Book Review: If I Disappear

-

*I received this book as an e-ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.*

Holy.  Butternut.  Squash.

This book had me feeling nauseous from the start - in that good thriller type of way.  I didn't want my lunch breaks at work to end because all I wanted to do was keep reading.  When I was reading it on the treadmill at the gym, I felt the urge to crank up the speed and run.  If I Disappear made my heart rate climb as though I was riding a rollercoaster and it was so freakin' awesome.

This is Eliza Jane Brazier's debut novel and she came in with guns blazing.  I couldn't connect much to the main character, Sera, but I couldn't get enough of the predicament she got herself tangled in.  The crime podcast concept was unique and set this novel apart from others I've read.  I got a lot of A Simple Favor/The Girl on the Train vibes from this story, so if you're a fan of Hawkins or Bell you will quickly become a fan of Brazier.  I, for one, can't wait to read what she releases next.

If you want an intense read that is guaranteed to give you goosebumps, If I Disappear is the book for you.  For that reason, I give it 5 leaves!
If I Disappear was released January 26, 2021.  It is available to purchase through major retailers, or my personal favorite book distributor, Bookshop.  Buy through Bookshop, support local bookstores!
