This is such a good book!!! It is a perfect thriller with so many twists and turns. You never really know where the book is going. I think it was full of emotion and great writing! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Thanks to #NetGalley and #Bookouture for the book #NeverComeBack by #CaraReinard. This book is full of secrets, lies and hidden pasts and it was a wild roller coaster of a ride. Rowans husband, Wyatt has come home after being missing for seven days. She immediately notices things aren't normal, especially the big scar on his side. Rowan takes her son, Landon to see The Liberty Bell and is taken right from under her nose. Will all her secrets be discovered and can she get Landon back before its too late?

This book has my worst fear come true- waking up in a bathtub with your kidney removed!
This is what happens when Wyatt goes to Mexico City for business. When he comes home, things go from bad to worse when his son goes missing. This book was very far-fetched which made it more realistic if that makes sense. The ending annoyed me but I understand why it played out the way it did.
I stayed up late to finish this book. I’m looking forward to more books by Cara Reinard. Many thanks to the author, Bookouture and NetGalley for a complimentary copy of the book. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Thank you @bookouture & @carareinard @netgalley for my complimentary copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

Rawan is a devoted wife and mother who struggles with the complexities of her seemingly perfect life with her handsome husband, Wyatt. While managing the challenges of raising their young son and preparing for another child amidst Wyatt's frequent absences, she strives to cherish their suburban existence. However, upon Wyatt's return after a week of silence, she senses an unsettling change. Despite his explanations—his phone being stolen and the fatigue from travel—she cannot shake the feeling that something is amiss, especially with the mysterious scar that has appeared on his body. As her intuition whispers of betrayal, she is haunted by a deeper fear: that Wyatt may uncover her own dark secret which threatens to shatter their idyllic life and put their family in great danger.

MY THOUGHTS: I believe it’s best for readers to approach this fast paced narrative without any prior knowledge, so I don’t want to reveal too much. I will say that this clever story captivated me from the very start and kept me engaged throughout. It is filled with significant surprises! Dive into this if you enjoy suspense, unexpected twists, and unreliable characters.

“Sometimes when you’re dealing with bad people… you become bad people"

I really enjoyed reading this but honestly hated the main characters. which, in my case, was totally fine. After all, I enjoyed reading and seeing what was happening in their lives, but honestly, the characters themselves weren't likable. Have you ever heard that phrase, "Couldn't have happened to a nicer person "' , this was my sentiment about these characters. Honestly, I felt more sympathy towards the kids and the "bad guy," then I did the main couple.

This was my second book by Reinard, and I don't think it will be my last.


I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley & Bookouture for the chance to read this book!

I absolutely loved this book, devoured it from the moment I opened it I was hooked!! I would have never thought that's the story I was getting from the synopsis of this story on the NetGalley website! I'm so glad I trusted Bookouture, who are easily becoming my new favorite book publishers! This is a VERY fast paced 5 star read for me, and I will absolutely be coming back to read more of this Author's books in the future! That was a much needed wild ride!

Rowan is furious that her husband, Wyatt, has to travel abroad for business. Wyatt continues his plans, despite her protests. Tragically, a single, fateful decision during his trip alters the course of his life forever. Rowan’s agitation intensifies when she not only can’t reach Wyatt but also receives a call from his employer informing her that he has been injured.

Rowan and Wyatt are parents to a four-year-old son, Landon, and are expecting their second child. Rowan yearns for Wyatt’s return home to restore normalcy. However, even upon returning home, his experience has left him a broken man, certain to have a profound impact on their marriage.

Their son Landon’s subsequent disappearance further exacerbates their strained relationship, shedding light on their less-than-ideal marriage.

The story takes a darker turn as Wyatt’s experiences abroad persist. For the sake of their son and while wishing for his safe return, a united front is crucial. This couple’s situation suggests that their marriage may be beyond repair.

Beyond its surface-level drama, this novel delves into a profound and thought-provoking subject, one that I found new and intriguing as I read it.

Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

Thanks for letting me read this. The book was about a topic I find interesting; sale of organs. This is something you know happens, and certainly than you think. The book is also about the family and how far one is willing to go to save one's family.

I think the end was a bit abrupt, I would have liked a few extra pages. So we got to see how things went a few months/years later.

Reinard writes a fast paced, on the edge of your seat, keep you guessing, refreshing thriller. There is so much happening and so much action that will keep you turning page after page until you all of a sudden realize that you have finished the book! This book is chock full of drama, secrets, and lies. Just when you think it’s only Wyatt that is hiding secrets and lying, all of a sudden you find out that Rowen has secrets as well! Some of the characters are not what they seem, it really is just a very twisty book!

I will say that this book should come with a trigger warning for organ harvesting and child abduction. However, these things really happen, so while this is an entertaining thriller, I do think that it touches on a subject that isn’t talked about much.

Anyway, thriller lovers are going to love this book. The ending is literally unguessable. So, go ahead, I dare you! Pick this up, read it, and try to figure it all out!

Never Come Back by Cara Reinard is another page-turner thriller that kept me glued to my Kindle.
The characters were great, the story was very suspenseful and the style of writing was perfect.
This is a tightly written story, with well developed characters and enough suspense to keep you reading.
A quick and fun read that I finished in a few hours.
A well written suspense filled with twists that kept me hooked from the very beginning.

This book was insane. I read it within 24 hours and enjoyed every minute of it. There were so many twists and turns and I did not see some of the twists coming. I felt like the ending was very fitting for everyone, although I would have like a "1 year later" style epilogue to see where evryone ended up.

A story that will grab you off page one. The story moved in ways I never seen coming. A great domestic thriller.

Disclosure: Thank you, @netgalley and @bookouture, for the opportunity to read and review this book.

As a wife and a mother, the Never Come Back book sucked me in right away. It was an entertaining book from start to finish. Some sections had a good bit of repetition, but it did not distract from reading enjoyment.

I was eager to find out the outcome of this story. I wanted to know if they were all reunited or not. If I had the time, I would have devoured this book more quickly. As it stood, I read it on my phone and my iPad every chance. I forgot all about having the ability to switch it to being read to me as I did other things. (I’m going to have to use that feature more!)

You will enjoy Never Come Back if you like thrillers and family-drama stories.

This was an exciting book. So much so that I had the NetGalley app read me the ebook when I had to put my kindle down to do other things yesterday. I read the whole thing in one afternoon.

There was a lot of surprises in this book. Rowan seems very dependent on her husband, like she’s not whole when he’s away. Wyatt has a lot of secrets he keeps from his wife, and she surprisingly has some of her own too. Wyatt’s biggest secret follows him home from his last business trip, and it puts his family at risk. Wyatt and Rowan are both willing to do anything to save their son.

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for my ARC of this book.

This is a unique and unusual storylinE that drew me in from the start. Lots of drama and a book well worth reading
Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC

What an incredible dark and twisted, albeit addictive, story from Cara Reinard!

Rowan and Wyatt are married, unhappily, with a 4 year old son, Landon, and another baby on the way. Rowan wants Wyatt to spend more time at home whilst Wyatt enjoys the challenge a new job brings therefore changes jobs regularly. Wyatt often has to travel for his work where he is involved in start-up tech companies, he moves from job to job as he loves the start-up process but gets bored by the time the launch occurs. This latest trip for him is to New Mexico and Rowan gets anxious every time he leaves. However, on the first night of his work trip an incident occurs to Wyatt which Rowan is informed of by his company, the details are vague, and she is worried sick being unable to contact him for a few days. The relief she gets when he finally gets in touch with her is short lived; he tells her he was mugged but when he returns home to Rowan and Landon, he is a different man to the one who left days earlier. Wyatt has his secrets but then so does Rowan. Then both their worlds tilt when on a day trip out with Rowan, Landon goes missing, and their worst fears are confirmed when CCTV footage shows someone actively luring Landon away and kidnapping him. Whose secrets have caught up with them, Rowan or Wyatts?! Or is there something darker at play?

Crikey, as I said above, this was one dark story but extremely addictive. I was constantly saying to myself, “just one more page” or “just one more chapter”. I have to admit I didn’t really like the characters of Rowan or Wyatt, but this didn’t ruin the enjoyment of the story at all. The beginning was a little slow while setting the scene but intriguing all the same and by about 30% in I was addicted to see what would happen next. I definitely did not see the dark direction the story headed and even though I know this book is fictional I did find it interesting to learn more about the dark subject matter in question (sorry this is a little mysterious but this is a no spoiler review so I can’t give too much away without there being a spoiler). I thought the twist in chapter 37 was brilliant and I didn’t see it coming however I did guess the one further on but again, this didn’t ruin the story for me, and I was more excited that I had figured that one out when the first one really blindsided me.

This was my second book by Cara Reinard, and it was just as good as the pervious one I read written by her (The Clinic). I would definitely recommend this one for any psychological thriller fans and I look forward to seeing what Cara Reinard writes next. A well deserved 4 star rating.

Thank you to NetGalley, Cara Reinard and Bookouture for my advanced reading copy. Out now.

Never Come Back by Cara Reinard is a complex thriller that will keep you engaged from the start. What starts out as a business trip to Mexico City to roll out new software and set up a center, turns into a nightmare for Wyatt. After having a drink at a rooftop bar with a beautiful woman named Esme, Wyatt wakes up in a bathtub with a nasty incision in his stomach. The doctor explains that his kidney has been removed, and while crimes like this are rare they do happen and they rarely get reported. Knowing his wife Rowan would be furious and divorce him, Wyatt chooses only to tell Rowan that he was attacked and mugged. When Wyatt returns home he is hiding both his emotional scars and his physical one, choosing to keep Rowan in the dark about his ordeal. But what happens when their young son Landon is taken from the museum while with Rowan? Who has taken him and why? Soon they realize that this was all a carefully thought out plan and everyone is keeping secrets.
This was a wild ride! A very interesting and original plot, well thought out characters (even if some were not very likable) and plenty of tension really made this book engaging. The suspense and the depths of the secrets are brilliant. Just when I thought I had one part figured out another twist was thrown at me. Definitely going to check out more by Cara Reinard!
Thank you to NetGalley, Cara Reinard, and Bookouture for this ARC. Expected release date is February 11th 2025.

I didn’t see much of the plot unfolding the way it did and the extensive outreach it had.
There are some grisly trafficking that goes on and it makes me want to never travel again.
Rowan was a lot of things but none of it made her a good person. She had anger issues and control issues and if I were Wyatt I wouldn’t have come back.
This book packs a punch for suspense and lots of people lying!!

I received an ARC copy of this book, and this is my honest, unbiased opinion. I found the plot unique and original. Delving into family history and drama made this feel new and refreshing compared to other books in the genre, which often feel very formulaic. However, I felt a little disappointed and underwhelmed because, despite such a unique approach, I wished I could connect with the characters. I found the twists and ending to be unpredictable and unexpected. But all in all, this was a good book. 4 stars.
