How long would you be gone before someone took action?

Lillian wakes up on Valentine's Day in an exact replica of her bedroom but the only item that she knows is authentic is her puppy, Laude. She is held captive in her kidnapper's basement, summoned upstairs once a week for a chaste dinner. But will his kindness last, and more importantly, why isn’t anyone looking for her?

Lillian’s story is interwoven with that of Nathan, a NYPD officer, who is intrigued by Lillian’s disappearance- how can a young woman be gone for two weeks before a Missing Person Report is filed? With no jurisdiction, no resources, and no witnesses, he is compelled to obsessively take up the case. Will he find her in time?

5.0 out of 5 stars Hoping for more from this writer
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2014

Like others have pointed out - the story is choppy is some ways over the identity of the main character - perhaps if A. R. had some volunteer readers before this was published that could have been pointed out to her. Over all I thought it was an excellent book with a lot of promise for future books. I have, as I am sure others have, lived a life that perhaps few people would have noticed I was missing - that terror stuck in my throat - and kept me reading the book. Thank goodness for Nathan, having the tenacity to keep looking for her and not giving up. I would hope that future books include a continuing relationship between the two - it certainly has a solid foundation to keep it going.

I was not a fan of the formatting of the book - with the crazy Upper Case/ Lower case of the headings - it is distracting and does nothing to add to the book - nor does starting the beginning paragraph with a lower case letter. I would have thought if the book had an editor - that would have been pointed out to A. R.

So overall - give this book a chance - I gave it a 5 star rating - because the story is good - and I see promise for future books - ignore the typos - and layout - and read the content of the story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, well developed plot
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2014

The plot of this book was solid and credible.
Even though I had pretty much deduced the culprit in the early part of the story, I had to keep reading to find out how it ended and how Nathan figured it all out. Even after the culprit was revealed there was still more to be done to resolve the plot.
Although it was a little disconcerting to start a few days into the story then be jerked back to the beginning, only to re-read the same words later in sequence. I suppose that I might not have bothered with this book had it not been done in that manner, because the filling in of the background was a little slow and I kept reading in anticipation of getting back to where the action began.
My major complaints have nothing to do with the story or its plot.
I have to say that it took a little bit of effort to get used to the strange diary like entries.
The Kindle edition appeared to have been scanned and processed by an OCR because their were strangely placed line breaks and page numbers along with the author's name in several places. That may account for the odd beginnings of the entries which all started off with a single letter usually lowercase on a line. A little judicious editing could clean that up.
I also noticed several minor editing/typographical errors that could be attributed to the scanning process as well.
In addition to the odd lowercase starting of each entry their was also the odd mixed case presentation of the name of one of the protagonists at the start of his entries. And their were a couple of places where the notation was missing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lily's Gone
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2015

Genevieve Lillian Brannon is having a hard time getting over the sudden death of her parents in an automobile accident. She is also reeling from the unexpected withdrawal of her Aunt Florence who had been like a second mother to her. After the funeral, Florence moved into a senior citizen complex and gave her condo in Long Beach to Lily. But then she made it plain that she didn't want to have any more contact with her. Lily is also unhappy with her job. Lily's solace is her dog Laude and her best friend Anne. Happily married Anne thinks Lily needs a man in her life and gives her a membership to Journey to Love, an Internet dating site. But after her first date, Lily disappears. Anne tries to get the police to look into it but they think Lily left of her own accord.

Nathan is with the NYPD. His friend Steve is with the Long Beach police department. When Steve is given the case and is basically doing a very cursory investigation, Nathan sees some things that just don't fit and decides to look into it on his own.

I really liked this book. I liked the characters, I liked the hint of romance, and I liked the mystery. It kept me guessing til the end. There is a definite end to this book but I see that A R Kennedy is continuing with these characters in some more books. I have the next one . Can't wait to dive in. Try this book. I think you'll like it.

Genevieve Lillian or Lilly is a single woman living on her own after losing her parents in a car crash. Annie is her best friend and has decided Lilly should be dating. Lilly is kidnapped. Nathan is the detective searching for her. The writing is strangely arranged as the paragraphs are weirdly done. The main body of the writing is good and the mistakes are grammar and sentence structure. The characters are very much alive and easy to care about. I enjoyed this story.

4.0 out of 5 stars okay read
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2024

This was a quick easy read. There were some typos and I wish it was more suspenseful. I didn’t really feel closure at the end, but I guess that’s due to the fact it continues for several series. It didn’t end on a cliffhanger, but there was still enough left open to continue the series. I really expected her friend Annie to do some groveling, but that didn’t happen

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow kept me guessing
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2019

The storyline moved very well. I got caught up in the unbelievable situation to the point where it was almost believable. Not many people have a truly good friend and a stranger who will stop at nothing to find out what happened. I almost hated to see the book end. In fact a couple more chapters would have been good to continue. There were no sex scenes and only a few 'F' words that I didn't think were necessary. There were a few grammar and editing mistakes but once you were in the story you just ignored them. All in all a great read.

A series that you can’t put down. I was hooked with the first book and fell in love with the characters. I just had to read all the books in the series back to back. I now must read some of her other books. Please can we have another series of books like the Nathan Miccoli series Ms Kennedy? I read you were considering developing books around other characters from this series. I would love that! Thank you for you wonderful books ❤️

A heartwarming tale that twists and turns and slowly unfolds as lives are intertwined both by chance and by intention. The premise of “who would miss you if you disappeared “ is an interesting one to ponder. Well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read

I really enjoyed this book. In the beginning it made me feel uncomfortable and panicky. It was so creepy.

Lily goes missing and people only seem to notice her dog, Laude, hasn’t been around.

Lily wakes to find herself in what she first thinks is her bedroom but something feels “off”. She soon finds out that she is in a replica room. How has this happened? Who put her here and how long will she be here?

I found myself reading this at every opportunity. I can’t wait to read the next instalment. I have already bought it.
