L.G. Davis has done it again - a suspense filled tale that had me flying through the chapters. Lots of twist and turns in this quick, short chapters read. Clear your calendar for the afternoon, curl up with a favourite beverage or two and enjoy. I liked it!
Thank You to NetGalley, Bookouture, and L.G Davis for the opportunity to read and guiltily enjoy this ARC.

Little Lennie, she is so sweet and innocent with such a loving family. What could make her all of a sudden fear her father, why is her mum hallucinating a person in her room when there’s no one there?

Just like the first book, i loved it! I had inklings on where things were headed, but how it all unfolded was nothing like I imagined with many twists I didn’t see coming either.

If you’re going to read this one though, definitely make sure you have read the first book, The Woman At My Wedding! Another amazing read!

I received this book as an advanced reader copy for free and have provided my review absolutely voluntarily.

This book is nuts! It's approximately seven years after the ending of The Woman at My Wedding, and Hannah and Nathan have a six year old daughter, Lennie. We meet some new characters and at first, most everyone seems nice and supportive, except for "The Woman". We don't know who "The Woman" is, but I had some ideas.

The adults in this book are a mess. There are lies, deception, jealousy, betrayal, impulsiveness, poor decision making and a real lack of self-confidence for so many of them. Aside from cute Lennie, I felt like everyone else was suspect at some point. I have enjoyed every book I've read by L.G. Davis. The Missing Bridesmaid is not quite as good as The Woman at My Wedding (Book #1), but it's still worth the read. It is a fun, quick, easy story. 3.5 stars! Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the digital ARC.

This is the perfect follow up to the 1st Broken Vows book. It was another twisty and entertaining read. I’d recommend to anyone looking for an engaging and easy beach thriller.

This is the second book in the Broken Vows series and it’s just as good as the first book . I would recommend reading book one first (The woman at my wedding ) as it sets the backdrop for this second book . I found this to be another gripping read with plenty of twists and turns . The story revolves around Nathan and Hannah and their young daughter Lennie . This book was a real page tuner and really held my interest the whole way through .

The Missing Bridesmaid (Broken Vows Book 2)
by L.G. Davis
Pub Date: Jun 13 2024

The Missing Bridesmaid is a great sequel in the Broken Vows series. It starts off six years after The Woman At My Wedding, book one. I was pulled in from the first page and couldn't put it down until I finished it! The story is told from Nathan and Lennie's perspectives. I loved reading the chapters from Lennie the six year old who has an imaginary friend named Whisper. I couldn't wait to see where the story would end! I'm hoping for another sequel!

Synopsis: I’m getting married tomorrow. But someone has taken my daughter…

I first start worrying about my beautiful daughter Lennie when she claims her imaginary friend told her not to trust me or her father, Nathan. And as she retreats further into her own world and pushes us away, it feels like we are losing our little girl. Then one evening I see a shadowy figure in Lennie’s bedroom window, and I begin to worry her friend isn’t imaginary at all…

Many thanks to #TheMissingBridesmaid #NetGalley and #Bookouture for providing me with an E-ARC of this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC (Advance Reader Copy) of The Missing Bridesmaid (Broken Vows Book 2) by L.G. Davis. This was a quick and easy read. There were a lot of twists and turns but I must admit I enjoyed the first one more than the second one. I would recommend reading the first book before reading this one. It was great to see how the story ended. A 4 star rating from me.

I really enjoyed this book, it was exciting and creepy, and kept me guessing throughout. Really liked the ending too. Brilliant!

Broken Vows #2

I first start worrying about my beautiful daughter Lennie when she claims her imaginary friend told her not to trust me or her father, Nathan. And as she retreats further into her own world and pushes us away, it feels like we are losing our little girl. Then one evening I see a shadowy figure in Lennie's bedroom window, and I begin to worry her friend isn't imaginary at all. Nathan insists it's all in my head, but now my worst nightmare has come true. Lennie has been kidnapped just before our rehearsal dinner, in her adorable bridesmaid dress. And I think I know who did it....

With lots of twists and turns, I couldn't wait to see how this story would end. All the same characters are in this book., and it's told from Nathan and Lennie's perspectives. I did guess correctly where some parts of this story were heading. This is a quick and easy read. I liked the character development. I recommend you read, The Woman At My Wedding, first as it builds up the scene for this book.

I would like to thank #NetGAlley #Bookouture and the author #LGDavis for my ARC of #TheMissingBridesmaid in exchange for an honest review.

Revenge is a dish best served cold…

Six/seven years after the end of book one, Nathan is once again planning to get married, this time to Hannah, who we knew was pregnant with his child at the end of the first book.

I loved that this book was partly narrated by their daughter, Lennie, now six years old, as that is something we don’t often experience with a psychological thriller and so that is something that definitely set this book apart from others in the genre. Lennie has an imaginary friend, Whisper, who becomes real in this book and if you have read book one, you will have a very good idea of who Whisper really is! Whisper knows everything about Lennie and is the only person Lennie feels she can really trust, because guardian angels don’t lie… do they?

The story is also narrated by Hannah, who in the lead up to her wedding is feeling unwell and worries about Nathan’s distant behaviour towards her. They vowed to keep what they did secret, but is it all going to spill out?

There were some fabulous twists in this book, especially right at the end, when the full truth about Whisper comes out. I was gobsmacked! And it seems there may be more to come, because that last jaw dropping reveal in the epilogue was epic!

5 ⭐️ Thanks to Netgalley, L. G. Davis and Bookouture, for an ARC in return for an honest review.

I enjoyed the first book, The Woman at my Wedding, so of courseI had to read the sequel.

This one starts off 6 years after book one. Hannah and Nathan are getting married, and they will finally be a family with their daughter Lennie and her imaginary friend Whisper.

Of course, nothing in life ever goes smoothly, and challenges start to pop up one by one. Will they be able to overcome all the hurdles?

I think my favorite thing about this book was the chapters from Lennie's POV.
It's such a unique perspective, and I loved the addition of her imaginary friend. This also moves the plotline along at a good pace.

Overall, it was a good read, and It left an opening for a 3rd book. I still liked The Nanny series much better, though.

Thank you to Bookature and Netgally for my advanced copy. My review was voluntary.

This is book #2 in the Broken Vows series and it’s 6 years later with Lennie now being a new 6 year old in this story. She has her own chapters and she has a mind of her own with an imaginary friend. This pulled me in from page 1 and I couldn’t put it down. Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for this early release which releases June 13, 2024.

WOW! Great follow up to the first book. I didn't have too much criticism, just three things really stand out to me:

1. A week after Nathan's father passes and he is in a bad mood, Hannah is really insistent about him being distant and not being 'normal' but I think her level of worry and confusion was uncalled-for and not very understanding. The character seems to be an understanding woman so for her to be this upset, this early on, did make me slightly dislike her. Of course, when Nathan continues the bad behavior, refuses to talk to her about, yells at Lennie, etc then of course she should be concerned but I felt the concern cam on too early.

2. Nathan showed abusive behaviors in this 2nd book. Him taking the epi-pen in the first was about as abusive as he got but I am wondering here is he? He was put on the Facebook group falsely, so we are informed in the first book, but then he is a model husband and father for years just to literally let the rage out? The breaking of things, the yelling, and the harsh judgement on Hannah, without giving her a chance to speak really seems abusive to me. I feel like this is loose end that should be addressed because I think there's something there.

3. Lennie's monologues were clearly written by an adult haha. She uses words like 'duvet' instead of blanket. I just don't think a small child who has imaginary friends would instinctively say or think words like that, especially if she can't even pronounce funeral.

Positives:
- fast paced
- even though I knew it was Brynn, I was still on the edge of my seat waiting for the reveal.
- I really enjoyed Hannah's inner monologues.
- The Gloria twist got me - I wonder if Gloria is just great at manipulation and actually was purposefully poisoning Hannah. I guess the 3rd book will reveal all!

Fascinating sequel to The Woman At My Wedding. Loved getting to know Lennie and following the twisted path of this story. Will there be a third? A definite must read if there is!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc in exchange for an honest review! Book 2 of the Broken Vows series and is just as amazing as the first one! I never figured out the twist the whole time and was shocked when I did. Amazing plot

This book started out real well and held my interest a lot more than Book 1 of this series. Nathan and Hannah are looking forward to finally getting married and their 6-year-old daughter, Lennie, is excited as well. Nathan's father dies suddenly and that throws him into a deep depression. At the same time, strange things are beginning to happen to Hannah as well. None of the characters are very likeable including their daughter, Lennie, who both parents seem to cater to her every whim. The story does seem to be repetitive at times with Hannah's headaches, dizziness, etc. Overall, it was a pretty good read.

Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC of this book.

Another fantastic book by L. G Davis, I found it really hard to put this book down, I was so gripped by it, I highly recommend both books in the series.

**Book Review: "The Missing Bridesmaid" by L.G. Davis**

L.G. Davis delivers a gripping and an intensely emotional thriller in "The Missing Bridesmaid," a novel that seamlessly blends psychological suspense with family drama. The story revolves around a mother’s worst nightmare: her daughter’s sudden disappearance on the night before her wedding.

The story has a time jump that begins with an unsettling introduction to Hannah and Nathan’s daughter, Lennie, who starts to talk to her imaginary friend, Whisper. Lennie’s imaginary friend sets the stage for a chilling series of events.

As the plot thickens, Davis masterfully keeps readers on the edge of their seats with a series of twists and turns.

Davis excels at creating a palpable sense of fear and urgency, drawing readers into Hannah’s frantic search for Lennie. The pacing is relentless, I lost a bit of sleep as I kept coming back for more!

The only thing for me was the time jump. I felt it was too long between what happened in Book 1 to Book 2.

Another great read by LG Davis! She delivers every single time. This one kept me reading long into the night. Fabulous character development. Always a fun read. Dark and gritty.
Thank you NetGalley, LG Davis and Bookouture for the opportunity to read and review this book.

After the way book 1 ended I couldn’t wait to get my hands on book 2

I thought reading chapters from a child’s perspective would be weird but it really helped propel the plot.

I may have liked this one more than the first! Did I predict some of the reveals? Yes. Was it still fun getting there? Sure was!

L.G Davis is definitely becoming a go-to author for popcorn thrillers that are easy to love!
