A mom panicks when her baby is kidnapped, but she's not your typical mom, she is a complete bad ass who not only knows who took her daughter, but where to go find them. I laughed, I cried, I held my breath for her in those tense moments because behind it all is a loving mother and wife who would go through any length to protect her family. I loved her character, I loved the storyline, and I loved the ending. Hopefully, her story continues in another book! I received a free copy for my honest review.

Wow what a debut. Hands down the best that I have read and it's up there in my top books of the year. Her daughter is taken and she knows why but how is she going to get her back? A wild and thrilling ride , I held on tight and didn't want to get off.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advance copy of Go Seek by Michelle Teahan in exchange for my honest review and opinion. This book is an absolute thriller from the word 'go' and will keep you guessing until the end. I seriously held my breath until the very end as I was afraid of what was going to happen next. This is one heckuva thriller!

Well what a debut! Have I just been converted as a fan of this author? Absolutely I have!! What a phenomenal debut!!

Go Seek is everything I had hoped for and so much more. This is a rollercoaster ride that will grip you and keep you craving more from very early on.

Maeve is brilliant! A phenomenal main character full of strength and determination. This is a woman who will protect her family at all costs. Even if those costs mean, committing crimes.

This all begins to unravel at the disappearance of Maeve’s youngest daughter Sarah. We see her jump on a plane, head to Ireland in order to find her baby girl.

Go Seek has been captivating, unpredictable and completely unputdownable. This is a book I have devoured in just one sitting.

I loved the mix of characters in this one. Some you instantly love and others you are intrigued to the core by. Regardless of your opinions, this will have you eagerly turning page after page, craving pieces to see where this is going.

Teahan has created a unique, gripping and unpredictable masterpiece. This is definitely an author to watch out for. This is a brilliant debut and I have no doubt will be on my favourites of 2023 lost.

I really have loved everything about this one. A superb read from beginning to end. There is nothing negative I can say about this one. I need more.

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.

Very exciting story of a kidnapped child and a woman reverting and returning to her past life to save her….no matter the consequences. The woman is a fighter, and easily slips back in to her old self to save her daughter. Lots of action.

Wow, this was a heart-pumping thriller! Maeve is horrified when her baby is stolen away from her.

I was delighted to receive this arc through netgalley and the publishers.

I raced through this one as it was such an easy read with lots of thrills and secrets along the way. How far would you go for your family? That is the question facing Maeve when she finds her youngest child missing. We follow her race to get her back.

I will be watching out for what Michelle Teehan writes next, a fantastic debut novel.

4 stars.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review as part of the book tour hosted by Headline Books.

Go Seek is the first book by Michelle Teahan I've had the pleasure of reading, and it will definitely not be the last!
Maeve, a mother of two young children, is thrust into her dark past when her baby is stolen right from under her nose. She can not turn to anyone for help and can only trust herself to get her child back from the dangerous people who have her. Racing back to Ireland and thrust back into a past she'd hoped was behind her, Maeve reaches out to a former flame for Intel, and we see a dark and dangerous side to this vulnerable mother. We follow Maeve into a seedy life of organised crime, lies, secrets, and dangerous players. Just when you think you know where this book is going, it throws you completely off course. So cleverly written and executed, and I hope there will be a sequel!

BLOG TOUR REVIEW


Review for 'Go Seek' by Michelle Teahan.


Read and reviewed for Michelle Teahan, NetGalley and Headline Publishers.


Publication date 1st June 2023 on kindle and 15th February 2024 in paperback.


This is Michelle's debut novel and one of the best debut novels I've ever read!!


This novel consists of a prologue, 48 chapters and an epilogue. The chapters are short to medium in length so easy to read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case!

'Go Seek' discusses some topics that may upset some readers or may not be suitable for others. I like to point this out ahead of time in my reviews so you can judge if this book is for you or not. In this book Michelle discusses/includes violence, threats to children and miscarriage.


WOW!!! AN ABSOLUTELY ACTION PACKED AND ADDICTIVE THRILLER THAT I JUST COULD NOT PUT DOWN!!!

The first thing I have got to say is an absolutely HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to the amazing author Michelle Teahan!!! I was absolutely mind blown that when I had finished this epic page turner I went to add the rest of her books to my Amazon wish list only to discover that THIS is her DEBUT novel!!! I mean just WOW fairplay!!! If THIS is what you can create for your very first book then I just cannot wait to see what on Earth you will come out with next!!!! If you are looking for any ideas on what amazing page turner to create next then I would absolutely LOVE to read more about Maeve and Christopher, maybe more about Christopher's history? Without giving anything away I would love to see more about any of the characters in this book, both past and future, a while series would be amazing!!! Hint hint 😉!! Anyway, moving on...


The storyline is extremely powerful, addictive and eye opening. Along with being unique and EXPLOSIVE it is also an extremely fast paced thriller filled with suspense!! It started with a very chilling prologue and the pace kept getting faster and faster making it feel like the reader is on a rollercoaster ride!!! I couldn't read the book fast enough and was flipping the 'pages' until early in the morning. I was not expecting the explosive secrets that were scattered throughout !! There is no way in hell I would have worked out that absolutely bombshell ending!!! I was absolutely mind blown and gobsmacked!!! A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS 👏 to Michelle on that as it is getting harder and harder to surprise me with all the crime and psychological thrillers I have read but you managed it hook, line and sinker!!! I won't say any more than that as don't want to spoil it for future readers but I was absolutely shocked!! It is ram packed with deceipt, mystery, family, secrets, lies, drama, crime, twists , murder, suspense, mind blowing surprises and everything you could want in a psychological thriller!! Michelle's evocative writing skills sucks the reader straight into the storyline with multiple timelines as well as multiple protagonists, both first and third person perspective, she ensures you don't just see everything that is going on but actually brings the characters and storyline to life all around you. I was left with my heart absolutely pounding on the edge of my seat!!! What happened to Maeve is every parents worse nightmare and straight from the start I was completely invested in the storyline and just had to know what was going to happen. I gave up counting how many times I told myself one more chapter just to HAVE to know what happened next as this happened over and over until I ended up devouring the whole book in one sitting!!!
The characters are all solid and realistic with a large range of personalities!! I absolutely loved Maeve and was completely invested in her. I loved how she had all these different personality traits and that she is one kick butt woman that there is no way I would want to get on the wrong side of!!!
Michelle's evocative writing skills brings each of them to life making them jump out of the pages while you are swept away on this epic page turner!!! I had no idea which characters to trust, like and/or hate and Michelle evoked so many different feelings for each of the characters as well as different emotions in all the many scenarios and scenes!!! Regardless of how you feel about any of the characters they all played their parts perfectly to create this absolutely addictive page turner and I would love to 'meet' many of them again!!!! I cannot wait to get stuck in to this amazingly talented author's next book!!!!

Do not pick this up until you have cleared your schedules as you will not be able to put it down!!

Congratulations Michelle on an absolutely explosive debut novel!!! Welcome to my favourite author list and here's to your next success 🥂!!!


Overall an addictive, action packed thriller that will have you hooked from beginning to end!!

This was a good book fir me. It took me a while to get into it as I felt it was
drawn out too much in parts. The storyline was good and I would recommend it to others

Was this review helpful?

This was gripping from the start until the very end. It has me on the edge of my seat and was utterly nail biting.

This was written so well, I thought it was so brilliantly paced, I read it in a day and didn’t want to put it down. I really liked how it switched clearly between the timelines of past and present which portrayed the story in an exhilarating way.

Just when you think you know what’s going to happen next there is an unexpected twist and the big twist at the end was jaw dropping, I could never have seen that coming.

I will definitely be picking up more by this author and I am hoping there will be a sequel.

Was this review helpful?

I was pleasantly surprised.
I thought the book would be good, but i didn’t know it would focus on the Irish mafia which i thought worked really well with Teahan's writing style.

For a debut, you cant knock it!

I liked the twists and turns at the end, not being able to guess the last 2.


The book and the plot kept me hooked throughout, following the character of Maeve King, otherwise known as the ruthless criminal Maeve Dean, going undercover into the Irish gang/mafia to gather intel for Europe. However, her past is about to catch up with her when her daughter is kidnapped. Maeve must decide, save her daughter and go back into the criminal underworld, or take her family and run away as far as she can.

A definite page turner to keep you on yours toes.

Can Maeve trust those from her old life, or is she going into the lion’s den all alone?

Gave me goosebumps and had my heart racing. Without a doubt the thriller of the year. Will be an auto buy author for me in the future.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this book.
This is my first title by this author and I really enjoyed it.
This book had me hooked the whole way through and I could not put it down.
This was an awesome thriller and had twists and turns galore.
Thanks again would recommend to anyone wanting a thriller.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I found this book a little hard to get into, unfortunately it’s not the type I would normally read. I felt it had a bit of a gangster/mafia type of vibe. I would recommend this to anyone who likes this sort of genre.
Thank you netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a honest review.

I don’t remember why I requested this book as I am not a huge fan of domestic thriller, reading the blurb I think it was a sort of gut feeling and my guts were right.
This is a page turner, a book that starts with a BANG and closes with an atomic explosion. There’s plenty of action, surprising twists, and excitement in between
This is the right book that I define an unputdownable page turner, an Irish noir with humour and a gritty undertone.
Maeve, the MC, is not your everyday mother who is desperate because her child was taken. She’s a bad ass woman with a violent past who refuse to break and will do everything to get her children back.
A well rounded, fleshed out and likeable character. She’s faulted, morally grey but she’s also a mama bear who will not stop at anything to have her child back.
There’s a contrast between some idyllic landscape and the violence in this story as there’s a different picture of Ireland. There’s organized crime, violent and vengeful characters.
All the characters are well written, and you can dislike them but this cast of characters kept me turning pages and I read this book in one sitting.
Another Irish lady who writes excellent thriller, can’t wait to read the next one.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to Headline for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Go Seek was a great read. I definitely recommend it.

It was packed with adventure and definitely had some twists and turns. It gave a kind of Irish Mafia feel throughout the read. If you are looking for crazy suspense or mystery following this story it didn't personally give me that vibe. But it was full of action and fighting and had a good story line. The characters were interesting and I did want to know how the whole story would pan out! There were some twists for sure some of which I saw coming and some that were surprising! =]

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for an action packed adventure!

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for this ARC copy!

Copy kindly received via NetGalley for an honest review.

A very interesting read with great characters. Between the lies and secrets it was no wonder some people didn't know what the truth was. Maeve put herself through a lot to find out what the truth was. Lots of brutality and murders. An interesting ending. Would recommend.
