If I Disappear: A Domestic Thriller

by E.L. Faire

She only wanted to get away. Until she realized she no longer could.

Blake Wallace can’t wait to spend the weekend away from it all in a secluded, snowy cabin up in the mountains with her boyfriend and his friends.

Cozy fires and a little skiing? Yes, please. It pays to have friends with vacation homes.

But a sudden snowstorm traps the couple before anyone else shows up, just as Blake stumbles onto a puzzle left behind in an old guest book that starts, “If I disappear…”

Turns out, this cabin holds a lot of secrets, and one of them might be the key to a missing person case from three years ago.

But as the snow piles up and the supplies dwindle down, Blake begins to wonder if she and her boyfriend really are alone. Strange things keep happening, and nothing is adding up, including the way her boyfriend is acting.

Blake only knows one thing for sure. She needs to figure things out fast, or she might disappear, too.

A fast paced thriller that’s hard to put down! I had a fun time reading this! Perfect for snowy weather!

I’m kind of amazed I was able to finish this book…
This was a story, inside of a story, inside of a story, inside of ANOTHER STORY. And honestly, they weren’t good.
Wow. My brain literally hurts right now. I need to go take some Excedrine.

An ARC was provided in exchange for an honest review. This did not influence my thoughts in any way.

If I Disappear is a twisty suspense novel with an ending I didn't see coming. When Blake and her boyfriend Corbin get snowed in at his vacation cabin, all is not as it seems. Strange noises and Corbin's odd behavior put Blake on edge. I won't say more because the less you know going into it, the better. I really enjoyed this story.

The book was such a wild ride. The perspective bounces between two women: one is during the present day and is on a trip with her boyfriend. There's a snowstorm, the boyfriend's friends are not there like he said that they would, and she finds out that the missing girl she saw posted in the convenient store was last seen at the very cabin that they are staying. The second perspective flashes back in time to the perspective of the missing girl. While present day is finding out more clues and questions while searching the cabin, you're trying to figure out how the missing girl got from where she was at her new job to being missing in a cabin.

The twists in this story was amazing from start to finish. No one is who you think they are. The motives you find out is worth the suspense of waiting.

What a thrilling, terrifying, crazy story! I never saw the truth until the end. I felt sorry for Audrey as well as Blake. I couldn’t help being frightened for Blake. It was a fantastically written book. I look forward to reading more!

I sat down to read this book and before I knew it I was 40% of the way through. Short chapters which I love and at the end of each chapter it had you wanting to read what happens next. I didn't see any of the twists coming. I need more book from this author!

Thank you LibraryThing for the review copy.
This was an interesting read with a twist I didn't see coming.
The tension was great, the mystery intriguing and the conclusion an eye opener.

Great book

[Kim Langdon · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked the book overall but the ending was boring

[Levina Rad · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was a lot like “Never Lie” but the twist was good so 3 stars anyway

If I Disappear is a very fast-paced thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end. In her book, Faire writes about a woman named Blake who begins to unravel the truth about what happened to a woman who went missing three years prior from the same cabin she is staying in now.

As a thriller fan myself, I loved every second of this story. It was hard for me to put it down! Especially with all the twists and turns that made me crave just one more chapter. If you're looking for a thriller to binge read, If I Disappear is perfect for you.

I'm so happy I was chosen to receive a copy from Library Thing. All opinions in this review are my own.
