5.27.2017 - Here and Gone

Here and Gone by Haylen Beck

Thanks so much to NetGalley, Crown Publishing and Haylen Beck for the opportunity to read and review this book!

This was a great fast-paced thriller - another book that I just couldn't put down until I finished it. Audra is on the run from New York and an abusive husband to a new start in California with her two small children. She is pulled over by a sheriff in a small Arizona town and discovered to have marijuana in one of her boxes in the car. The sheriff arrests her, calling in a deputy to take the children to a safe place. While she is being processed into jail and asks about her children, the response is "What children?" The nightmare begins.

Audra has a history of drug and alcohol abuse. She left New York while being investigated by Child Protective Services. So when she tells the investigators that the sheriff and his deputy took her children, no one believes her. She even begins to doubt her own sanity.

This is a very suspenseful book, made more so by the scary reality of events. Highly recommended for a thrill ride!
