This was a pretty good book. I had not read the first book in the series but was able to follow this one. There were parts where it felt a little drawn out.

I hadn’t read the previous book The Night of the Sleepover but thought that this book read well as a stand-alone. In the first book Leah had a sleepover with three of her friends but on waking she discovered that they had disappeared. This was twenty five years ago and the case had never been solved. A documentary has now been made about the case and after the premiere of the programme on the anniversary, it is discovered that three young boys have gone missing in similar circumstances. They had gone camping in a field but their tents were empty the next morning. Leah finds that she was at school with one of the boys mum Jennifer who asks if Leah can go round for support as she knows what she is going through. Leah has a son who attends the same school as the three boys so is very anxious. When Jennifer’s son turns up he claims that they were taken and kidnapped by a mysterious man in a white van. Everyone begins to wonder if it is the same man who kidnapped Leah’s friends but Leah knows that this cannot be possible as she has been keeping a secret all these years. This was a gripping read, with plenty of tension and suspense that had me hooked. Another winning read from Kerry Wilkinson.

I received a copy of this book for free and leave my review voluntarily.

I love how Kerry tells a story: the buildup, the twists, the reveal—it's always intense and addicting.

I found this book more gripping than the first in this series, and I enjoyed the alternate perspective of the past and the present. Leah was not expecting to be the center of another missing teenager case again, but here she is.

Get ready to speed-read your way through this delightfully devious book!

This is another fabulous thriller by one of my favourite authors. I really enjoyed the 1st book in this series, and this one was just as good. It’s fast paced and comes with plenty of twists which is everything you want from this type of book.

A captivating thriller that had me well and truly hooked to the very last page! One I will certainly be recommending to others.

Heart pounding thriller that left me on the edge of my seat. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. Definitely one of the best books this year.

This author is fast becoming one of my favorite authors!!! This book had me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book! A great read!!!

A great read which had me on the edge of my seat and turning the pages constantly.
A definite must read!

I really enjoyed Wilkinson’s first Sleepover book, and this was a solid follow-up. it’s a popcorn thriller about a final girl, a fun story with enough to keep you hooked for an afternoon but got a little lifetime movie-ish for my personal taste.

This is a psychological thriller novel. Leah had a sleepover 25 years ago and the other girls were missing by the morning. it's 25 years later, Leah is now a mom herself and 3 boys go missing. This story was so good, it had me at the edge of my seat the whole time, I couldn't put the book down. I gave it 5 stars.

wow, what a heart stopping thrilling read. could not put it down. edge of the seat thriller. highly recommended.

This book was a page turner from beginning to end.. Definitely was action packed towards the end with some twists I didn’t see coming. Would highly recommend. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This is the second book in the series. Even though it is the second book, you can easily read it as a standalone. This was an easy read.

Absolutely loved this book didn’t realise it was part of a series though so will definitely be reading the first instalment.

Leah was famous in her town and everyone knew who she was and what had happened to her twenty five years ago. Leah had been to a sleepover with three of her friends at one of their houses. When Leah woke in the morning all three of her friends had disappeared. Twenty five years later the mystery still hadn’t been solved and still nobody knew what had happened to her friends that night. An old school mate of Leah’s called Jennifer had asked the police to bring Leah to her house as Jennifer’s son and two of his friends had gone missing. Leah wasn’t sure why Jennifer had asked for her as they had never been close but she didn’t feel she could say no. As events unfold Leah isn’t quite sure that Jennifer is telling her the truth about what has happened. When Jennifer’s son turns up on his own Leah becomes even more suspicious.
It's good. A bit slow at first but overall it's good.
Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for giving me an advance copy.

Very well thought out storyline and very good writing style, this story grabbed from the first chapter and had me intrigued till the very end, lots of suspenseful twists in this story which held my interest through out.
I look forward to reading more from Kerry Wilkinson. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.
