Never Come Back: An utterly gripping and unputdownable psychological thriller

by Cara Reinard

When my husband went missing I was desperate to get him home. Now I know his secrets, I wish he’d never come back…

I hate when Wyatt is away for work. The cold bed. Dinner alone. Comforting our little boy, telling him Daddy will be back to tuck him into bed again soon. But when Wyatt misses his flight and his cell is disconnected, panic takes over.

After seven sleepless nights, tossing and turning as I imagine the absolute worst, he walks back into our home. I breathe a sigh of relief. Until I realize that everything has changed.

I want to believe Wyatt’s explanations. The work trip. The “stolen” phone. But I see the strange, jagged scar across his side even though he tries to keep it hidden. And when I start digging, I uncover more than signs of an affair. It’s so, so much worse…

His secrets have become my nightmares, threatening my son and our unborn child in ways I couldn’t imagine. I can’t confront him. Not without exposing the lies I’ve buried for years. About who I really am and what I’ve done.

And it seems the past has caught up with us. Because one moment, I’m holding my son’s tiny hand as we walk around the mall. The next he is nowhere to be seen.

If my husband had never come back, would my son still be safe? And how are we meant to get him back when our deadliest secrets are yet to be uncovered?

This addictive and gripping thriller is perfect for fans of Minka Kent, Jeneva Rose, and Freida McFadden. You won’t be able to put this down!

Never Come Back is the latest novel from author Cara Reinard. I received an early copy through NetGalley and eagerly dove in last week to learn what happened to a man when he visited Mexico City. The plot hinges on a semi-often 'old wives tale' about a man who wakes up in a bathtub missing a kidney. But there's really a whole lot more to this dramatic novel. Family history, genetics, affairs, misunderstandings... a woman pushed to the brink and the lines she will cross. Loved the novel!!! Might be my first true 5-star of the year. Of course there are niggles, we all have them, and that ending... super annoyed about what happens when you break the law. I get it, but if you do something for the greater good, or to balance another crime, what is the punishment? Encourage you to read if you like thrillers and Reinard's style.

[Rachel the Page-Turner · Rating 4 out of 5]

I had to re-read the synopsis before writing my review because, after careful consideration, I’ve decided the reader should go in as fresh as possible. What we know is that Rowan is married to Wyatt, who is stubborn, impulsive and constantly away on business. Rowan is anxious and insecure, as well as pregnant, and she’s not happy that he’s heading to Mexico City for a week, leaving her alone with their energetic four-year-old, Landon.

After Wyatt leaves for his trip, he goes incommunicado. Rowan is furious, but as the days go on, she also becomes more scared. Finally she hears from him - he was mugged and they stole his phone, but he’s on his way home. When he gets home, he’s moody and isolating himself…maybe to hide the giant scar he now has? In an effort to lighten things up, Rowan takes Landon to see the Liberty Bell, but this story gets crazy when her son disappears.

I was very surprised by this book; I read a lot of thrillers, and this was a unique concept. I kept thinking how implausible the story was, but for all I know, it’s exactly how things happen. (I can’t tell you what things, but yes, there are definitely things.) This crime thriller had a lot of suspense, a bit of action, a couple of HUGE surprises, and some very unreliable but very entertaining characters! Four stars.

(Thank you to Bookouture for inviting me on this book tour! “Never Come Back” is slated to be released on February 11, 2025.)

“Sometimes when you’re dealing with bad people… you become bad people"

I really enjoyed reading this but honestly hated the main characters. which, in my case, was totally fine. After all, I enjoyed reading and seeing what was happening in their lives, but honestly, the characters themselves weren't likable. Have you ever heard that phrase, "Couldn't have happened to a nicer person "' , this was my sentiment about these characters. Honestly, I felt more sympathy towards the kids and the "bad guy," then I did the main couple.

This was my second book by Reinard, and I don't think it will be my last.


I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Rowan's husband Wyatt is away on a business trip and disappears off the radar. Initially, Rowan is angry with Wyatt, but as time goes on, she becomes increasingly worried. Eventually, she hears from him and discovers he was mugged and his phone was stolen, but he is en-route home to her and their four year old son, Landon. When he does come home, however, he is acting strangely, in obvious pain and with a fresh scar across his side - not the kind you get in a mugging! And then things go from bad to worse when Landon goes missing, abducted from under Rowan's nose.

The plot is very clever, a bit different and fast paced, making it a compelling read with some shocking twists that I really didn't see coming.

Some people will go to any lengths to protect the ones they love, even if it means other lives are lost along the way.

4 ⭐️ Thanks to Netgalley, Cara Reinard and Bookouture, for an ARC in return for an honest review.

TRIGGER WARNING This book contains themes of organ harvesting and child abduction.

This dark thriller follows a wife whose husband mysteriously vanishes on a business trip. When his company finally get in touch they say he’s fine but has been mugged and is in hospital. When he finally returns home she knows something isn’t right with him and he is being really evasive about what happened out there and then when her young son is taken from a crowded tourist attraction it turns out things are taking an even darker turn and some secrets they all thought were buried will not stay secrets for long and threaten to destroy this family.
I could not put this book down.

[Els · Rating 5 out of 5]

When you have suffered when you were young because of something that happened in your everyday life, it's only natural you swear that if someone would treat you that way, you would never accept it and the relationship would be over in an instant without a doubt. I could not agree more with that statement. 

Well, some might want to takea look in the mirror before they start suspecting and judging others.

This story shows how desperate people often go for desperate solutions and when things are going horribly wrong, the ball that started rolling cannot be stopped anymore.

The police has to follow rules and so does everyone else, but when you can't see any other way out anymore, you bend the rules in your favor and that lasts until it stops and you have to face the consequences.

And so lives are wasted and shattered and families are ripped apart for ever.

It seems like this story has a lot of characters who don't know the meaning of the word honesty and that of course makes it easier to fabricate a twisty and complex book. 

I enjoyed it and it kept my brain alert. 5 stars

Thank you

I received this book as an Arc copy from the publisher.
I wish I could say I liked it, but I didn’t. At all.
I tried to get into this and like the characters but it was all so unrealistic and just too many people. I didn’t care about the main characters, much less all the additional ones with additional/semi included story lines.
I was just disappointed in this and I hate to say it.

A Far Stretch

I did read the entire book...but was ready to give up many times. Rowan, the wife, was an insecure witch and Wyatt, the husband, a complete wimp. IMO there were WAY TOO many links, and some bizarre ones at that, to get to the basic storyline. You really have to stretch your imagination to believe a "normal" housewife could take on an international crime organization.

[Kelly (aka jsybookworm) · Rating 4 out of 5]

What an incredible dark and twisted, albeit addictive, story from Cara Reinard!

Rowan and Wyatt are married, unhappily, with a 4 year old son, Landon, and another baby on the way. Rowan wants Wyatt to spend more time at home whilst Wyatt enjoys the challenge a new job brings therefore changes jobs regularly. Wyatt often has to travel for his work where he is involved in start-up tech companies, he moves from job to job as he loves the start-up process but gets bored by the time the launch occurs. This latest trip for him is to New Mexico and Rowan gets anxious every time he leaves. However, on the first night of his work trip an incident occurs to Wyatt which Rowan is informed of by his company, the details are vague, and she is worried sick being unable to contact him for a few days. The relief she gets when he finally gets in touch with her is short lived; he tells her he was mugged but when he returns home to Rowan and Landon, he is a different man to the one who left days earlier. Wyatt has his secrets but then so does Rowan. Then both their worlds tilt when on a day trip out with Rowan, Landon goes missing, and their worst fears are confirmed when CCTV footage shows someone actively luring Landon away and kidnapping him. Whose secrets have caught up with them, Rowan or Wyatts?! Or is there something darker at play?

Crikey, as I said above, this was one dark story but extremely addictive. I was constantly saying to myself, “just one more page” or “just one more chapter”. I have to admit I didn’t really like the characters of Rowan or Wyatt, but this didn’t ruin the enjoyment of the story at all. The beginning was a little slow while setting the scene but intriguing all the same and by about 30% in I was addicted to see what would happen next. I definitely did not see the dark direction the story headed and even though I know this book is fictional I did find it interesting to learn more about the dark subject matter in question (sorry this is a little mysterious but this is a no spoiler review so I can’t give too much away without there being a spoiler). I thought the twist in chapter 37 was brilliant and I didn’t see it coming however I did guess the one further on but again, this didn’t ruin the story for me, and I was more excited that I had figured that one out when the first one really blindsided me.

This was my second book by Cara Reinard, and it was just as good as the pervious one I read written by her (The Clinic). I would definitely recommend this one for any psychological thriller fans and I look forward to seeing what Cara Reinard writes next. A well deserved 4 star rating.

Thank you to NetGalley, Cara Reinard and Bookouture for my advanced reading copy. Out now.

With a deep breath, you fasten the blindfold over your eyes, plunging into darkness as you step onto the roller coaster platform. Someone guides you into the seat of the first car and secures the metal harness close to you. The click of the mechanisms echoes as the coaster slowly departs from the loading station.

As the coaster begins its ascent, anticipation builds with each click of the chain.

Then comes the drop!

"Never Come Back" is a thrill ride of a read that captured my attention right from the jump. It's a twisty, bendy ride full of secrets, lies, and surprises that keep on coming.

The story follows Wyatt, who embarks on a business trip, leaving his pregnant wife, Rowan, anxious and alone. Her worst fears come to life when she receives a chilling call from Wyatt’s employer, revealing that he’s been injured in a mugging, yet offering no details about his condition or whereabouts. The suspense mounts as days pass without any word from him and Rowan becomes increasingly worried.

When Wyatt finally reaches out, Rowan finds him to be evasive. Is he hiding something? What really happened? Before she can finally piece together the truth, their world is completely shattered and turned upside down.

“Never Come Back” features a unique and captivating storyline. You'll find yourself racing through the pages to discover what happens next. Don’t miss out on this electrifying journey filled with secrets, lies, and heart-stopping surprises that will linger in your mind long after you’ve turned the last page.

Thank you to Cara Reinard, Bookouture, and NetGalley for providing me with the advanced reader’s copy to read and review.

[Ashley Sawyer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Never Come Back by Cara Reinard is a complex thriller that will keep you engaged from the start. What starts out as a business trip to Mexico City to roll out new software and set up a center, turns into a nightmare for Wyatt. After having a drink at a rooftop bar with a beautiful woman named Esme, Wyatt wakes up in a bathtub with a nasty incision in his stomach. The doctor explains that his kidney has been removed, and while crimes like this are rare they do happen and they rarely get reported. Knowing his wife Rowan would be furious and divorce him, Wyatt chooses only to tell Rowan that he was attacked and mugged. When Wyatt returns home he is hiding both his emotional scars and his physical one, choosing to keep Rowan in the dark about his ordeal. But what happens when their young son Landon is taken from the museum while with Rowan? Who has taken him and why? Soon they realize that this was all a carefully thought out plan and everyone is keeping secrets.
This was a wild ride! A very interesting and original plot, well thought out characters (even if some were not very likable) and plenty of tension really made this book engaging. The suspense and the depths of the secrets are brilliant. Just when I thought I had one part figured out another twist was thrown at me. Definitely going to check out more by Cara Reinard!
Thank you to NetGalley, Cara Reinard, and Bookouture for this ARC. Expected release date is February 11th 2025.

[MoMo Book Diary · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cara Reinard’s Never Come Back offers a wild ride of suspense, secrets, and twists that kept me turning the pages, even when the story ventured into the implausible.

This thriller centres on Rowan, whose husband Wyatt vanishes during a business trip to Mexico, leaving her angry, scared, and ultimately questioning everything when he finally returns. Wyatt comes home a changed man, hiding a mysterious scar and acting distant. The situation escalates when their young son Landon is abducted, plunging Rowan into a nightmare of buried secrets and shocking revelations.

Told through alternating perspectives of Wyatt and Rowan, the book weaves a layered plot that’s fast-paced and undeniably unique. While the story’s concept was intriguing, parts of it felt over the top, and some twists were too outlandish to fully buy into. At times, the abundance of characters and unnecessary details distracted from the central plot, leaving me wanting more focus and clarity. I also struggled to connect with the main characters, which lessened the emotional impact of the story.

That said, there were moments of genuine suspense and unexpected surprises that I appreciated. While Never Come Back may not deliver a traditional thriller, it offers plenty of action and drama with an unpredictable edge. If you’re in the mood for a fast-paced, slightly out-there read, this one is worth picking up.

[A Lane · Rating 4 out of 5]

Never Come Back, a dark and deeply twisted psychological thriller is Cara Reinard's next thriller.

The story centers around the Bishop family, Wyatt, Rowan, and their young son, Logan. When Wyatt is attacked on a business trip and goes missing for over a week, a pregnant Rowan tries to hold it together and frantically searches for him. Finally, she gets word from him that he was attacked but is now on his way home. Thinking the worst is behind them, she breathes a sigh of relief. That relief is short-lived, however, when Logan is abducted. Rowan will stop at nothing to track Logan down, even going to the seedy dark web. But how far is too far to go for those you love?

The storyline is unique and draws you in immediately. While the characters seem a bit rough, it becomes clear why as you get further into their story. It alternates between the perspectives of Rowan and Wyatt. The chapters are short and easy to fly through. The twists, lies, and jaw-dropping surprises will leave you wishing for more but also leave you needing to see the outcome of this story. This is a highly recommended read for anyone looking for a thriller with a unique storyline.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the advanced copy

[Robin Loves Reading · Rating 4 out of 5]

Rowan is furious that her husband, Wyatt, has to travel abroad for business. Wyatt continues his plans, despite her protests. Tragically, a single, fateful decision during his trip alters the course of his life forever. Rowan’s agitation intensifies when she not only can’t reach Wyatt but also receives a call from his employer informing her that he has been injured.

Rowan and Wyatt are parents to a four-year-old son, Landon, and are expecting their second child. Rowan yearns for Wyatt’s return home to restore normalcy. However, even upon returning home, his experience has left him a broken man, certain to have a profound impact on their marriage.

Their son Landon’s subsequent disappearance further exacerbates their strained relationship, shedding light on their less-than-ideal marriage.

The story takes a darker turn as Wyatt’s experiences abroad persist. For the sake of their son and while wishing for his safe return, a united front is crucial. This couple’s situation suggests that their marriage may be beyond repair.

Beyond its surface-level drama, this novel delves into a profound and thought-provoking subject, one that I found new and intriguing as I read it.

Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

Thank you @bookouture & @carareinard @netgalley for my complimentary copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

Rawan is a devoted wife and mother who struggles with the complexities of her seemingly perfect life with her handsome husband, Wyatt. While managing the challenges of raising their young son and preparing for another child amidst Wyatt's frequent absences, she strives to cherish their suburban existence. However, upon Wyatt's return after a week of silence, she senses an unsettling change. Despite his explanations—his phone being stolen and the fatigue from travel—she cannot shake the feeling that something is amiss, especially with the mysterious scar that has appeared on his body. As her intuition whispers of betrayal, she is haunted by a deeper fear: that Wyatt may uncover her own dark secret which threatens to shatter their idyllic life and put their family in great danger.

MY THOUGHTS: I believe it’s best for readers to approach this fast paced narrative without any prior knowledge, so I don’t want to reveal too much. I will say that this clever story captivated me from the very start and kept me engaged throughout. It is filled with significant surprises! Dive into this if you enjoy suspense, unexpected twists, and unreliable characters.

Wyatt goes on a business trip to Mexico City and wakes up in a bathtub in serious pain and no clue what happened. His wife Rowan is back at home frantically trying to figure out what is going on. Wyatt does return home but he is a little shady about what really happened while he was gone. When their son goes missing shortly after Wyatt returns, they have to figure out if the two incidents are related and if so, how??

I never would have predicted the direction this book went. It was definitely twisty and I can honestly say, I had no idea how everything was going to tie together in the end! Not only does it show the seedier side of the internet as Rowan has to learn about the dark web in order to track down her son, but it also demonstrates just how far someone will go for the ones they love. This one was a one day read and I truly enjoyed it!

Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced copy that I was provided in exchange for my honest review.

Rowan and Wyatt seem like the perfect couple, but when Wyatt goes MIA during a business trip, Rowan's world begins to unravel. As Wyatt returns with an explanation for his disappearance, the truth slowly starts to surface, and their lives are shattered. The lies Wyatt has told are now connected to the disappearance of their son, and the surprises keep piling up. But Wyatt isn’t the only one with secrets…
This book was absolutely unputdownable, with twists and turns at every corner. The plot is packed with secrets, lies, and unexpected surprises that kept me on the edge of my seat. Told from both Wyatt and Rowan’s perspectives, I never saw the direction the story took coming, and the ending completely caught me off guard.
I really admired Rowan—she’s a fierce, determined mother who will stop at nothing to find her son, even learning about the dark web to track down the person responsible. I won’t spoil any more, but trust me, this story is filled with unique, captivating moments that will stick with you long after the final page.
This isn’t my first book by Cara Reinard, and I’m a huge fan of her work. Her writing continues to impress, and this crime thriller was everything I hoped for. I can’t wait for her next book!

[Kristin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Reinard writes a fast paced, on the edge of your seat, keep you guessing, refreshing thriller. There is so much happening and so much action that will keep you turning page after page until you all of a sudden realize that you have finished the book! This book is chock full of drama, secrets, and lies. Just when you think it’s only Wyatt that is hiding secrets and lying, all of a sudden you find out that Rowen has secrets as well! Some of the characters are not what they seem, it really is just a very twisty book!

I will say that this book should come with a trigger warning for organ harvesting and child abduction. However, these things really happen, so while this is an entertaining thriller, I do think that it touches on a subject that isn’t talked about much.

Anyway, thriller lovers are going to love this book. The ending is literally unguessable. So, go ahead, I dare you! Pick this up, read it, and try to figure it all out!

Well you have to go into this with your eyes wide open because it's based on the old story of a man, Wyatt, waking up in Mexico and missing a kidney and having no recollection of how he got there.
His wife, Rowan, is missing him, but when she finally hears from him and he tells her he was mugged and his phone was stolen but he was headed back home to his family finally and she isn't sure about his story because he's acted strangely and his story doesn't explain the scar he has.
Not long after he comes back, their son Landon, gets kidnapped right out from under Rowan's nose. Rowan has to figure out what her husband is really hiding in order to get her son back.
The plot was fast paced and entertaining and there are few twists to keep you on your toes.
What lengths will you go to to protect your family?

Couple Rowan and Wyatt are expecting baby number 2. Although, their marriage is far from perfect. Wyatt is always away on business and Rowan is suspicious of him. When Wyatt goes on a trip to Mexico City, their lives change forever. Wyatt comes back as a completely changed man and Rowan cannot figure out why. When their four year old son disappears, things start to get crazy....

I much preferred the first half of this book to the second half. Kind of a strange and weird read that felt really showy and over the top. I think there were too many people involved which led to too many unnecessary details and unresolved plot lines and unanswered questions. Just felt a bit messy to me. The characters are also pretty annoying. Anyways, you really need to suspend your beliefs for this one!

Wow!! It’s only February, but I’m certain this one will be a contender for my favorite of the year. “Never Come Back” kicks off with a normal business trip and rapidly morphs into an action-packed story with incredibly high stakes. Alternating between the perspectives of a husband and wife who each have their own secrets, this story goes places you’ll never see coming! This book will hit hard with fans of Minka Kent & Jeneva Rose!

I’m was already a fan of this author and “Sweet Water” is one of my go-to recommendations so I had very high expectations going into this one and the story had no trouble living up them. 10/10, an absolute must add to your #tbr

Meet Rowan and Wyatt. Husband and wife. When Wyatt goes MIA on a business trip, Rowan starts to worry. Rightfully so. However, Wyatt seems to be able to explain everything away. So things should be good, right? Expect there are things Rowan notices that do not really go with the story her husband is telling her....

This book is in dual POV from both Wyatt and Rowan. The chapters are short, the story is twisty, and I did really enjoy reading it. This was my first book by by Cara Reinard, but I feel now I need to find out if she already wrote more.

This was an exciting book. So much so that I had the NetGalley app read me the ebook when I had to put my kindle down to do other things yesterday. I read the whole thing in one afternoon.

There was a lot of surprises in this book. Rowan seems very dependent on her husband, like she’s not whole when he’s away. Wyatt has a lot of secrets he keeps from his wife, and she surprisingly has some of her own too. Wyatt’s biggest secret follows him home from his last business trip, and it puts his family at risk. Wyatt and Rowan are both willing to do anything to save their son.

Never come back by Cara Reinhard is a suspenseful thriller that follows husband and wife Rowan and Wyatt.

When her husband was missing Rowan wished desperately that he would come back, but then she learned his secrets and now she wishes he not.

Being a single mom when your married is hard. Wyatt is always away: at a work thing, his phone was stolen, there's always an excuse. If only it was an affair, the truth is it's much worse than that.

First Wyatt goes missing and now Landon. But Rowan can't confront Wyatt without exposing herself.

I received an ARC copy of this book, and this is my honest, unbiased opinion. I found the plot unique and original. Delving into family history and drama made this feel new and refreshing compared to other books in the genre, which often feel very formulaic. However, I felt a little disappointed and underwhelmed because, despite such a unique approach, I wished I could connect with the characters. I found the twists and ending to be unpredictable and unexpected. But all in all, this was a good book. 4 stars.
