Review:

My First Nora Roberts Novel—and Absolutely Not My Last!

Talk about an unforgettable introduction. After single-handedly taking down three men targeting innocent hikers, Sloan McBride is riding high—until fate throws her into the eye of a storm. She strolls into a convenience store and, in a flash, is caught in a robbery. One heartbeat later, she’s on the floor—shot, her life teetering between worlds.

Revived in a hospital and faced with a grueling recovery, Sloan’s world crumbles. Not only is she physically incapacitated, but she's forced to return to her parents' home for support—just in time to be abandoned emotionally as well. Her boyfriend cruelly dumps her while she lies in a hospital bed fighting for her life.

Looking for purpose amid the wreckage, Sloan plunges into a chilling mystery. A woman has vanished without a trace, leaving only her car behind. That single thread unravels into a tapestry of disappearances across multiple states. The victims? No pattern. No predictability. Young, old, male, female—all gone.

Enter a new partnership and an unexpected spark. Sloan teams up with a man who shares her relentless drive to uncover the truth, and together they dive headlong into a case that defies logic and demands answers.

Now, let’s talk character depth—Roberts delivers it in spades. The emotional layers, the nuance, the authenticity? Absolutely gripping. This novel blends romance, suspense, and family drama with such finesse it leaves you breathless.

And the audiobook? Flawless. The narrator nails every mood swing, every eerie twist, sending chills down my spine in all the right places.

Highly recommended. Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the opportunity to experience this wild, unmissable ride.
