S sister when he receives a phone call Someone has seen Layla But is it her – or someone pretending to be her? If it is her what does she want? And what does she know about the night she disappeared 25 StarsAfter having LOVED this author’s past two novels it pains me that I cannot say I loved this one as well But I can say some other stuff so here goesI’ll start with the positive because life is good When I open a BA Paris novel I know I’m about to be put under her spell I’m ready to be completely transported into the life of a slightly repulsive human who starts reading with the sun and doesn’t stop until she looks up and realizes an entire day has ended with her still in the same pajamas that may or may not have the telltale stains of vanilla flavored coffee binging Blame it on BA Because Bring Me Back was no exception on that front As expected I couldn’t put this book down despite it not being particularly fast paced There’s something about this author’s storytelling that is so compelling and easy to digest Simple yet forceful and imaginative Not every story is going to work for every reader What didn’t uite work for me was the actual content of this oneAlthough wonderfully conveyed the plot itself didn’t hold much intrigue The characters never seemed to come to life I felt as though we were only shown outlines and whispers of what was intended to be a solid complex cast I wanted to know them better each of them but never got the chance Much of the story felt like a wild mental goose chase circling around the same issue without much progression or variety The “twist” didn’t pack too much of a punch which isn’t always a bad thing but certainly would have brought power to the read in this case There also seemed to be a lot of “telling” and not enough showing I wanted to see events unfoldfor myself rather than being told what took place All of that said I read this in less than 24 hours which is rare and a solid testament to this author’s capabilities True talent and I look forward to Thanks a bunch for the digital copy Dearest Netgalley

Bring Me BackEs later Layla has vanished never to be seen again That’s the story Finn tells the police It’s the truth – but not the whole truthTwelve years later Finn has built a new life with Ellen Layla’ Please don't hate me I have mad respect for BA Paris; I felt her debut novel Behind Closed Doors was a forerunner in the domestic abuse thriller genre and I think the uality of her writing is incredible Unfortunately this one was just too over the top for meLike a few other people have mentioned previously I was gripped and fully invested during Part One I did find I had already guessed initially where Part Two was going but wanted to keep an open mind I didn't find the characters particularly likable or well developed; this is a short novel focused on moving the plot along and not particularly on character development but Paris kept me turning the pages and unable to put the book downIt had started going downhill in Part Two for me but where the story really lost me was Part Three The twist is simultaneously one that has been done before many times in many ways yet also one that is so far fetched and wackadoodle that there is no way it could be remotely plausible This may be due to the fact that I've read so many thrillers; someone who is newer to the genre and a little less jaded will likely take to the twist much graciously than I was able to In short the pages were easy to turn but in the end I can't say that I enjoyed this one I'm still on board the author's fan train and will eagerly await her next novel 3 I received a copy for review via the publisher
