I just wish they included more sheet music. With just the lyrics published you have to make up your own melody. One of the Best Works of B.

This is also a book, I thought I had figured it out, and was wrong. I love when this happens. I really enjoy when an Author surprises me. A young Couple, Finn and Layla are traveling through France when they pull over and Finn goes into the restroom. An investigation ensues but Layla is never found. She has completely vanished. Her belongings are still in the car but there is no sign of her.
She is never seen or heard from again. What happened to her? Finn is devastated and isolates for a long time. Finn, is finally ready to move on with his life and has found love again - with Layla's sister, Ellen. Drawn together in their grief, they form a relationship which becomes romantic. Now, they are engaged to be married and everything seems to be going great.
Then one day, Ellen finds a missing Russian doll which she lost when she was a child. Then Finn also begins to find more Russian dolls and receives messages from an unknown person who later reveals herself as Layla. Welcome to Finn's nightmare. Is Layla still alive? Is someone toying with him? Why get in touch now? What do the messages and dolls signify? Finn suspects anyone and everyone. Who wouldn't be freaked out.
Oh, what a tangled web we weave! Was this my favorite B. Paris book? But as I said, she did a great job crafting her story. She had me thinking about it hours after finishing the book. This book moves at a very nice pace and for me was a fast read. The mystery of what really happened the night Layla went missing and who is leaving behind the dolls and sending email messages really drive the story. So why not a higher rating?
I still felt there were some unanswered questions and the need to suspend some disbelief. I also felt the ending was a little rushed. Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. See more of my reviews at www. Blame it on B. Because Bring Me Back was no exception on that front. Simple, yet forceful and imaginative.
Not every story is going to work for every reader. The characters never seemed to come to life. I felt as though we were only shown outlines and whispers of what was intended to be a solid, complex cast.
I wanted to know them better, each of them, but never got the chance. Much of the story felt like a wild mental goose chase, circling around the same issue without much progression or variety.
I wanted to see more events unfold for myself, rather than being told what took place. True talent, and I look forward to more! Thanks a bunch for the digital copy, Dearest Netgalley!

But as is so often the case, the pas Well done B. But as is so often the case, the past has a nasty habit of finding its way to the surface. For some readers it was just too much. For me I loved it! I had my own set of dolls growing up and it actually brought back some fond memories. This book will keep you guessing to the final page. I had that rare fluttering of excitement the entire time reading this book. And by the time I reached the end I was still left with a cliff-hangar moment.
This is my third book by B. Paris and by far my favorite so far! Cannot wait for her next!! A fantastic Traveling Sister read! Paris for an ARC to read in exchange for an honest review.

Every single theory I had about where the plot was going was given to the main character as part of his ideas at a little past the halfway point, and I was stuck there with my jaw dropped thinking, well then.
This author just flipped the script and threw out everything I was thinking so where are we going to go from here?! I did figure it out at about three quarter Addictive, fast-paced, and mind boggling! Thanks a mil to B. View all 60 comments. It was an extremely enjoyable, entertaining, fun, and ridiculous psychological thriller novel that had me totally engrossed and interested right from the very first page.
The ps 4. The psychological aspect to this novel I thought was extremely clever and well executed. Paris tells a story though. There were definitely some questionable storytelling and one liners here that had me rolling my eyes a little bit but all in all nothing really irked me and I absolutely loved the Epilogue.
Paris for that!! PARIS delivers a very readable, unique and fun story here with unreliable characters that weaves back and forth in a then and now perspective with short chapters to make this an extremely quick and easy read.
So if you are looking for a compulsive read with the help of some Russian Stacking Dolls to solve this mystery then this book is for you! Would recommend! Paris for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book. View all 78 comments. Another great book of the month choice by the Traveling Friends! Finn and Layla were madly in love over a decade ago, until one fateful night Layla goes missing from a gas station parking lot, never to be seen or heard from again.
Finn and Layla's sister Ellen fall in love some years later and are s 3, I'm never going to get it right, turns out I'm the worst detective - don't call me if you need help solving a mystery stars! Finn and Layla's sister Ellen fall in love some years later and are set to be married. Following their wedding announcement, Finn and Ellen begin receiving Russian nesting dolls the meaning of which connects Ellen and Layla from their childhood and thus commences the mystery!
Who is sending these dolls? Is it really Layla? If so, where has she been? Why is she back now? This is my second B. Paris novel and while I did like this more than Behind Closed Doors I still couldn't bring myself to make the leap from 3 stars to 4. A has a unique ability to build suspense, sometimes seemingly without an actual story to back it up honestly, a feat I can't even begin to comprehend. However, there wasn't a lot of thrill here. I did read this in less than 24 hours and that is a testimate to the entertainment value of the book.
There are 2 main POVs and we do get a "before" and "now" view of the story chapter to chapter. I didn't find it overly distracting in this, however, I also don't think it added anything here for me either.
The character development was surprisingly sub-par for me. Aside from our 3 main players, we have Finn's best friend Harry. Harry is the real MVP of this story. The kind of support he's given Finn throughout his life is truly unbelievable.
BUT, we aren't given any background into that. I don't understand where this loyalty came from or see at all how Finn earned this. There's some traditional and not so traditional red herring stuff going on in here but it isn't overwhelming and I felt like it was pretty well done.
It certainly kept my focus from what the outcome actually ended up being. The ending is 'tied up nicely' in that you're given a final "a-ha" moment and B. I appreciate that the novel is self-contained but I personally prefer to be given information steadily throughout with a moment in the end where it all comes together but it isn't given to me. Past that, again, the ending didn't feel fully developed to me.
While all the questions were answered, I don't really feel it was all that plausible. I kind of feel like B.
I think if Bring Me Back intrigues you and you're feeling the synopsis it's definitely worth picking up! I've been binging so many of these types of novels it's hard to not compare and this one just wasn't quite up to that 4th star for me. View all 19 comments. Whoop whoop this authors done it again, shes brought me to my reading knees. This authors view on domestic noir is amazing, never seems to fail making my spine tingle and that hairs on the back of my neck come up on end.
I always feel a chill when I read B A Paris books. Finns girlfriend went missing while they were travelling on holiday some 12 years ago. Never found.
Time has moved on for Finn now, he is engaged to Emma who happens to be his missing girlfriends sister! What a well weaved story. Th Whoop whoop this authors done it again, shes brought me to my reading knees.
Then we find that Finn left out some things when reporting his girlfriend missing. I did guess a few things as the story went on, it didn't detract from the enjoyment one iota, it enhanced it I thought.
Its laid out in alternating chapters between two main characters. The tension sure build brick upon solid brick. Dark secrets. Gripping storyline. Sleep with the lights ON. My thanks to HQ and Net Galley or my early copy. View all 33 comments. Apr 26, Mackenzie - PhDiva Books rated it it was amazing Shelves: netgalley , psychological-thrillers. Unsettling in the best possible way!!! Paris really has a way with messed up characters and disturbing situations.
This book is a mind game from the first chapter right through the very last page. I finished this book two days ago and the story is haunting me! What a great read! Most of those seem to struggle connect Unsettling in the best possible way!!! Most of those seem to struggle connecting with the characters. I urge readers to give this book time! And I think some characters will ultimately surprise you—all are not telling the full story right away, which made the development points for each character so compelling.
This is a book that grows in suspense and makes you uneasy, right along with the characters. Instantly, Finn forgets his current girlfriend and develops strong feelings for the enigmatic Layla. A year into their relationship Finn and his Layla are on their way home from a vacation in France, when they pull over so Finn can use the restroom.
Finn looks everywhere but Layla is gone… Now Finn has moved away from his cottage with Layla to a new home in Simonsbridge. After a long grieving period, Finn moved on to other relationships before falling for Ellen, whom he has just gotten engaged to. Until one day Ellen find a small token on the wall outside their house… The token is innocuous to all but Ellen and Finn. You see, there is only one person outside of themselves who could possibly know the meaning of this token…Layla. But how can that be?
Is it possible Layla is still alive? Finn in a way is his own worst enemy. He is such a passionate person, and so was Layla. This is what drew them together. But you can see his struggle to truly forget the past.
The love of Finn and Layla was entirely different from the love Finn shares with Ellen. One thing that was particularly engaging about the storyline was the lack of closure. As much as Finn wants to convince himself that Layla is likely dead, her disappearance and lack of finality leaves that small part in his brain that makes him wonder if it is possible she did survive somehow.
That lack of closure would drive anyone mad, particularly when the token shows up. The story is somewhat slow, but steady. It is never stagnant. This was one that I looked forward to diving back into each time I had to put it down.
Paris has continued to write such compelling novels, and I look forward to her next one! My sincerest gratitude to St. Paris for providing me an Advanced Reader Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Finn is the guy entangled between Ellen and Layla. I trusted non Great beginning I trusted none of the characters from beginning to end. To me — this book can be compared with a meal that satisfies your hunger.. It has some shrewd distinctive mysterious moments. I think most B. Thank You St.

Is that why Ellen has brought me here, why she left the link to CalMac ferries on her computer, because Layla is there? I like strong characters in my books, no matter what genre, and Layla, Ellen and Finn are not well described or developed. We know very little of their lives except what is happening in the present, and even that is questionable since they are unreliable narrators.
He runs in to pay, she stays in the car. When he returns her car door has been left open, but she's not inside. No one ever sees her again. Has his first love somehow come back to him after all this time? Or is the person who took her playing games with his mind? View all 38 comments. Jan 29, Linda rated it really liked it Shelves: mystery-thrillers , net-galley. Plans that most certainly go awry.
A young British couple seem to be pivoting on a dangerously slippery slope that was never left behind on a skiing trip in France. Finn, an investment broker, pulls his car off the road in a secluded area in order to use the restroom facility.
He leaves his girlfriend, Layla, asleep in the passenger seat. When he returns, Layla is missing. DMCA and Copyright : The book is not hosted on our servers, to remove the file please contact the source url.
