Description

Is her child really missing? Or did he never really exist? "I honestly don’t think I’ve ever read a book that made me gasp out loud as much..." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After a difficult few months, Karina's looking forward to a short break in Turkey with her husband and four-year-old son, Jacob. The marriage has been showing signs of strain lately, so it’ll be a chance to relax, enjoy some good food, and more importantly, reconnect with the people she loves the most. But on their first morning, Karina is startled to discover she’s slept in late. Where’s Jacob? He’s usually an early riser who likes to tumble into their bed first thing, pestering them to make him breakfast. A needle of fear spikes through Karina’s veins. She rushes to his room, but his bed is empty and he’s nowhere to be found in the villa. Frantic with worry, she raises the alarm with her husband – but he stares at her blankly, like she’s out of her mind. He says he has no idea what she’s talking about. They don’t have any children, and he’s never heard of a boy called Jacob… -- What readers are saying about The Phantom Child: “What??! Are you for real??? This book is gripping and the twists are WILD!!!!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I didn't see the main twist coming and it absolutely blew me away... it had me jumping up and gasping out loud – I was on a train at the time, and the woman in front of me actually clutched her pearls!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A fantastic read that literally had me on the edge of my seat with my head spinning like I was on the exorcist.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I finished it in a day because I couldn’t stop turning the pages!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “The ending completely shook me” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I couldn't turn the pages quickly enough to see what happens next.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “...a thoroughly compelling and engrossing story.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Great read and great plot twists. They just kept coming!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “...takes you on a wild roller coaster of a ride right from the start, with twists and turns every few pages.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “...a masterful exploration of paranoia, anxiety, and the ability of the mind to shape reality.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read more

Loved!!!!!
Format: Kindle
My Review: Mind blown!!!!! Another great book by this wonderful author. This is only my second book by this author and he’s impressed me so much. I can’t stop reading him for the life of me. Both books I read were full of twists and turns that I did not see coming not in a million years. They were also a roller coaster ride of every emotion available. I didn’t know whether to be happy or sad or both at the same time. Mainly though I was shocked and speechless by the end of both the books. This one in particular struck a cord with me. I’m not sure whether it was the awesome characters or the intense plot or it could have been that rocking ending that did it for me but this one had it all. I will definitely be reading more by this author. In conclusion, the plot, the characters and all the twists in this book made this book an enjoyable read. I would definitely recommend it and happily give it 5 Hearts❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ... show more

Not happy with the ending
Format: Kindle
This book was going really well till the last paragraph. I feel the ending was a bit abrupt. I read the book in one day, it was that good. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Karina wakes one morning while on vacation with her husband and son to find her son gone. All existence of him has been erased. Her husband finally convinces her she never had a son. That does not stop her from thinking about him from time to time. How can you forget your own child? ... show more

More like a 3.5
Format: Kindle
This was a fast read for me. I nearly stopped at 50% but I just HAD to keep going to find out if the child was real or not! I won’t spoil the ending but I admit I just could not tell! I did not enjoy the twist at the end. It felt pointless and I’m confused about why the author felt the need for it. On one hand I kind of admire it not being so cut and dried but on the other it felt unnecessary and kind of like an afterthought. All in all a good read that kept me in suspense. ... show more

Twisty Plot!!
Format: Paperback
The plot was incredibly engaging. From page one, I immediately connected with Karina (moms everywhere will understand why, haha). There were twists and turns I didn't see coming and that were so captivating. And just when you think it's all settled, WHAM! Another big shocker! I did feel that the writing was simple- sometimes I felt as though the writer was spending too much time reminding us (as the reader) of things that had happened to ensure that we would remember and see why it was important. That said, the plot definitely carries it through and I'd recommend this read. ... show more

The Phantom Child
Format: Kindle
A vacation in Turkey is just what Karina thinks will put some love back into her stalled family. With a husband that is distant, unhelpful with their 4 year old child Jacob she is hopeful, Until it wasn't. A fast paced, well written storyline. Plenty of twists to draw you in. A bit slow in the beginning but stepped up, the ending is the BOMB! ... show more

Excellent read
Format: Kindle
Very interesting concept and I read it quickly to the end. The only negative I have to say is no mother that had a child for 4 years would ever be able to forget her baby. Maybe a child under 2 years old, but the book definitely kept my interest.

I loved it, loved it, loved it! What a well written book with drama and excitement. I believe this is my first book by this writer but it certainly won't be my last. If I could give more stars, I would.
