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!
I really loved Seraphina Nova Glass’ last book, but this one fell a little flat for me. It seemed to have a lot of unnecessary dialogue and details that I could have done without. The ending left something to be desired. Not the worse, not the best.
This book was a ride! I really enjoyed the characters and the plot. I did find that the ending wasn't my favorite but that's just a personal opinion. And it didn't tarnish my view of the whole book. It was an enjoyable time for any fans of mysteries.
I really wanted to love this one but I felt like there were too many instances where things didn’t quite fit or made any sense.
Also I just think the ending was a bit rushed and didn’t add up for me. There were still some elements of the story I did enjoy though, thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read The Vanishing Hour.
What a great roller coaster ride from this book. Three characters that will be bound together for ever, the son of a missing man, the mother of a missing girl and a woman who was once missing herself. Three different people going down this deep dark path to find the missing. Truly unbelievable end that sets this book apart for others. Thanks to NetGalley for my advanced reader copy. The book will be released on May 30, 2023. I suggest you get your copy as soon as it arrives. I now have to read the previous books by the author..
