Nilufer Ozmekik's Reviews > And Now She's Gone

Yoowza ! This is outstanding, powerful, twisty, riveting, surprising and absolutely unputdownable! I have to admit I wish this book wasn’t a standalone because I’ll be so pleased to read more adventures of Grayson Skies. I hope the author reconsider to write more books with this memorable character.

This is a remarkable story of broken, abused, neglected souls: Grayson Skies is a private investigator with troubled past, abused by a monster calls himself husband dearest for years. Now she has a clean slate, working on a case of Isabel Lincoln: a missing woman with troubled past and rumored to be abused by her boyfriend. As you continue to read two women’s back stories, you start to see the similarities: they are both beaten, humiliated and abandoned. They eventually do whatever it takes to survive! But are their stories really similar or there are some missing pieces don’t fit the entire puzzle properly.

Grayson is at the edge of breakdown, drinking too much, always looking over her shoulder to make sure she’s not followed, carrying mace, sleeping with a gun under her pillow and as she continues digging more about Isabel’s past, she brings out more dirty secrets and twisty facts which she never expected to find. And of course getting a text message from monster husband dearest who finally found her whereabouts makes things more complicated.

I’m stopping right now and I highly recommend you to read this book and enjoy all those jaw dropping, mind blowing, nail biter, head spinning, entertaining moments.

My spidey senses worked overtime to guess the final twist: it was really well-played and great one!

Overall: Well-developed, emotionally layered characterization, gripping, thrilling story telling skills and absolutely satisfying conclusion earned well-deserved five stars and shiny place at the my top ten thrillers of 2020! I TRULY LOVED IT!

My tbr turned into a Godzilla: it gets more humongous and threatening at each second because I already feed it with several books of this author!

Special thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan/ Tor- Forge for sharing this incredible Arc with me and introduce me this fantastic author. I’m looking forward to read more works of her.
