The Day I Lost You
You only let her go for a second… Now she’s gone.
Erika Rice is in an elevator with her four-year-old daughter Alice when all the lights go out. It jerks to a stop on a deserted floor of apartments and the little girl runs out into the corridor.
But before Erika can follow her the doors slam shut again. Now her daughter is nowhere to be seen.
Erika was about to take Alice away for a fresh start, far from her troubled past, when the child vanished. How could a four-year-old disappear into thin air?
And with no one to help her, will Erika ever find her daughter?

4.25 Troubling Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟.25
I have read quite a few missing children books as of late but this one was a bit different.... it had a bit of a Twilight Zone vibe to it... not sure if it was the fact it was set almost entirely in an apartment building.... or if it was the fact that the people living in this apartment building were all a bit off and disconnected... it was quite jarring how unhelpful the tenants in this building were! Gave the entire book a creepy eerie feeling....
Erica is on an elevator heading towards her ex-husband’s apartment to pick up a toy left behind by their daughter Alice... when the elevator doors mysteriously open on the seventh floor Alice sneaks out and the hunt for her begins... this is also when the book began to get a little odd, everybody’s reaction to a missing child in the apartment building was quite disconcerting and lead me to question many things.... not going to mention any of these things because I don’t want to ruin this for you.... just know like all good psychological thrillers this book has many twists and turns and even though I figured out the twist (almost for the first time ever!) It was still fun trying to make all the pieces fit together....
Told entirely from the perspective of Erica.... most of the book was set in the present time... with snippets of the past highlighting Erica and her ex-husband’s marriage.... erica’s character was really hard to completely understand, but I believe this was done on purpose.... A definite different spin on the missing child story, well done!
Absolutely recommend to fans of an Erie psychological thriller...

I hate to write negative reviews, but this book just was not for me. Even though it should have been gripping - a young child goes missing, after all - it was such a dud! The story ambled on and on, and even though it is not a long book, it felt long to me. I have to admit, at the halfway point, I started skimming, because I did want to know the ending, but it was just quite tedious. I also found the writing to be very repetitive, with overuse of certain words and phrases and the characters mostly behaved in ways I found to be quite unnatural given the situation. One final niggle, the girl's nickname is 'Bunny' but the mother constantly says and thinks "my Bunny" and it just started to irritate me (if I had been enjoying the book, however, I doubt I would have cared about this). All in all, I am sorry to say this was a disappointment.

Erika Rice is in an elevator with her four year old daughter Alice when all the lights go out. It jerks to a stop on a deserted floor of an apartment block and the little girl runs out. Before Erika can follow her the doors close. Now her daughter is nowhere to be seen.
A child going missing is every parents worst nightmare. This story follows Erika's quest to find her daughter Alice when she goes missing after the elevator they were in stops on a deserted floor of an apartment block they are in. They were visiting her ex-husbands apartment as Bunny (Alice) had left her favourite toy the last time she had visited. The story alternates between present and snippets of the past.
This book had me gripped from the start. Tugging at my heartstrings,willing thus woman to find her child safe and well. I think, like Erika, we would all do anything to cover all bases in trying to find our daughters, to try and get people to help us find her and to call the authorities. This is a very twisted read. Although I found some parts far fetched, I was still on the mother's side. But the one thing I did not see coming was the final, unexpected twist at the end.

After reading the synopsis and feeling increasingly aware that this premise, although used plenty of times throughout the history of the genre, can still lead to a thrilling and exciting story. I suppose it's really dependent on the ability of the author to make the most of the concept and run with it, so to speak. Having enjoyed a lot of books with a similar or near identical hook, I was pretty sure as long as the execution on the part of the author was good, it was safe to say I would find it a pleasurable experience.
Unfortunately, I had mixed emotions regarding this book. Don't get me wrong, it's not terrible. Not by a long shot! But it isn't up to the usual high standard of most of the Bookouture catalogue. As I mentioned above, the premise is a sound one, even though it is overused. My first issue was with the pace at the beginning - it was rather slow and steady, however, it did pick up further into the story. There was a certain something missing for me that meant I didn't connect fully to the characters, I feel that the suspense needed to be built more and Sinclair could've exploited the situation a little better.
Erika, our main protagonist, was the only character that had sufficient development and that I could connect with. I felt a lot of sympathy for her and the circumstances she found herself in. Despite her poor hand she was a fierce, strong and independent character who I greatly admired. I did appreciate the twist at the very end and thought it was excellent conclusion to the book.
I would read another Alex Sinclair book in the future, I hope he continues to write and develop into the genre. He has all the attributes to write a fantastic thriller so I will look forward to checking his next offering out when available!

5🌟 twisted stars to this gripping read! This kept me turning the pages right from the opening chapter!
Alex Sinclair, you are one clever writer, and you definitely know how to write a brilliant twist! The Day I Lost You does not disappoint! This story is about every mother's worst nightmare, losing a child. We follow Erika as she goes on a quest to find her 4-year-old daughter, Alice, who goes missing when the elevator stops on a deserted floor of an apartment building.
How can Alice vanish right out of the blue? Will Erika ever find her daughter again? She only let her go for a second...
This is a psychological thriller that is so twisted it keeps you guessing right up until the brilliant end! Highly Recommend

Erica Rice and her 4 year old daughter Alice, go to her ex husbands apartment to pick up Alice’s princess doll that she left there when she last visited.
Whilst in the lift going up to the 11th floor the lift stop in between floors and Alice squeezes out leaving Erica in a descending lift on her own and Alice on the 7th floor.
The story is told in 2 timelines before and after Alice’s disappearance. Erica and Michael are excited about being pregnant after trying for 2 years,but now Michael seems more worried about the forth coming baby then her.
I seemed to have read a lot of books about missing children recently and yes some are better than others!! But for me this was chilling because it was set in a creepy apartment block where people’s reactions to a missing child were bizarre.Wouldn’t you be ringing the Police and desperately trying to find the little girl?
At times it was a bit unbelievable but I definitely didn’t see that ending coming.

Summary
This story takes place in a high end apartment building that Michael Walls resides at. The majority of the book is from the point of view of his ex wife Erika. Unbeknownst to Michael, his ex wife and daughter Alice have arrived to his building to collect a toy that Alice has left behind during one of her visits with her father. Erika and Alice's visit turns drastically wrong when Alice bolts out of the elevator and disappears before her mother can locate her. Every parents worst nightmare unfolds as the reality sets in for Erika that her daughter is now missing.
The story is narrated by Erika, with some chapters being in the present tense with the search for Alice progressing. Other chapters focus on filling the reader in with the past life that she lived with Michael that lead up to their divorce. Michael climbed the ladder to become a high powered, wealthy attorney that had no time for his family. He was a controlling husband that could not understand why Erika felt the need to leave him and take Alice with her. There was an event that took place that Erika often refers to that she felt was the end of their relationship.
My thoughts
Mr. Sinclair, you have managed to do it again! After reading "The Last Thing I Saw" I was expecting another great twist. I was not disappointed! This story seemed straight forward about a mother's pure terror of losing her daughter. We go through the journey of all the emotions she is feeling during this traumatic event that is occurring. We also get a glimpse of all the resentment and distrust she has for Michael. But true to form, there is a major twist at the end.
You no doubt will be in for a surprise. Fantastic ending, I was completely suprised at the turn of events the last couple of chapters.

Book review can be found on my blog here: www.booksonthebookshelf.wordpress.com
Gripping, thrilling, thrilling! This was my first book I have read by Alex Sinclair and let me tell you it won’t be my last. This book was very well written. It draws you in at the very beginning and keeps your interest through to the very end. I love books that can captivate the audience and keep the momentum going the whole way through, and this book definitely does just that.
The Day I Lost You follows the story of a woman named Erika. She is with her 4 year old daughter Alice as they visit the apartment complex Alice’s father, and Erika’s ex-husband Michael, lives in to retrieve a toy that Alice had left behind from a previous visit she had with her father. While in the elevator to go up to Michael’s apartment, the elevator stops near the 7th floor, the doors get jammed partways open and the elevator lights shut off. Alice is terrified of elevators, and takes the opportunity to run from the jammed elevator and takes off into the hallway of the 7th floor through the open doors of the elevator, Erika calls her to come back but the little girl will not listen. Frantic, Erika tries to escape the elevator as well, but she is unable to squeeze in between the small gap of the jammed elevator doors. Where did Alice run off to? Why did she take off like that, instead of staying with her mom where she would be safe?
The story continues on with Erika’s escape from the elevator and the frantic and anxious search for her daughter. She is no where to be found and no one in the apartment complex has seen a little girl who appears to be alone and lost. What is going on? Erika is not sure if this was a freak accident or if someone is out to get her and kidnap her daughter. Will Erika be able to find her daughter?
From all the shocking twists and turns in the book, to the shocking revelations and character building as we read on, you will not be disappointed. If you are a fan of psychological thrillers, then this book is a must to add to your to be read list. I was so shocked at the many surprises in this book, and just wait….There is a huge revelation at the end that I DID NOT see coming. I loved it!
I was hooked from the start of this book and was unable to put it down. A great page turner of a book, that keeps you reading more and more late into the night.

This is a parent's worst nightmare. Taking her daughter to where her father lives in order to pick up a doll she had left there, Erika Rice gets on an elevator. Something happens, the elevator stops and young Alice jumps across the partially open door and promptly disappears.
Erika is beside herself with worry. Where did her daughter go? She takes the stairs and run downstairs hoping to find help. The man at the desk says he will call the police for her. But does he really? A man named Alan says he is the building's maintenance man and he will help her look for Alice. But he also disappears, after Erika learns he really isn't the maintenance man.
This is the story of Erika's frantic attempts to find her daughter. Alternating chapters jump back to when Erika was still married, and became pregnant to the break up of her marriage when Alice was 6 months old.
Throughout this story, the reader can feel Erika's fear and angst, wondering what has happened to her daughter ... who took her. And then there's the rumor that another man on the same floor where the girl disappeared is an ex-convict.
This is a fast-action book, and even though some of it comes across as a bit predictable .. the ending is an explosive surprise that not only took my breath away, but I never ever saw it coming.

OMG,wow just wow,talk about a fast paced,breath taking,roller coaster ride.And that twist,to quote Blackadder it was so cunning you could stick a tail on it and call it a weasel. I was so shocked I found myself spending at least five minutes sat in my comfy chair doing a very bad impersonation of OMG cat.And then I had to go on Twitter and post a OMG cat gif because....well why not,it's OMG cat and he's just so damn cute. Anyway back to my book review.
Throughout most of this breath taking thriller that is told in chapters that alternate between then and now,we follow Erika Rice`s desperate search for her four year old daughter Alice (bunny). They had been in a elevator on their way to Erika`s ex husband Michael's apartment when the lights suddenly went out. The elevator jerked to a stop on a floor of mainly empty apartments. Alice panicked and ran into the corridor but before Erika could follow her,the doors slammed shut trapping Erika inside the elevator. By the time Erika managed to get free and return to where she had last seen her daughter,Alice was gone. Where was she? Is she hiding or has someone abducted her? Is she lying injured somewhere in one of the empty stairwells and apartments that make up the huge complex. Throughout Erika`s frantic search she encounters a mixed bag of diverse characters,some who are sympathetic and willing to help Erika,some who are sinister and untrustworthy.Losing a child is every parents worst nightmare and the authors portrayal of Erika`s fear and frustration was realistic and believable. To be honest I struggled to feel any empathy towards Erika and found her rather unlikable in both the present day chapters and the chapters set in the past that covered her marriage to high flying lawyer Michael. Because we only get the story from Erika`s point of view,we are never actually sure wether Michael is the bullying control freak that Erika made him out to be or was he just a loving father who was doing everything in his power to give his child the best start in life.
My favourite parts of this story were the fast paced,action packed,intense chapters set in the present day that had me hooked in,devouring every word and wondering what the next revelation was going to be. I would love to watch a film adaptation of this book. This is the first book that I have read by this author and it most definitely will not be my last.

Oh my Goodness, what a climatic ending!!
I read this book in a day. I could not put it down.
Erika escapes a mentally abusive relationship six months after giving birth to Alice (Bunny). She plans to cut all ties with her husband but first she must go to her exs apartment to retrieve Alice's dolly. Alice then goes missing presumed kidnapped, resulting in Erika doing whatever it takes to get her Bunny back. Is there more to the story that meets the eye? Excellent book.

This one just got an OK from me.
What should have been thrilling and suspenseful just ended with me (again and again) saying: GO CALL THE POLICE YOURSELF.
Part of the issue was our unlikable and unreliable main character. She kept making decisions that made no sense. Even after everything was revealed (and it was a nicely shocking reveal and a nicely shocking ending), her actions still made no sense.
I will say that the author did an excellent job of leading me in completely the wrong direction! I knew something was wrong – I just had the wrong something wrong! (Lol – did that weird turn of phrase make sense?)
For me, it wasn’t a terribly enjoyable read, though I did want to see exactly what was happening here.
I would, however, try the author again. I appreciate what he managed to do here.

Unfortunately I had the twist figured out by the third chapter. That essentially ruined the whole book for me. Apart from that, the entire story seemed unrealistic and farfetched. The actions of not only the main character, but the supporting characters as well, were ridiculous and illogical. For a book whose plot is centered around a missing child, there was an obvious lack of emotion and urgency from all of the characters. It was annoying and ruined whatever semblance of a good story that may have existed, despite having figured out the twist early on.

This book was ok at best for me. The whole book basically takes place in a high rise over a series of hours while a woman searches for her daughter who has gone missing during an elevator malfunction. There are flashbacks woven in. What I will say for this book is that the ending is definitely a surprise. I am just not sure that the ending makes sense with the account of what happened throughout the book, especially the beginning. I also thought Erika, the woman searching for her child was basically bumbling around quite a bit during the search for her child and her actions and those of the people around her just didn’t make sense to me in many cases. I appreciated the surprise ending which is always important for me I just wish it made more sense to me.

The whole book basically takes place in a high rise over a series of hours while a woman searches for her daughter who has gone missing during an elevator malfunction. There are flashbacks woven in. What I will say for this book is that the ending is definitely a surprise. I am just not sure that the ending makes sense with the account of what happened throughout the book, especially the beginning. I also thought Erika, the woman searching for her child was basically bumbling around quite a bit during the search for her child and her actions and those of the people around her just didn’t make sense to me in many cases. I appreciated the surprise ending which is always important for me I just wish it made more sense to me.

First got to say this, the 4 year old in question who goes missing in the book has a nickname ‘Bunny’ ( there is a valid reason why ) and so there are frequent ‘Bunny Bunny where are you’ and ‘Oh my Bunny’......a more irritating nickname couldnt have been chosen.....
Also, I think for the first time ever since reviewing I messaged the author to check the ending as thought had it right but wasnt 100% sure, to his credit he answered straight away and explained....
The premise for the book is good, a Mum (Erica) takes her daughter (Alice) to see her estranged hubby/Dad and as they are in the lift going to the Penthouses it gets stuck!!! Alice escapes through a gap and when Erica is released goes on the hunt for her....the description of the lift breaking down and them being stuck is very good, claustrophobic and tense....
The story then goes on and Erica becomes increasingly annoying as she searches( with the help of others ) for Alice and she has panic attacks at the slightest thing ( I know I should sympathise but she got on my nerves having them every 2 minutes!!! 😃)
The book takes a few turns and it seems to be going to an ending you expect, in fact it cleverly lulled you into thinking you knew the outcome all the way through it but then it all changes and there is a brilliant twist ( yep twist!!) and as say I had to write and check I had it right
I didnt feel I ever got to know the characters and found them aloof and not ‘reader friendly’ or likeable, some of the situations in the book as they looked for Alice where frustrating and repetitive but did make more sense at the end
An enjoyable quick read with as say a great start and great end
7/ 10 3 stars

When you have a small child, you need to have eyes on the back of your head as well, because when one thing happens, due to circumstances out of your control, you might lose the most precious thing you have ...
I read this one in one go. From the first page I was hooked and you felt for Erika. Maybe she did not always make the best decisions, but there is no doubt in my mind that you can't think clearly in her condition. You want to trust everybody who wants to help you because you are so desperate.
I was wondering where the story would go and I can tell you I did not see this twist coming.
I was thoroughly captivated by the book. So nothing but praise from me.
Thank you, Alex Sinclair, Bookouture and Netgalley

3,5/5
Gdybym miała jednym słowem określić tę powieść, napisałabym, że jest "dziwna". Dziwni bohaterowie, dziwne (niespotykane) miejsce akcji, dziwne rozwiązania fabularne. Dziwy nad dziwami, mówię Wam.
Zacznijmy od postaci - mieszkańcy wieżowca tworzą prawdziwy "Freak Show", jeden jest bardziej podejrzany od drugiego, każdego posądzasz o nieczyste zamiary. Stojąca w centrum akcji Erika - matka, która zgubiła córeczkę na szóstym piętrze apartamentowca - podejmuje kompletnie bezsensowne decyzje. Zaszło to na tyle daleko, że w pewnych momentach, gdy czytałam o jej całkowicie pozbawionych logiki zachowaniach, tak mi ręce opadały, że mogłam sznurówki na stojąco zawiązywać. Reszta postaci to, jak już wspomniałam, plejada dziwolągów, którzy nie każdemu mogą przypaść do gustu.
Bardzo dużym plusem było, według mnie, umiejscowienie akcji na piętrach wieżowca i decyzja autora, by opisywane wydarzenia rozgrywały się na przestrzeni kilku godzin. Akcja jest więc wartka, czyta się to całkiem dobrze, brakuje jednak w tym wszystkim trochę napięcia.
Autor poprawił się jednak na sam koniec, bo gdy wydawało mi się, że książka zbyt szybko zmierza ku końcowi i nie wydarzy się tu już nic spektakularnego, Sinclair udowodnił mi, że wie, co to znaczy finał z przytupem.
Jeśli macie ochotę na niezbyt wymagający (i odrobinę zaskakujący) thriller, który raczej nie zostanie w Waszej pamięci na długo, ale za to połkniecie go w kilka godzin, sięgnijcie po "Szóste piętro".

Well.. that was unexpected! I certainly did not see that ending coming.. and I loved it. I had so many scenarios going on in my head but none of them were right - what a great book.
Erika takes her 4 year old daughter Alice to her ex husbands apartment to pick up a toy that had been left behind. Ion the way up to the top floor the elevator stops unexpectedly and Alice runs out before her mum can catch her. This is the story of Erika trying to find her daughter. It also jumps back to when Erika and Michael were still married, before Alice was born. It is an absolute page turner, a very fast read that you won't want to put down.

Well now, if you think stories about missing children have been done to death, think again. Because Alex Sinclair has come up with quite the unique twist to every mother’s nightmare.
When visiting her ex-husband’s penthouse flat, Erika and her daughter get stuck in an elevator. With the doors slightly open, four year old Alice manages to get out but Erika is unable to follow her as the doors shut again. Now Alice has disappeared and in an apartment complex this massive, the search isn’t an easy one.
Now, I did feel the storyline was a tad far-fetched at times and required me to suspend belief a little bit but nevertheless, it was quite the gripping story. The search for Alice takes us all around the complex, with few people seemingly willing to help Erika look for her daughter. It’s a truly creepy place, I’d never want to live there and the suspicious nature of the residents really didn’t help.
Erika herself is the only character we really get to know and I couldn’t quite connect to her, although I can’t really explain why except I found her behaviour increasingly frustrating. Some flashback chapters give a fascinating insight into the marriage of Erika and her ex-husband Michael, but since Erika’s side of the story is the only one we hear, I couldn’t decide if I could rely on her version of events. These chapters had me hooked though and I found myself wishing for more of them.
I couldn’t at all figure out the reason behind Alice’s disappearance, who’d want to take her or why. Nor could I predict the outcome which was so incredibly unexpected I think I did one of those awkward fish impressions. Mouth open, mouth shut, repeat.
While I feel The Day I Lost You could have done with a bit more tension, a bit more “thrill” of the thriller variety, I did enjoy this one. It’s a relatively quick read that is a surefire way to spend an entertaining afternoon.

I wanted to read a thriller which would knock my socks off, and this book kinda did with the first scene.
The scene in the elevator with the doors partially open and child running out, where the mother couldn’t follow and the lift lurching a foot down is so gripping and so horrifying, I literally had my heart in my mouth from imagining it. This scene should be read by all thriller lovers. Man, it was brilliant. I will say it again it was brilliant. What a scene!! Author Alex Sinclair is a genius with this scene.
The book followed the mother Erica as she took one wrong decision after the other in search of her daughter. She was scatterbrained with wayward thoughts, could be because of panic. She didn’t call the cops!! The story narrated her past life the Then along with the the present one Now. Her life with Michael, her pregnancy, breakdown of marriage, divorce, all found a place in between the chapters where she searched for the child on each floor, knocking on doors of rude, indifferent residents. Nobody could understand her panic
I loved how Alex Sinclair has portrayed Erica, I could feel the synapses of her brain overshooting at all points. Blood found, ex-con resident, a collapsed maintenance man, a shady maintenance supervisor all played their part in confusing Erica and me. At times I felt I was underwater where I could see everything but could not analyse anything. I could just hold-on and hope that this ride would show me the way to rise to the surface with complete understanding.

August 11, 2018Erika is taking her 4-year-old daughter to her estranged husband's top floor apartment on the 14th floor of an upscale building when they get trapped inside a stuck elevator. When it moves a little and the doors open slightly at mid floor, little Alice squeezes through the small opening onto the 7th floor. Erika, already anxious, can't get through and the doors close again taking her down to the lobby. Frantic, she asks the young man at the reception desk, Henry, to help her find Alice. She enlists the help of another resident, Alan, to come with her when Henry seems loathe to take any action. When they get back up to the 7th floor, Alice is nowhere to be found. A door-to-door search is fruitless. What could have happened and where is Alice? And does Alice's disappearance have something to do with Erika's ex, Michael, or has someone in this building kidnapped her? NO SPOILERS.
I read this short book in a little over an hour. Not because it was so compelling, but because I was having such a hard time making sense of the story given how I found it all so utterly unbelievable. That's how I knew something was really off. Yes, it would be entirely normal for a mother to be hysterical if she had lost her child but Erika seemed bat-crap crazy and her madcap actions had me shaking my head. I just had to get to the end of this so that I could find out if my instincts were correct. Yes. There was a twist at the end and it sort of explained some of the day's events as Erika, Alan and several others race up and down and around the building. Definitely different sort of missing child book to what I expected.

Great idea for a book but for me it didn’t keep me captivated. This book was set in an apartment building with one primary character. While there were other smaller characters mentioned, rarely were they involved in the story. The twist at the end was good but the book bored me a little in the middle.
Many thanks to Bookouture for allowing me to review this book

Sinclair’s new novel has an interesting premise but feels let down as it is told in the first person which limits the story telling somewhat. The problem with the first person is that at times, we are receiving one person’s point of view and this person better be likeable. If not, then the reader is walking a thin line between feeling for the character or becoming very annoyed. Unfortunately, I fall in the later.
We are left in the mind of Erika, a very neurotic woman who seems to have the world against her. We are stuck in her head as she sorts out what happened to her little girl Alice whom she refers to as Bunny. As we go through the trials and tribulations as she scours the apartment complex upstairs and down, the reader does become involved in the disappearance of the girl. Erika admittingly is very fraught as one would be in this circumstances. When the drama starts to unfold, she becomes increasingly so and this is where the novel lets itself slightly down. Erika starts out as neurotic and this neurosis spirals out of control.
The action is well paced and there is enough in the novel to keep you involved. There are clever little plot twists that keeps the reader interesting. Unfortunately, there are a few plot holes that do become more apparent at the stories close. Without giving any plot points away, one does wonder about the beginning and not really raising questions on the overall disappearance of Alice.
The end of the story does a major plot twist that doesn’t really pay off. At first it seems quite clever until you start to rewind the story in your head and realised that there lacks rhyme and reason for the disappearance and no one questioning the situation at the heart of the story. I think the author had good intent but did not really think the story through to make a realistic ending that would be profound as it would be deep thinking.
The emotion found within the pages is very well executed and there are some really good characters for Erika to mix up into her neurotic world. Gus is well imagine and the ex-husband, although he is not present except in flashback, is full realised.
Overall, this is a mishmash novel with a lot of great ideas and very well executed if you do not think about the story too much and can swallow the ending. Interesting from a psychological point of view as Sinclair really captures the frantic state of a mind of a mother losing her child though the ending comes across as a bit contrived.

as delighted to receive a copy of The Day I Lost You as the synopsis seemed to be right up my street insofar as descriptions go. The book centres around Erika, a divorcee, whose daughter Alice (Bunny) left a toy back at her ex-husband's apartment. Whilst going back to look for the toy, Erika gets stuck in a lift and her daughter manages to climb out a small opening and escape! The book mainly focusses on the search for Alice but also brings us back historically from Erika's viewpoint on her marriage and the factors which led to the divorce.
Whilst this is a good read and I didn't get bored at all, I tended to speed read just to get to the end (which I had read between the lines and worked out from early on in the book).
Thank you very much toNetgalley, Alex Sinclair and Bookouture to allow me to read an advance copy of this book for an honest review.

Erika's 4-year-old daughter jumps out of a malfunctioning elevator onto the seventh floor of an apartment building. The doors close, and by the time Erika gets back to the floor where she last saw Alice, she has completely disappeared. Erika spends the remainder of the book frantically searching the building for her daughter. I did not really care for this. It was a fast read, and I did want to see what happened, but I didn't really enjoy getting to the end. A lot of the decisions Erika made were frustrating, and I just really did not like her or feel much sympathy for her, even though it would certainly be terrifying to lose your child. There was a twist at the end, which was something I sort of suspected but not completely. I am torn on how to rate this because I didn't like it for almost the entire book, but the last few chapters were better. I'm only giving this one 2 stars, although, again, I did like the end of the book. I think I'd have liked it better if it started at that point in the story and went forward.

Jedyne co to trzymała mnie w napięciu. Zakończenie przewidziałam już po czwartym rozdziale i w sumie to chciałam doczytać do końca tylko dlatego by sprawdzić czy miałam rację. No i miałam. Po zachowaniu bohaterki da się przewidzieć zakończenie, jest irytująca.

This was a quick paced thrilling read. Erika takes her daughter to her ex’s apartment building to get something and then loses her. Is she kidnapped? If so, who took her and why? And there are some super weird people in that building!

I would like to thank netgalley and Bookouture for this partnership.
I was immediately attracted by the beautiful cover, we see the little Alice behind a window and rain dripping on it.
It all starts when Erika is in an elevator with her four-year-old daughter Alice when the lights go out. They are found on a floor of deserted apartments. Alice rushing down the hall, except the doors close and her mother can not follow her. Alice disappeared. Erika will she find her daughter?
A mind-blowing psychological thriller with a captivating, moving story and endearing characters.
My second book by this author, I loved "Do not let me die" this one even more, I love the pen of this author and especially the books published by Bookouture.

Even after finishing this novel, the truth is baffling!
The only reason I didn't give this novel a five star rating was the fact that there were too many grammatical errors! I get really fed up with authors using a singular noun followed by a plural pronoun. If you are writing about Alice, the following pronoun is a feminine not a plural. The story is a captivating tale about the disappearance of a four year old girl as an elevator makes an aborted stop near the seventh floor of a high-rise residential building . The truth is exposed in the last few pages. Except for the grammar, it is a wonderful story.
