Prompt: APPLE OF MY EYE - SPOILED

Ethan was a bullied child and Sammy was a coddled, “spoiled child” who was the bully.

Unexpected twists and turns.

Pulls you in and keeps you guessing along with the characters.

You won‘t want to stop reading because of the subject matter and because of the way the book is set up.  5/5

FULL REVIEW: https://tinyurl.com/3s4shxx6

Compelling and twisty, a story about a kidnapped child, from two different mother‘s POV‘s...with two separate narrators for each...except a small chapter from the kidnapped child‘s POV...which was actually my favorite POV. I think I would‘ve liked more from Ethan since he was by far the smartest out of all the characters, he was like a little MacGuyver.

Gah! This book was so good! I listened to the first half on audio, but found myself getting into the story more once I switched over to the physical book. This is another one towards #TheUnreadShelfProject, and number 224 for the year.

@Graciouswarriorprincess

Here‘s my estimate for the first day of the #27Hours7Days Readathon. To be honest, it was probably more than that, but it‘s hard to say without a timer. I finished my #BookSpin pick yesterday, along with 10 children‘s books from the #1001ChildrensBooks list, and 16 comics for my #100GNsin2020 goal. It was a great day for reading, and I can only hope I can carry on with this momentum. 💙

I realized during the climax of the book that I‘ve read this before. Maybe it says something for the book that I remembered nothing until the end? It‘s a story about a boy who‘s kidnapped, told from 2 pov. (Also, I don‘t think the author is familiar with children. The 8 yr old boy is described as being very small for his age, and then that he weighs 90 lbs. My small 8 yr old weighs maybe 60 lbs soaking wet; my 5‘ 15 yr old tops out at 95. So.)

This book was admittedly a let down. It had such promise in subject matter and with a personal connection to the author. I really wanted to like the book, but found myself bored, losing whatever minor interest I gained every time a chapter ended & the narrator changed. Very predictable & disappointing.

@minkyb oops, forgot to post when this one arrived because I was so obsessed with finishing Educating Alice. Looking forward to reading this #lmpbc pick and yes, I adore tea! Thanks so much for all these yummy tea treats!! #groupS

Going to start this new book tonight. I know this is weird but seriously love the cover. I‘m always drawn to a book by a good cover. 👍🏻👍🏻

On the way to you @minkyb ! I did not use media mail this time since it took sooooo long last time - it should arrive to you on Monday! 🎉🎉

This book started out as a pick for sure ... but it lost some of the build up for me near the end. It was predictable and a little too cheesy for me. I do enjoy the author‘s writing style and would like to read more by her! I will be mailing to you soon @minkyb and hopefully it arrives much faster than the last one!! #lmpbc

My view this afternoon trying to finish up my #lmpbc book

This is the first day I sat down with a book to relax and read since ??? We‘ve been so busy moving stuff (and I don‘t know how long I‘ll sit until I get up to do more work!), but I needed a little recharge. Working on my #lmpbc !!

I‘m really excited that @Kappadeemom picked this for #lmpbc because I have been wanting to read it for ages!

Perfectly paced, no sense of feeling contrived, really good. The final chapter added a lot. I didn‘t find the chicken bone analogy to be resonant. I wish something more had happened btw two of the characters. No spoilers here. ;) Solid suspense. Interesting characters and plot. Definitely recommend.

A child goes missing on a school camping trip. Set in Dahlonega, GA, a beautiful part of my state ❣️

The best suspense thriller I have read in a long time. It was a constant burn to turn the pages with slowly revealing more. Highly recommend.

I just started Three Days Missing by Kimberley Belle and I can‘t put it down! I highly recommend this book because it really captures the essence of a mother‘s protective nature and love towards her children. As I was reading I wanted to hug Kathryn (protagonist) and console her. This book contains one sensitive topic: Divorce. Enjoy!!!

a suspense with a few twists and turns makes for an easy and quick listen! #audiobook

Holy roller coaster ride... the ups and the down, the twists and the turns are amazing in this book. And I must say that Belle is a master at the last page bombshell!!

Three days missing is every mother‘s worst nightmare. Two families lives become entwined when an 8 yr old boy goes missing on an overnight school field trip. To make matters worse no one saw or heard anything. The clock is ticking....
Don‘t wait! Stop at your nearest bookstore or library and snag this fast paced, well executed suspenseful mystery.
Three days missing by Kimberly Belle is a page turner. I couldn‘t put this book down.

It‘s was a gorgeous evening to read on the back patio. Lots of shade and a nice breeze.

1.) My daughters. They are everything and during summer my days are completely about them.
2.) school clothes shopping with my girls (only 3 more weeks of summer break)
3.) dairy
4.) 🏕👩‍👦😱
5.) thankfully, I have not.

Woa!! 5 ☆ for a thriller definitely worth the read, it kept me in suspense to it‘s very end.
One child is taken while another was the intended victim, meanwhile two mothers are shocked + desperate for answers to solve the puzzle. One mother is struggling to make ends meet while the other has it all.. but you never know what‘s going on in another persons life behind closed doors.. or exactly who you can trust!!

So excited my holds came in. #libraryhaul
Starting off with Three Days Missing, a #blameitonlitsy pick — A school-sponsored camping trip.. a couple dozen 8yr olds away from home for the 1st time with limited supervision. Potential for trouble? I‘d say yes! From the author of The Marriage Lie.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for THREE DAYS MISSING! Read my full review *without spoilers* on my blog!

I predicted the end almost immediately, but I still liked it. A solid mystery/thriller that kept me engaged until the end.

Another suspenseful novel by Kimberly Belle! At times, I wanted it to move along, but it all comes together for an interesting and action filled ending. 🖤🖤🖤🖤

“Dreams don‘t die as much as they fade into the background.” #threedaysmissing #currentread 🇺🇸

Too many good ones in my #librarystack right now! Going to start this one! #amreading

Different POV‘s from two women leading very different lives. One of their sons went missing while on a school camping trip but was the other child the intended victim. Quick and engaging read-not super twisty in my opinion but entertaining nonetheless.

So for whatever reason my library didn‘t post the new releases on Tuesday so I have been checking it often (more than any normal person would) and was able to grab all three of these today! 🤗

The thriller we all have been waiting for is here.

THREE DAYS MISSING by Kimberly Belle.

THREE DAYS MISSING moved at as frantic a pace as the search. Ms. Belle left us hanging at the end of each chapter with a clue that wasn't revealed until another chapter.

Stop by my blog tomorrow for the full review of THREE DAYS MISSING. :)

@kimberlysbelle

"I think about Ethan climbing onto the bus at school, my mind already flitting to my endless to-do list at work, & my stomach aches. I see myself standing on the sidewalk, waving...I couldn‘t even tell if he was waving back, or...if it was even Ethan. I just picked out 1 shadowy lump & waved & waved & waved, because the sooner that bus left, the sooner I could race off to work.The last time I saw Ethan, I didn‘t see him at all." #MountTBR

Kat Jenkins never thought that her son would go missing when she sent him off on a sleep-away school trip, but her darkest nightmare becomes a reality.

As the search for her son continues, Kat meets Stef, another mother who proves to have unexpected ties to her son's disappearance. Finding out that the two can only trust each other, Kat and Stef do everything in their power to bring young Ethan home before it's too late.

This thriller is filled with so many twists and turns that all of your expectations are going to be left in the dust. When a nine-year-old boy goes missing, two mothers from separate worlds are drawn together in a desperate race against the clock to find answers...

Wowza!! A #onesittingread completely!! From the very first pages, this fast-paced thriller doesn‘t let go!! I stayed up WAY too late finishing this- and I don‘t regret it at all!! My first experience with the author but certainly not my last after this!!!

Three Days Missing by Kimberly Belle. When you do your little happy dance, because you are so excited about your book mail! Not only is @kimberlysbelle a amazing author, she is also the sweetest! I can‘t wait to start this one!
