Thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for this ARC. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This book was good, but there were some things I'd have changed. I liked that we saw the raw feelings of the fathers. That was something you don't see often in books like this, and I appreciated that. The fathers were so wholesome and wonderful. Although the fathers were going through difficult times, they were still able to rediscover things about themselves, especially Todd, and what he went through in his own childhood. I loved, loved Ron's selfless love for his daughter, it was beautiful. I liked the team Ron and Todd made and the friendship they found.

I liked the kidnapping of girls of different races, but the plot was just undeveloped. The case felt like it was slapdash and rushed. For tbe better part of the case, nothing was gained. I just kept going round and round and I was annoyed because there was no lead, absolutely none in the book. It wasn't until 90% of the book that a substantial lead was found. Moreover, this is a serial kidnapping case, they should have found a link sooner. When they finally apprehended the perp, there was nothing about why he did what he did and his history. I waited that long for the revelation of the perp and I didn't really get anything. So, I was disappointed in the solving of the crime. I'd have also loved more of the police officers' POVs

I also liked the duo of Jennifer and Rebecca, they were becoming friends just as their fathers were too. Both of them and the other girls too were really brave to have experienced what they did and they were able to come through. I was glad for them.
