My Review

The suspense in Tracking the Missing beings from the first sentence builds tension the further along you read.

The bond between Michael and Tori seems so natural, it’s clear their relationship is pretty solid. I appreciate how Michael respects Tori’s need to handle things on her own yet is still there for her for support when she needs it. From the start, Michael seems like a real one. He’s one of those good guys that’s always doing the right thing and is there for you when you need him.

Being a mom of boys myself, I instantly identified with Tori and cannot imagine the absolute horror of your children being abducted. I also felt her feelings of always drawing the short stick on a visceral level, my heart aching right along with hers at all of the loss that she’s suffered.

This is a fairly generic story, but the characters help keep things interesting, not to mention the pair never seeming to catch a break. I was hoping for more twists that never came, and I wish the final “battle” would’ve had a little more intensity and not been concluded so quickly. We built up to this point the whole time, so I was hoping for a boom, but it was more like a quick pop.

Despite the busyness of the holiday season, I found this novel to be an easy and entertaining read that I could finish in one weekend and effortlessly enjoyed.

My Rating: ★★★★

About the Author

Sami A. Abrams grew up hating to read. It wasn't until her 30s that she found authors who captured her attention. Now, most evenings you can find her engrossed in a romantic suspense novel. In her opinion, a crime plus a little romance is the recipe for a great story. Sami lives in Northern California, but she will always be a Kansas girl at heart. She has a love of sports, family, and travel. However, a cabin at Lake Tahoe writing her next story is definitely at the top of her list.
