I haven’t read Heidi Perks other book, however, after reading Now You See Her I plan to check it out. Now I’ll be honest, I’m getting a bit tired of every thriller or suspense being labeled as a “gripping thriller” or “unputdownable,” but Now You See Her was unputdownable!! I read this entire book in two sittings, on the last day I started out at 35% but couldn’t stop reading until I was finished. It really was a compulsive read!! I was pleased with Ms. Perks writing style and descriptions. She really drew out that parental fear. The storytelling was creative and I felt like I was being giving puzzle pieces one at a time. It was a gradual process that I really enjoyed.

Now set the scene... you’re at a school sponsored event and you have 4 kids, a throbbing headache, it’s hot, there’s tons of people especially excited and happy kids bouncing and just plain running amok. You just want to sit down and catch your breath, take a couple Tylenol, and rest your overstimulated mind. You see your kids laughing and running through a bouncy house but where’s quite little Alice?! Panic doesn’t kick in immediately but Alice isn’t your child and she isn’t one to wonder. Queue the hysterics and total panic! It’s bad enough to loose your child but to lose someone else’s child is just beyond horrible, almost monstrous!! Can you even imagine?!?

Ms. Perks does a great job of really projecting both sides. Then these parents lives all start to unravel. It’s fascinating to see all the pieces starting to fall into place. The little morsels of info that Ms. Perks feeds us is enough to keep the reader intrigued and horrifically fascinated! It’s the train-wreck passerby’s can’t look away from. Now You See Her started out a bit slower and really it didn’t start to feel compulsive until about 25%ish. I kept reading this book and thinking back to the old saying that only two can keep a secret if one is dead. This is an interesting storyline with just a nightmareish plot for any parent out there!

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

 About the Author

Heidi Perks

Heidi Perks was born in October 1973 in Bournemouth. She loved writing as a child, and spent many hours making up stories, poems and even magazines that she would sell to her family for 20p.

She graduated from Bournemouth University in 1997 with a BA (Hons) in Retail Management, and then moved to London to start a career in marketing. But it wouldn’t be long before she moved back to the south coast again, where her career developed further.

In 2009 her daughter, Bethany, was born, followed two years later by a son, Joseph. Thrown into the new world of motherhood Heidi decided to make some changes to her life. She left her job and in 2012 took pen to paper and starting writing a novel based on an idea she had on holiday six months earlier.

The following year her application for a place on the inaugural Curtis Brown Creative online Novel Writing Course was accepted. Heidi became one of fifteen writers who were all coming together in an online space with the same dream: to improve their writing and their novels. With the benefit of experienced authors and agents to hand Heidi decided to make the most of the opportunity by starting a new book. And so the first chapters of Beneath The Surface were born.

With the guidance of agent Sheila Crowley, and the help and support of Clare Christian and Heather Boisseau of Red Door publishing, Heidi is finally realising her dream of seeing her first book in print. Beneath The Surface was released in March 2016.
