Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the arc. Honestly, it's hard to get into the story and was slow to start. Some of the characters are meh and forgettable whilst others are ok and are somewhat relatable but overall this is not entirely bad. You just have to stick with it til the last page to really appreciate it.

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Select for the ARC of this audiobook for my honest review

I feel like this was a predictable thriller but even so it hooked me the whole way through and I was so interested. I would recommend it and read it again. Well written, great characters and enjoyable!

Just when Sylvia thought she could finally move on, she finds herself dropped into a nightmare.

Twenty years after she testified against Rhett Cohen for her mother’s murder, Sylvia starts receiving anonymous letters claiming he’s innocent—each one more disturbing than the last.

When Rhett is released and a final letter arrives that says, “You’re next,” everything she thought she knew is thrown into question.

Is the real killer still out there… and is Sylvia their next target?

I absolutely LOVE having the opportunity to both read and listen to the same book. Each brings its unique perspective and experience. The audiobook for When I Disappear had a wonderful narrator who helped bring the suspense and intrigue to life.

This thrilling four star read released in January and is available in print and audiobook; it's also available to read for free through Kindle Unlimited - lots of ways to enjoy this one!

Huge thanks to NetGalley, Amanda McKinney, and Dreamscape Select for the advanced audiobook in exchange for a review.

Lost the audiobook when I had to reinstall my app so never got to listen to it. Will have to buy it.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* This was such a great read, it was so hard to put down! Would read it again and recommend

Thank you to Storm Publishing and Macmillan Audio for the digital and audio copies to review.

This was a quick and fun popcorn thriller that I enjoyed reading, and I am a fan of McKinney two books in. When I Disappear was fast paced but a little predictable. The audio was great, I enjoyed reading it this way and I finished this in one sitting.

4/5 stars
He spent twenty years in prison. She spent twenty years living a lie.
At 2:00 a.m. Sylvia Stone awakens to a letter on her doorstep suggesting the handsome carpenter, Rhett Cohen, who was convicted of murdering her mother twenty years earlier, is innocent. The anonymous letters continue, each one revealing details only the true killer would know, making Sylvia question her testimony years ago.
But as Rhett is released from prison, the fourth and final letter arrives with one chilling message: You’re next.
Then Sylvia disappears.
You may think you know how this story ends. Think again.

This is a really good audiobook. I liked the characters and the storyline. I couldn't see the ending coming and had a great time listening to this.

A whodunnit vibe in this one is real. If the man that went to prison for twenty five years for killing your mother is innocent, then who is the killer? This book will have you you on the edge of your seat, looking around every corner and continually trying to figure out whose guilty party is. Great thriller

Quick easy read that is hard to put down.

Characters were pretty interesting.

The relationship between Sylvia and Rhett is strange and I don’t understand how they were able to bond so quickly. That part wasn’t too believable.

The twist was a little predictable, definitely knew something wasn’t right.

Otherwise good read.

Thanks NetGalley for the copy.

3.5 stars

The premise of this book hooked me - he spent 20 years in jail for the murder of her mother based on her testimony. Now he is out and looking for vengeance and she is receiving mysterious letters on her doorstep in the middle of the night. Then she disappears.

I enjoyed so many parts of this book! The storyline was good, the twists were good (although I found them predictable) and it was a quick read. It kept my attention from beginning to end.

Where it didn't work for me was the pacing of the storytelling and some of the plot holes. There seemed to be some long drawn out plotlines that were then either dropped or wrapped up so quickly you almost missed it.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and will keep Amanda McKinney on my TBR!

Everything about this novel is over the top and hard to swallow, with the exception of the wonderful cat Daphne. Sylvia has a horrible relationship with her mother (and a secret dead twin), then she falls in love with her mom's murderer after 10 seconds of talking to him, and also gets kidnapped. If you are sensitive to animal violence beware as there is a (completely unnecessary) part with a dead cat in a barn too. I wanted to quit this novel, but pushed myself to finish because I was sure the ending would be a surprise and great twist, but I already figured it out and it was very disappointing.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and Storm publishing for my copy of this book.

Thank you Netgalley, Amanda Mckinney and Dreamscape Media for the audio Arc of When I Disappear
Narrated by Elise Roth

When I Disappear is a medium paced psychological thriller which keeps you engaged. I found the pacing and the character building well balanced and likeable. Our MC, Sylvia unlikeable to begin with but warmed to her as the story unfolded. The book itself was slightly less twisty than what I expected but didn't take away from the book as a whole.

Thank you Elise Roth for narrating this book. Her voice is a pleasure to listen to.

3.5 stars on Storygraph. 4 stars on other review sites

This was fantastic. I really enjoyed it and couldn’t stop listening. I was hooked from the first minute! The narration was wonderful. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this audiobook.

✨Arc Review ✨

Wow! Okay, so first of thank you to @netgalley and @amandamckinneyauthor

This was my first book by Amanda McKinney because the blurb just was so intriguing.

Rhett spent 20 years in jail for killing Sylvia Stone‘s mother, a murder he swears he didn’t commit.

Sylvia wakes up at 2 am to someone leaving an anonymous letter implying Rhett didn’t actually do it. The anonymous letters don’t stop there either. Every letter she receives has details from the case that only the actual killer would know. Once Rhett is released from prison, the last letter arrives telling Sylvia that she’s next!!! Her and Rhett try to work together to figure out who’s behind the letters before it’s too late. Time was not on their side as Sylvia disappears and Rhett is faced with the challenge of finding her and figuring out who actually killed her mother 20 years ago, all by himself.

There is so many twists and turns while this is being unraveled and it reminds me of a Freida McFadden thriller, you think you know, but you have no idea!

It was fast paced and kept me on the edge of my seat! I had suspected bits and pieces but wasn’t sure how it would all work itself out. I was pleased with how it was all wrapped up.

I definitely recommend this for thriller fans.

Sylvie's mother was brutally murdered 20 years ago and Sylvie's testimony put Rhett Cohen away. When Sylvie starts receiving cryptic notes on her doorstep suggesting Rhett may not be the killer, Sylvie questions everything she's ever believed. Very suspenseful and the ending was shocking. Great read.

20 years after Sylvia Stone's mother was murdered, Sylvia starts getting cryptic letters in the mail, including a threatening one that says "you are next." Around the same time, she learns that Rhett Cohen, who went to prison for the killing -- probably wrongfully so -- is now a free man who is looking to clear his name. Then, Sylvia goes missing...

This mystery/thriller is full of crazy twists and turns that I didn't expect, but there were almost too many and the story got a bit confusing. I managed to work out how things would end probably about midway through the book, so it is a bit predictable if you've read enough stories like this one. It's still entertaining, though.

The audiobook narration was alright, nothing special.

3.5 stars.

This murder mystery thriller has a clever plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The author does a great job of keeping you guessing, But the ending might be a bit predictable if you are an avid reader of the murder mystery genre. The characters are well-developed, making it hard to tell who's trustworthy. Overall, the audiobook is enjoyable, and the ending is satisfying.

Thank you #NetGalley for providing me with the free audiobook.

I really enjoyed this thriller, the differnt povs and the voices of the characters. I liked the story a good plot twist and good timing. I usually struggle to follow audiobooks with different characters but this one was easy to follow. I love the investigation part of it

After 20 years in prison for a crime he may not have committed, Rhett Cohen is released. Sylvia Stone starts receiving anonymous letters suggesting his innocence. As she begins to doubt her past testimony, Sylvia goes missing, leaving behind a chilling message that she might be the next target.

The book was engaging, and I finished it only a couple of sittings. The story was full of suspense, with twists that kept me guessing until the end. The main character was likable, and the multiple points of view added depth. The final chapters were especially satisfying, revealing key details that tied everything together.

What an interesting ending, I did think that might be the case at some point but dismissed it. This book definitely kept my attention.
