REVIEW: The Nature of Disappearing

 The Nature of Disappearing
Author: Kimi Cunningham Grant


I can't even imagine what it would be like to have a friend or family member disappear. The feeling of absolute need to search for them.....the fear that they may be injured or even dead.....the pain of not knowing. Some friends/families never find out what happened to their loved one. I guess I can be glad that I just have to imagine what it would be like. So many actually go through this sort of life-changing event. 

When I read the book blurb for this novel by Kimi Cunningham Grant, I knew I needed to read this story! Take a disappearance, add in past relationship drama, a dose of fear and suspicion, and a healthy bit of reckoning/acceptance/dealing with the past.....and you get a suspense novel like this one! The story quickly morphed into something so much greater than searching for a lost friend.

I enjoyed this book from the first word to the last! I actually ended up binge reading this one, because I couldn't put it down! I wasn't sure how the story was going to end.....which made it an awesome emotional trip. I liked the main character...so strong and capable yet still trying to get a grip on her life and move on from her past. I love how the plot centers around the disappearance of a basically estranged friend.....and how events lead Emlyn to face her demons, past and present. 

 I love books that make me feel all the feels -- I had a wide range of emotions while soaking in this story. Fear, anger, hope, sadness, happiness......and when I finally got to the end, I had to sit and just digest about how I felt about the story as a whole. It's awesome when a book has that sort of a hold on me! Lovely reading experience!

Great book! I look forward to reading more from this author!
