one who has survived and escaped this kidnapper. Grace can't let go of the past which makes her something of a recluse with only the local delivery person able to get close to her. So, when Kira and Aden arrive looking for their respected love ones, Grace knows that she may hold the clue as to who is kidnapping and murdering girls.

As Kira and Aden start investigating what is happening in Rock Harbor, the questions start with 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? Will Grace be able to put her past behind her, and could what happened to her have something to do with the people going missing in the present?

It is fair to say that I normally am not a fan of multiple narratives as it tends to take away from the story itself. However, in this case, each of the 3 main characters are all experiencing the same pain, and the same worries, and that gives the story added depth. I requested this story because I had already read 3 of the authors previous works and wanted to see what she can come up with next. Same applies for the next novel she writes.

Another home run for this author ! I love all of her books and this was no exception. From the first sentence of the book, I was completely captivated and wanted to know how the story ended and you figure out what happened to her missing daughter.

Outstanding! Glass is such an amazing writer..She keeps you locked in to this story, with deceit around every corner that has you questioning Everything. Read this right away!

3.5 stars.

"The Vanishing Hour" by Seraphina Nova Glass is a multiple-POV thriller full of twists and turns. The premise is intriguing, but the story as a whole is missing some oomph. Still, this is a solid book, but not my favorite thriller ever. The first 30-35% of the book is great, gripping, and interesting, but at some point shortly after, it fizzles out despite the great, visceral, descriptive writing. There aren't many threads left dangling at the end of this book. Everything feels well-handled, which speaks to the author's keen eye for detail when tying up loose ends. I personally didn't feel like the multiple points of view were necessary for this story and found them distracting. Unfortunately, the story is not all that memorable, and while I appreciate the ending, I didn't love it and was a bit disappointed that it was so easy to guess. I don't have much to say about this book. I did read through it relatively quickly, which is good! Maybe other readers will like this more than I did.

Thank you to NetGalley, Seraphina Nova Glass, Harlequin Trade Publishing, and Graydon House for the complimentary ARC of this book. All opinions are my own. I was not compensated for my review.

"The Vanishing Hour" by Seraphina Nova Glass is a pulse-pounding and captivating thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The novel introduces readers to a world where time travel is possible, but with dangerous consequences.


"The Vanishing Hour" is a mind-bending and thought-provoking thriller that will leave readers questioning the nature of time and the choices we make. Seraphina Nova Glass has crafted a compelling and enthralling story that will stay with you long after you've turned the last page. If you enjoy immersive thrillers with a touch of the supernatural and philosophical depth, this book is a must-read. I highly recommend "The Vanishing Hour" to anyone seeking a thrilling and intellectually stimulating reading experience.

This is a suspenseful and easy to read book that is very enjoyable, even if the ending is a bit over the top. I am a huge fan of the author and look forward to reading more work of hers.

Thank you to Graydon House for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Now available.

This book was not a winner for me. It took a really long time for me to really get into it - to the point where I debated giving up. I ended up sticking with it, and it did get more interesting toward the end, so I finished it quickly once I made it to about 65-70% of the way through, but it took a long time for me to get there. I was wondering the whole time how all the stories intertwined, but I wasn't really happy with how it all tied together at the end. Overall, this just fell a little flat for me, unfortunately.
