The Missing Piece: A Mystery Novel
— Blade-thin is the line between love and obsession —
When Olivia meets Liam, who’s out celebrating—having just passed the bar—she feels an immediate connection, and it seems that the stars have finally aligned. Years later, they get married and start their happily ever after.
However, after taking on a big case with his law firm, Liam becomes increasingly distant. Could it be that there’s something more than work that’s been keeping him out all night? His best friend Scott is eager to convince her that the secretary is playing two roles.
As a detective, Olivia’s father is more than happy to investigate the matter, but the truth is far more sinister than imagined.
Someone dangerous—deft and dark—is following Olivia, whose once ideal existence soon will shatter into countless pieces. Suddenly Liam disappears which only marks the mystery’s commencement . . .
With a shadowy stalker sending her threatening messages, and no clues as to her husband’s whereabouts, Olivia can only seek refuge on the island where she spent her childhood. There, with new alliances, she may just have a chance to put the pieces together—before it’s too late.
-----
Agripping tale of love, loss, and terror, The Missing Piece delivers a white-knuckle ride through every known emotion . . . culminating in dual endings. Pick your path wisely: there’s no turning back.

GENIUS!!!
Super fast paced and involved story that makes it impossible to put down! Trust me on this one! I read it cover to cover in one setting!
And I’m not one to give away the best parts of the story, but for the author to give us an option at the end was amazing! I’ve never read a book where I can choose the ending! Now I will be honest and say that while I did choose a certain ending to read first, I absolutely had to very quickly read the second ending as well. And in all honesty, the first ending was my favorite.
Great job to the author and I can’t wait to see what she releases next!

Thank you NetGalley for this eARC.
This book was a great and quick read. I haven’t read a choose your ending in a long time. There is a lot of twists and turns to keep you engaged throughout the book. I recommend this to anyone who loves a good suspense book.

“This piece was vital to complete the picture-perfect puzzle and memory.”
In "The missing piece” we will meet Olivia and Liam who are a married couple, but Liam becomes distant after taking on a big case. Everything becomes more complicated when Olivia begins to be followed by a dangerous stalker, and when Liam goes missing, she’ll try to piece together what happened to her husband before it's too late.
What an emotionally satisfying read! This was the first book by Hiliary Amanda that I've read now…and it won't be my last! Definitely recommended to anyone who enjoys thrillers books. A story full of secrets, lies, love, loyalty, forgiveness, family and bonds. What will happen when all is revealed and there's nothing to hide behind anymore?
The writing style of the book is engaging and the pacing is well-constructed. The tension builds slowly but surely, with the tension escalating in the second half of the novel. The characters are very well developed, I enjoyed each character for their own unique qualities but my favorite was Olivia, I think I connected more with her, she’s a great character.
One of the things that I liked the most about the book is that it has a dual ending, and you can choose how you want the story of Olivia and Liam to end, personally I found that very original and special, I had never read anything like this before, also the It makes it very interactive by giving us options.
It is a well-crafted mystery novel that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end. A 5 STARS READ.

A masterful mystery / suspense that explores the dark side of love and obsession. The author's prose is gripping and evocative, and the characters are complex and fully realized. The plot is expertly crafted, and the tension builds steadily throughout the book. This is a must-read for anyone who loves a good psychological suspense and a powerful reminder of the enduring power of love and the human spirit.

I truly loved this book.
Before I started this review much thought went into the rating. This was a great book and I really enjoyed it, until the ending. Don't worry about me spoiling by revealing the ending because there is no ending. I almost gave the book a 2 stars rating due to no ending, but the book up to that point was great. I will probably not read another book by this author because I was so disappointed at the end or lack thereof.

duel ending
This is my first book with a dual ending and I’m glad I had the option because if I had been stuck with just one over the other, I don’t know how I would have handled that situation. This was a very fast paced page, turning thriller that I could not put down, I have finished this book in one sitting. It was fantastic!
