The Disappearing by Lori Roy

Thank you to Netgalley and Dutton Books for a copy of the eARC in exchange for a fair review. 

Lane is back in her home town of Waddell, and her father is under fire for his role in the boys' school that he ran. But what is even more worrisome is that Susannah has disappeared and no one seems to know what happened to her. They all wonder if has to do with what happened when Lane disappeared as a child.

However, when Annalee disappears one night, Lane becomes frantic to find her daughter and little does she know the truth about what happened to her, the boys' school and her father are all wrapped up together. Lane joins the search with her old boyfriend Mark. Soon they uncover that Annalee was still seeing Jimmie, and that perhaps Talley (Lane's youngest daughter might know more than the rest of them).

As always I am vague, I have to say that I stuck with this book when they mentioned the boys' school. I listened to a podcast not too long that was on that topic.  I am sorry I don't remember the name, although to be honest I thought it was closed by the 90s, but I could be wrong. I was interested to see how the author would tie it all together.

Honestly, I am not sure I love the results. It was intriguing, but I am not sure the way the story flowed appealed to me. The subject matter, and the plot where what kept me going. It had a few point of views, and it was third person which I am not a fan of. And the reveal actually really didn't shock me too much, I think I was more shocked at who got away with what then I was by who actually did it. So it had things going for it, and it had things that did not help at all.

    You made some decent points there. I checked on the internet for more information about the issue and
    found most individuals will go along with your views on this website.

It's Chloe Neill Day!!!

Chloe Neill is with us today and she has graciously answered a few of the questions that you all submitted to her. 1. Is there a chance of a spin off series that focuses on the next generation of these characters? I have many ideas for book series of all varieties, but there are no concrete plans at this time. There will be 13 Chicagoland Vampires books and at least 3 Devil's Isle books. 2: Does Merit have shifter blood in her lineage? Nope! She was entirely human before becoming a vampire. 3: Does Mallory become an Ombusdman in this book or is she still going to become connected to House Cadogen as discussed in House Rules? Mallory is not an Ombudsman employee, and she doesn't work for Cadogan House. She does volunteer for both. 4: Midnight Marked is the second to last book in the Chicagoland Vampire Series. How do you feel about being so close to end of their story? I'll begin writing the last Chicagoland Vampires novel very soon (probably

Graveyard Shift misses the mark.

Graveyard Shift by Angela Roquet             All that I can say about this book can be summed up in one succinct statement, so much wasted potential. Lana is a low-risk grim reaper from Eternity. In this setting all of the gods are included from Egyptian to Christian. Interesting right? Yes it is except the representative of Christian heaven is a drunk archangel Gabriel, which I am not really offended by just not excited that most of the gods are semi sort of flattering portrayals’ while a mostly unflattering one is portrayed for Christians. I like the concept she is going with an acceptance and togetherness. The souls are marked for their own destinations based on beliefs, I just felt that she didn’t quite achieve what she was going for unless she wanted Christians to be represented by a drunk archangel and kind of look like fools then I would say mission accomplished. As for why the rest of it fell flat I would say that she put so much in there that it became a little conf
