This book had me on the edge of my seat!. This book had me on the edge of my seat! There are so many questions I have even at the end of the book! Cassie comes from a troubled past and in order to get out of her current bad situation has decided to get a job as an au pair to get away from it all. Landing a job, she heads to France to work for a family, but has some weird vibes on her way there that only intensify as she starts her job. The multiple family dynamics were interesting, but I definitely felt that I was continuously missing information as the book went on in all aspects of the characters. In the end, it definitely had me question who was the “good” person in the storyline. Another interesting thing is this entire book spanned less than a week, which seemed crazy that all of it happened in a short amount of time. I am definitely intrigued to read the next book in the series to see if things resolve itself or if they get more confusing. It wasn’t necessarily a cut and dry storyline nor with the characters and I’m interested if all the books will be that way or just this one. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Compelling Story. ALMOST GONE is a compelling suspense story. You can easily feel the main character's fears and frustrations as she attempts to navigate a challenging overseas assignment. Well-written and fast-paced, this book kept me engaged from the first page to the last. Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book.

Almost Gone. Expected Pierre to be the culprit.

Almost Gone. Good book

Riveting!. Difficult to put down! Moved along quickly. I think the ex-boyfriend could have been left out although it did show Cassie’s growth as an adult.

Loved this book. This was a really great suspenseful story. This book had me hooked throughout and it was hard to put down. The story had me on the edge of my seat. A very well written story that I recommend reading. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Almost Gone Should Be. I have read all of the Blake Pierce books in each series and enjoyed them — until now. The Au Pair is asinine at best. I unfortunately purchased all three in the series in advance but will not be reading the other two because I couldn’t force myself to finish the first one. So disappointed!

Great Read. As always another great read. I love this author as he keeps you on the edge of your seat. Will definitely read book 2 in this series.

Predictable. The writing style is very predictable and I didn’t care for the story line

Almost gone. Riveting!

Idiotic. She keeps making stupid decisions even though there are dire consequences. It has soo much potential but she is just idiotic

Almost Gone. This book is very similar to “The Turn of the Screw”

Mystery. Set in France, this mystery with an US Au Pair is sent to a group of children who seem to be living with a severely controlling father and his former mistress/fiancée, a former model after the mother of the children has died unexpectedly in a severe traffic fatality. It is a mess an the poor girl is completely inadequate to effect the care of these damaged children. That is just the beginning and it gets worse. Not great literature but an interesting read if mystery is your bait.

Decent enough...... I suppose the title of this review doesn’t make the book sound thrilling, but it is worth the time to read. There are several twists, and the story moves rapidly. My main problem is that I am not sure that I like the main character. Cassandra is a complex person with a problematic past, but her decisions are not always the best.

Almost gone. Irritating read, predictable and unrealistic. I will not be reading more of this series

Great read!. Great book, all his books are good, a packed few days in the life of an au pair along with strong characters and real-life problems! Very entertaining.

Captivating. Great read and unputdownable.

Interesting. I was intrigued to read this book due to the other series written by Blake. At first I thought that the plot wasn’t something that Blake would write. It had taken me a quarter way through reading the book I realised that ah yes this is Blake’s signatory writing of plots and characters. I certainly understand Cassie’s past and could put myself in her shoes and understand how she could react the way she did. I didn’t view the ending that way.... great new series...

Almost Done. What was the point? It was lacking substance and hinged upon characters that were thinly disguised cliches.
