This starts off as a simple sister us dying story. Within a few pages it goes up a notch. There are cross wired and it’s hard to know who to believe which is a great way to keep you hooked. Will be looking for more by this talented writer.
Wow! This is a must read!! I started this last night & finished it this morning! Exciting from beginning to end!!!
OH..... MY...... GOD!!!! This was a crazy thriller, I was constantly on the edge of my seat wondering what the next shock twist would be. I was totally hooked on this fast paced thiller I couldn't have stopped reading if I wanted to. This thriller completely messed with my head and that ending was explosive. I think this my favourite thiller I picked up this year.
#HaveYouSeenHer? #NetGalley
Blair is a social worker living a quiet life in Seattle. One day, she gets a call from her older sister, Eviana, who lives in Florida telling her that she has terminal cancer. Although the two of them have never been close, Blair flies to Florida to be with her.
Eviana is a very successful social media influencer married to Simon. When she arrives, Simon tells her that Eviana has gone missing but he hasn’t notified the police. He thinks she just needs a rest and so he and her manager, Tom, will keep her posts going.
The longer Blair is there, the more she suspects that Simon may be lying and something may have happened to Eviana. As she meets her sister’s friends and checks her social media posts, the more concerned she becomes. Where is Eviana?
Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for giving me an advance copy.
In this book I really struggled with the characters. I found the storyline to be unrealistic and I didnt like the ending.
This was my first Dea Poirer book. The social media and estranged sisters plot line was really good. . I enjoyed the interesting plot of this dual timeline mystery.
I love the new plot lines that have social media mixed in with them. This one was a roller coaster! I can't tell you how many times I thought I had it figured out, and then realized I was wrong. Excellent.
Thanks to #NetGalley and #Bookouture for the audio ARC of #HaveYouSeenHer by #DeaPoirier. This is a very captivating book with lies, relationships and evil. You never really know what is going on in others heads and actions. I highly recommend.
This is a first by the author for me. The cover is what initially grabbed my attention and after reading the synopsis, I knew it sounded like one I would enjoy. This was quick read that kept my attention and I enjoyed it. I would definitely read more books from this author.
Every book I have read from this author I have loved from the very beginning till the very end and her latest book; Have You Seen Her?
by Dea Poirier was not different. It was and excellent book that did not disappoint. I just could not put it down, once I read the first few pages.
Dea has a way of bring her audience into the books and you just want more especially as the characters are brilliant and so believable.
I can not recommend all her books enough!
They have always been a brilliant read and a great book for holidays.
Big Thank you to netgalley and bookouture for my ARC in exchange for a review.
This is another gripping, pulse racing thriller from Poirer. I knew from the synopsis I was going to love this one. However, I had no idea just how much I’d love this one.
There are plenty of twists and turns in this one. I found myself completely hooked and unsuccessful at trying to predict where this would go.
Blair is a brilliant character. She takes us on a journey to find out what has happened to her sister. I was instantly hooked by this one. It’s one of those books that pulls you in instantly and becomes completely unputdownable.
I’ve read a few books by this author. This is definitely a favourite. I’ve literally devoured this in just one sitting with no regrets. This is an absolute must read.

From the moment I was born, I knew that I would always come second to my sister. Bright, popular, beautiful – she has always been everything that I’m not. But when she vanishes without a trace I know deep down I’m the only person who can find her. I haven’t spoken to my sister Evianna in years, not since a shocking accident tore our lives apart and sent us to opposite sides of the country. For years I have worked as a social worker and Evianna is a successful online celebrity. Our lives couldn’t be more different.
Holy smackballs! This was quite the intense read and I enjoyed every stinking sentence. My first book by Dea but it won't be my last!
Enjoyed this book! Great mystery of what happened to Eviania. There is a great twist at the end that you won't see coming! This book is a captivating mystery!
What a well-written novel! I truly enjoyed Dea Poirier's writing style. This book grabbed me right from the beginning. It did start off slow, but I was very intrigued and wanted to know what was going on. I read lots of thrillers and I lose interest quickly with many books having the same plots and storylines. But this one was different! I thought I had it figured out LOTS of times, but I was wrong every time! There were plenty of twists and turns, and they made sense in relation to the plot.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for an ARC in exchange for my honest and voluntary review.
Interesting mystery of one sister's fight to find her missing sister. Blair's influencer sister, Eviana, has gone missing. A cast of menacing characters leave you wondering who, exactly, is responsible. Not helping matters is the fact that Blair has her own secrets that prevent her from seeking help from the authorities. Can she survive the search for her sister when Eviana's friends and husband are out for vengeance?
I always enjoy Dea Poirier's thrillers, and this is yet another engaging one. She strings readers along, feeding them little bits that keeps you desperate to turn the page. When everything unravels, you're left with a fascinating conclusion that makes the heart-racing story worthwhile.
Thanks to Bookouture for inviting me on a book tour for Have You Seen Her?
I could not put down this psychological thriller. There are so many enticing elements in this read: deception, family history, sibling drama, friend drama, social media drama, ALL THE DRAMA! I think any reader who enjoys the genre will find Have You Seen Her? a fast-paced, engaging read. I loved the ending but I still have questions about some of the supporting characters - how did they all end up? I hope someone I know reads it soon because I want to discuss that ending!!
I really enjoyed this one!! 🤩🤩 Brilliantly complex, devious, and wonderfully layered. I was hooked from the beginning and had one thought throughout the book, which consisted of “WTAF is going on??!” 😵💫😵💫 Like seriously, head scratching over here.
Poirier weaves an intelligent tale of greed, secrets, and lies. Her characters are well fleshed out, some likeable, some unreliable, some downright vicious 👀 👀
There’s a bit of jumping around of timelines (always fun) and the chapters that show the sister’s relationship when they were younger are very insightful. You can tell throughout that something ain’t right. Let’s take a moment to consider the mum… like wowsers!! 🫠🫠
Anyone looking to be a social media influencer may think twice after reading this one 😱😱
Sisters Blair and Eviana don't get on and haven't spoken to each other in years. So when Eviana phones saying she has Cancer,Blair flies across the country to be with her. No sooner has she returned home than she gets a
all from Simon,Evianas husband,saying she's missing. Blair returns to Orlando and Simon and herself set about looking for Eviana. Without involving the police. Simon thinks the media circus a missing report will cause will affect Evianas 'brand' as she's a social media influencer. He actually seems more concerned about this than his missing wife! Blair and Eviana have a secret past and Blair doesn't want that coming out either. It's a bit frustrating in that sense but a good read. This is not my first book by Dea and I'd definitely read her future books.
With thanks to Bookouture NetGalley and @deapoirier for an ARC to read and review.
This is the second book I’ve read by the author and she is very good at keeping me guessing about what happened to a missing character. Full of all types of secrets, between estranged sisters, a recent reconciliation and the sister is now missing, I was on my toes trying to figure out who, if anyone is reliable. It was hard to like any of the characters, but I wanted to know what had and was happening.
While taking place is the present when the MCs sister is missing, this one does delve into the sisters’ past and what led them up to the estrangement. They’ve had a not so perfect childhood and of course there are feelings of resentment that leads up to their estrangement.
I both listened and read this one and loved Amelia Sciandra’s narration. She really brought the story to life and kept me wanting more.
If you like a good childhood drama domestic suspense, you need to read this one.
BLOG TOUR REVIEW
Review for 'Have You Seen Her?' by Dea Poirier.
Read and reviewed via NetGalley for Dea Poirier, Bookouture publishers and Bookouture anonymous
Publication date 19th September 2023.
This is the third book I have read by this author. I have previously read 'The Girls In The Fire' and 'The Marriage Counselor' which I highly recommend.
This novel consists of 43 chapters. 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!
WHAT did I just read!!!! WOW!!! I mean seriously Wow!! I was NOT expecting that lot fair play!!! This has GOT to start with a MASSIVE WELL DONE DEA!!!! Ooopps sorry, yes, needed a minute to get over that but I've just left you hanging there... Sorry.... Let me tell you more...
Firstly let's start off with the writing style, etc!! This book is an extremely well written book by this amazing author which had me hook line and sinker!!! It is so smoothly and fantastically written with vivid and evocative descriptions I completely forgot I was even reading a book a few times. The blurb, title and cover really fit the storyline. to create an absolutely explosive and addictive storyline that had me hooked from the gripping first chapter to the absolutely shocking ending!!! This is one of those books where you have absolutely no idea who is telling the truth and who can be trusted and the ending was an absolute explosive bombshell of a twist!! I found the storyline to be realistic, very fast paced and I listened to it in just several hours!!! I loved the setting and atmosphere and just well... Everything!!! Twists after shocks after turns!!! Its so hard to NOT say anything about them as it will give too much away and spoil it for future readers but it definitely left me speechless over and over!!! I have read hundreds of psychological books and it gets harder and harder to keep my interest and to shock me but these fantastic authors managed it hook, line and sinker Just brilliant fair play and all links in and wraps up perfectly!!! Dea weaves the storylines together perfectly and leading the readers up to some extremely explosive twists that I would never have seen coming. I cannot remember the last time I flew through a book so quickly. Each and every time I went to put it down to do something my fingers were itching to pick it back up as I just HAD to know what happened next!! Dea's evocative writing skills ensure you are sucked deep into the storyline seeing everything that is happening and feeling the tension, stress and suspense that Blaire is going through. My heart was in my throat throughout reading this fast paced, gripping and gritty psychological thriller! It is ram packed with lies, twists, tension, stress, suspense and everything you could ask for in a psychological thriller. It really does make you wonder who you can trust, if anyone!! I can't say more than that as I don't want to spoil it for future readers so if you want to know you'll have to grab yourself a copy!! You won't regret it!!
This is one of the few books that I have listened 100% on Audiobook. If I listen to a book on audiobook I usually also read the physical book between but I listened to the whole book and I was impressed! I must say a HUGE congratulations to the narrator Amelia Sciandra who did a great job bringing this story to life. I would listen to it in the car and while walking at any opportunity and Amelia did a fantastic job on both male and female characters voices!!! I'm not only looking forward to reading more books by Dea but also to listening to more books narrated by Amelia! I have also listened to 'The Girl Who Lied' by Shannon Hollinger and 'The Girl In The Pink Shoes' by Stacy Green on audiobook which were also narrated by Amelia. These are both fantastic reads and Amelia does an amazing job narrating them as well as this book so I would highly recommend any books narrated by her!
Just like with the storyline the characters come to life with Dea's fantastic evocative writing skills and Amelia's brilliant narration. They are well rounded, realistic and strong making them all the more believable. The multiple timelines builds up the character development and shows the reader the relationships between the different characters. It is one of those books where you have no idea who is telling the truth, what secrets are being hidden and it makes you wonder if you can believe any of them. They all jump out of the pages and I felt differently about them all but I can't say anything else without giving away too much and trust me when I say this is one book you want to read for yourself!! Dea really has done an amazing job constructing yet another addictive and explosive psychological thriller with fantastic and varied characters that you just won't be able to put down!!
Congratulations Dea on yet another explosive success!!! This is exactly why you are in my favourite author club!! Here's to many more successes 🥂!!!
Clear your schedules before picking this up as you will not be able to put it down!!!
Make sure you read to the very end of the book to read the first three chapter of Dea's 'The Marriage Counselor' which I have read myself and would highly recommend as it is another addictive psychological thriller by this fantastic author!
Overall an absolutely page turning, addictive, gripping and explosive must read that will keep you addicted from the very start to the explosive bombshell ending!!!
292 pages/ 8 hours 22 minutes
This book is just £1.99 to purchase on kindle, free with kindle unlimited, £7.99 in paperback and £16 for the audiobook at time of review via Amazon which I think is an absolute bargain for this book!!!
