This was a book that starts within the first few pages and really had me gripped. There was a few unexpected parts and others I felt I was aware of but I didn’t expect the ending and that always gives me some satisfaction. My first by this author and I look forward to reading more. Great writing. Thanks for the early access!

Although this author has written a fair amount of books already, or me he is a new author. I am looking forward to familiarise myself with his style and story telling.

The worst nightmare a parent can go through is realising their child has gone missing. At first you might still hope they are pranking you, hiding somewhere and you hope you will hear them giggling when you come closer to their hiding place. But when you don't hear those noises and you have looked everywhere, you know you are living your darkest nightmare. 

The only thing any parent would do next is to call the police, but not Elizabeth...

As soon as you read the first page, you know what is going to happen and the tension builds.. You feel the desperation radiating from Elizabeth when she does everything she can to try and find her young daughter.

With each chapter Elizabeth's anxiety grows and you cannot help but to feel for her while your brain does overtime in trying to find out who is behind this scheme.

 Just when you think you have seen the light , another revelation leaves you speechless.

A must-read for those who love books that make your head spin, your heart beat faster and your emotions run high. 5 stars

Thank you

How could Hollie have passed by me and gotten out the door? She had on a huge butterfly costume that was hard to miss.

When Elizabeth realized her daughter was missing, she frantically looked everywhere in the school but found nothing.

Sooo...why won't she call the police to help with her daughter's disappearance?

What does Elizabeth have to hide?

And then onto the scene came Sasha, Elizabeth's sister. She is wicked and evil.

MY DAUGHTER IS MISSING got quite violent and v iscious once Sasha arrived.

I wanted to tell Elizabeth to stop pretending Hollie is ok and get the police involved.

It is a tense, nerve wracking read that could have been shorter and less brutal, but the storyline will keep you turning the pages because you have to find out what is going on. 4/5

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

My Daughter Is Missing by JD Kirk is my first read from this author, but it will certainly not be my last.

Elizabeth adores her nine year old daughter Hollie and would do anything to protect her. When Hollie goes missing from a Halloween party at her school, Elizabeth commits to do everything she can to find her precious girl. Everything, that is, except go to the police.

I loved the building of suspense and frantic tension as Elizabeth searches for her daughter, all while desperately trying to protect her own secrets. This one is dark, deceptive, and diabolical, and I loved every word of it.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for an ARC.

I'm not so sure about this one. It started out good, then it got too gory and I lost interest. This book covers a lot of weird topics: lots of murder and assault, sexual bondage, kidnapping, psychotic sisters. When Hollie goes missing from a school Halloween party, Elizabeth calls on her sister Sasha to help her. Lots of secrets come out: what happened to Liz's first husband, who the new teachers at school are, what her boyfriend Clive is hiding. It is almost like there were too many dark plots here in this book. I can't say I enjoyed it overall. Cut out some of the dark gory scenes, and maybe this would be a better book.

Great book. The worst feeling in the world is when your child goes missing. Nine year old Hollie goes missing and her mother has secrets. Will this family have a happy ending? Read on and find out.
