Overall this book kept me interested. I liked the way some chapters kept going farther into the past and explaining the back story. It started to lose me about 3/4 of the way through though. I found the main characters actions started to get a bit unbelievable. I still wanted to see what happened though. But the ending left me really unsatisfied. I gave it a three because it held my interest but overall I would recommend people read it once but I wouldn't read it again. There was some blasphemy and profanity. ( )
Hannah's husband Owen disappears, leaving her, with step-daughter Bailey, to try and figure out where he is and why he left. Hannah turns detective, but what she uncovers brings danger into their lives. How this is all resolved is something that I didn't expect, and I liked the ending quite a bit. I would recommend this book. ( )
This was a very enjoyable book. It was a mystery because the whole premise of the book is that Owen Michaels disappears. This leaves Hannah to try to find out why and to decipher his parting message- the "last thing" he told her. More importantly, she has to determine "what defines her", and what defines a family. Can she be for Bailey what her grandfather was for her- the stand-in for a family but exactly what she needed? I really liked the main character, Hannah. She was strong and understanding, and she paid attention! Bailey starts off immature and self-centered but matures by the end. Very satisfying ending. (I admit I teared up a little at the last page.) 5 stars! ( )
rabck from dabercro; Very fast paced and hooked from the start. Owen, single father of 16 yo Bailey, married Hannah a year ago...and now she gets a note saying "protect her". And Bailey gets a duffle bag of cash and a short note too. The company Owen worked for is being raided by the SCC. Hannah decides to see if she can find Owen, but with the US Marshal and Agents reaching out to her, who can she trust. She remembers Owen mentioning Austin, Texas and she hopes that Austin, which has some vague memories for Bailey, will open a clue. And you're not sure how you want the story to end. ( )
I listened to this book on Audible and it was just thing for a recent road trip. Suspenseful, held my attention, likeable characters and a few surprise twists and turns. It wasn’t high on my “to read” list, but I’m glad I did. ( )

Owen used to like to tease me about how I lose everything, about how, in my own way, I have raised losing things to an art form.

This is the thing about good and evil. They aren’t so far apart—-and they often start from the same valiant place of wanting something to be different.

But I smile as they walk up. How can I not? Bailey is smiling too. She is smiling at me. “Mom,” she says.
