The Vanishing Hour
4.5 ⭐️ loved this thriller by new to me author Seraphina Nova Glass!

A mother searching for her daughter, a man searching for his father, and a woman hiding from the world. This page turner will keep you guessing until the end with all it’s twists and turns!
Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for introducing me to this author in exchange for my honest opinion! I’m so excited to read more from her! I highly recommend this thriller currently out in paperback, audio, and e book formats!!
I loved the multiple POVs and also the assumptions the characters made about each other! Once all the secrets are revealed, no one’s life will be the same!

This was such a great read! This is my first book by this author and I couldn’t wait to find out how everything came together at the end. I definitely felt Kira’s heartache and pain in her chapters. A lot of people I had as suspects! I can’t wait to read more from this author!

I thought this book was just okay. It follows three people, and we get chapters from each of their points of view. Aden, whose father is missing; Grace, who was kidnapped and held captive as a teen and managed to escape; and Kira, whose daughter is currently missing.

I liked the different points of view - it helped to keep the book interesting. It flowed nicely and I liked the writing style of this author, but I do think it dragged at times. There’s also one part involving Grace that I could tell was just added to prolong the book and it was very unrealistic and annoying. My biggest gripe with this book is that it was VERY predictable. I guessed the ending within the first few chapters. There were a couple of red herrings thrown in, but the ending was still very obvious to me.

It was an enjoyable read, but definitely not one I’ll be telling everyone to read.

This book got me hooked. I loved how it was told from different view points - with the first person being unknown. I liked figuring how the each character was connected.

Wow. What a page turner! The multi pov really kept the story moving very quickly. The author did a phenomenal job weaving storylines to distract from the possible suspect. The ending was a little predictable and felt a little cheesy

The Vanishing Hour is told in three POVS. This telling is brilliant – each POV is brought to life and unique. The character development is unmatched.

The Vanishing Hour is among my top reads for this year. It is everything I want for in a thriller. The twists and turns had me staying up way past my bedtime to read just one more chapter.

I will without a doubt read more from Seraphina Nova Glass. Highly recommend going in blind.

I liked part of the book but half of the book i really didnt. I was confused on what was going like and felt the story didnt really make up with the synopsis.

If you like twists and turns with suspense, this is your next read. There are a lot of characters and hands at play in this book. You’re constantly going into the what ifs and who could it be the whole time. I couldn’t put this book down and loved how it ended for the murderer. This was one of the best psychological thrillers I’ve read and I can’t wait to read more by Seraphina.

Holy crap this book! Like holy plot twist! This one hooked me from the beginning and kept me glued to my seat!

This was a fast paced, unnerving, twisty thrill ride! I was totally immersed in Grace's world from the beginning, and was immediately hooked on finding out who was kidnapping girls again. I don't want to say much about this, because it's worth going in fairly blind so you can enjoy all the twists, but this is perfect for fans of true-crime-esque fiction with small town secrets.

The Vanishing Hower is a quick read. It moves quickly with short chapters that leave you wanting more. This crime thriller connects three people, two women, and a man, in a seemingly random way. But Seraphine Nova Glass has plotted out a thrilling end that connects the three in such an intimate and raw way. This is one of the most detailed but moving crime stories I have read in some time.

Kira’s daughter is missing. And she is leaving no stone unturned. But she is not the only one missing from this quiet, Maine town. So, what is going on?!?

There are several main characters in this story, but Grace is the one that I enjoyed the most. Grace is a young lady that is down but not out. She has had major trauma in her past and so she lives for her solitude because she does not want anyone to know her secrets. Her pain is evident in everything she does but so is her strength!

The intensity just steadily builds as this novel moves along but it moves like a rocket. I read it in one day. So, if you need a vacation read, I highly recommend this one.

Need an intense tale that moves like lightning…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today!

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.

This book was good! I enjoyed the story and characters! There were parts that weren’t my favorite but overall a good read! 4 stars!

I really enjoy stories that have multiple POVs but the timelines join at the end. I flew through this, I couldn’t put it down.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
Another good one from this author. A little back and forth with all of the different characters but things do eventually merge.
This one had me thoroughly interested and invested in what really happened to those gone missing or dead.

"So many girls disappear after dark--during the vanishing hour, and some make it back. Most don't. If there was a girl, I hope she's safe now."

I've got to admit, for the first half of this I thought it was just OK but I kept reading anyway. Then I hit the 60% mark and I raced through the rest of the book. The second half had so much action and so many red herrings (which I love) that I didn't even mind sitting in the doctor's office waiting room well past my appointment time because I could not put this book down.

The Vanishing Hour follows three perspectives--Kira, Grace and Aden. Kira's daughter is missing, Grace has a tumultuous past, and Aden's father is also missing. They all come together due to the commonalities in their stories as they begin to unravel the mystery. One thing I did find annoying though, was that Kira's story was in first person, while Aden and Grace's perspectives were third person, which just felt weird. There were also some strange love interests that didn't seem believable or needed. Otherwise though I did enjoy this and will need to check out the author's backlist!

This was a highly entertaining quick paced thriller with plenty of twists that kept me at the edge of my seat! I appreciate it’s not a cookie cutter thriller book and was well written. I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading the next novel by Seraphina Noba Glass!

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing, Graydon House for a copy of the e-arc for my honest review.
I loved this book and could not put it down. I enjoyed the twists and turns, it was a great mystery/thriller. I liked the writing and will be sure to check out this author again. I will be sure to pick up a copy for my shelf. Really enjoyed and held my interest throughout the whole book. 4 stars!

This is a book with a dark and twisty plot and characters with different storylines that merge together. There’s Aden whose father has disappeared who returns home to Maine to look for him. There is the mother whose daughter has vanished from the red light district in the small town of Rock Harbor Maine. And finally, there is the woman hiding from the world with a secret past that holds all of the events in the book together. This book started a little slow, but I I was impressed with how everything fit together, just like a puzzle and the author does a masterful job of weaving the story around the character of Grace. This was a well-written book. My heart was in my throat at times as I waited for the next twist. I did guess the bad guy, but it didn’t take away from the overall story.

I just reviewed The Vanishing Hour by Seraphina Nova Glass. #TheVanishingHour #NetGalley

This book was fast paced with great character development. The storyline held my interest and the pacing was perfect. If you like mental puzzles with suspense, you will enjoy this book!
