I greatly enjoyed this book, thank you for giving me a preview copy. The plot was interesting and fast paced and I sympathised with the characters. This is the first novel I have read by this author but I hope it will not be the last!

Wow. This is my first Louise Jensen and I was hooked from the first page, finishing it in one sitting as I couldn’t put it down. The relationship between the sisters is compelling and the building tension and overriding sense of danger throughout kept me turning those pages. As a thriller reader it is rare that an author manages to grab my attention and keep me guessing until the end, but Jensen manages it here with twists that I did not see coming. I will definitely be seeking out her previous titles now. Thank you netgalley for the advance copy and for introducing me to this terrific author.

Well, I’m just a teeny bit blown away by this!! Should apologise to my kids for a very late dinner but I just couldn’t put it down!!
Sorry but not giving any spoilers or plot, but what I will say is how much I felt for the main characters in this, where we get to meet them in different timelines, which works brilliantly. 
The amount of thought and research that’s evidently gone into the creation is clear to see. It’s fast paced and definitely one you just have to keep reading. 
So far I’ve read every one of Louise Jensen’s books and I think this is my favourite one yet. Can not recommend this highly addictive book enough!!

20 years ago 13 year old Carly Sinclair was looking after her 8 year old twin sisters Leah and Marie when the three of them were kidnapped. Snatched in broad daylight by two men.
Now  as the 20th Anniversary approaches, Carly is single, unable to trust anyone, Marie is an out of work actress who turns to drink to forget and Leah is married to George and has a young son Archie but suffers from a form of paranoia and OCD that makes her almost impossible to live with. 
The sisters are besieged with offers from TV and press to tell their story but there are some things that should remain secret even from those closest to you. As they each try to navigate the anniversary in their own way, secrets from the past and the present come to the fore to threaten the future.
Great plot, I did find it a little slow in parts but the last third was absolutely thrilling. Twists I didn’t see coming. It was brilliant and original.

A truly twisty, emotional thriller with real and troubled characters. I thought Leah's OCD was portrayed very well, and the pain all three sisters still felt 20 years after their abduction was palpable. Plenty of surprises and a fast pace to keep you gripped.

This is my first book by Louise Jensen and I found it to be a very intriguing read.
I really liked the characters of the 3 sisters and enjoyed how the story went from past to present which really helped shape the story and keep you enthralled. Any story involving children and a kidnapping can be a very heart wrenching read and especially with children of your own but I feel that this was written perfectly and sensitively. 
I enjoyed the chapters regarding the kidnapping and how the 3 of them once adults dealt with the trauma of what they went through on that frightful day of the kidnapping.
I did find some of the story long winded and did find myself wanting to skim the pages to find out what the next twist was but all in all I really enjoyed The Stolen Sisters and would highly recommend it.

Wow! I have loved the two books by Louise Jenson I have read previously, The Sister and The Surrogate...but this was just in a different league.

Twisty, dark, in some places quite emotional..I loved the plot twists and the ending was a complete surprise. Jensen writes in a fast paced and gripping style, with short chapters and each character giving their own point of view, this is exactly the kind of psychological thriller I remember for weeks after finishing and recommend to everyone who asks for a good new read. 

I received an ARC from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I am clearly in the minority but I found this book disappointing. I have enjoyed Louise Jensen's book before but this one didn't work for me.

On the positive side, I did like the three sisters and the unshakeable bond that got them through the ordeal of being kidnapped. For me the kidnapping flashbacks were by far the most interesting and well-written part of the book, ramping up tension even though I already knew all three survived by making me wonder what horrific things they'd need to do to escape. Instead, that storyline sort of fizzled out and the end of the first part supplied a twist that not only did I find implausible but also negated all the tension that had gone before.

From that point on, the characters behaved in increasingly unlikely ways and I lost all involvement in the plot. The author seemed to be trying hard to ramp up the tension again by ending virtually every chapter with 'But that wasn't NEARLY as shocking as what happened NEXT!!'; unfortunately, that plus some chapters being only a single paragraph long only served to annoy me. If you have to telegraph the shocking nature of your plot that hard, it's probably not that shocking.

So, overall, a strong premise let down by the execution and inconsistent characterisation. Clearly most people enjoyed it, though!

Another novel that takes you on a tense and twisted journey into the unknown by the queen of psychological surprises. 
I know I should expect it but I started reading this with the intention of reading one chapter but in the end everything was put on hold until I finished the book. 

The main focus on the novel is Leah who has a history of severe mental health issues after the traumas of her childhood as one of the stolen sisters. As an unreliable narrator, it is hard to work out where the plot is going and as the the story develops the tension increases as no one believes what she is saying. The description of the clown graffiti will haunt me for days.

The story of three sisters abducted has such twists and turns and is truly captivating.  Read this book in less than a day it was so good.   Didn't know who the perpetrators was until the end so in that sense it was brilliant.  Louise Jensen knows how to write a great,  entertaining story

Wow!  Louise Jensen is a fantastic storyteller and I was totally gripped by The Stolen Sisters from the very start.  The story of three sisters kidnapped, their escape, the upcoming 20th anniversary, lies, secrets and not knowing who to trust.

My fellow bloggers will be able to relate to this but how on earth are you supposed to write a review when the book is this good? My main is reeling and I’ve been blown away! I can’t think on how to review The Stolen Sisters it’s just another level of book!

The last Louise Jenson story I read was The Family and I remember feeling the same afterwards. Staring at my tablet trying to come up with the words that describe what talent Louise has! 

Telling the story of The Sinclair Sister, three sisters that were abducted when they were children. Set in the past and present this tells the story of the abduction and the aftermath now they’re adults. All the sisters are very different but struggling in their own ways. Just because they’re physically free doesn’t mean they don’t have struggles with the past.

“Monsters walk among us and sometimes they look like you. Sometimes they look like me.”

I raced through this story and read in one sitting. Make sure you have a free day before opening The Stolen Sisters! Breathtaking suspense, a gripping story plus fantastic characters and a phenomenal author! 
I found the pacing a little confusing at times but that’s me desperately looking for a negative about this book!

Stop reading reviews and order this book! You won’t read better this year.

A well written psychological thriller with an ample smattering of red herrings to keep you on your toes. Emotionally packed and sinister. Enjoyed the ride!

Meet the Sinclair Sisters… It’s no secret that the three sisters are taken and then returned. That’s not a spoiler. I remember watching an Author interview with Louise and she made it very clear that she didn’t want to be writing that kind of story where the reader is in turmoil wondering if they ever make it out… So for a while I thought, ‘But what is the story going to be about then?’ Where is the mystery? Where will the trauma be? That thought didn’t last long. I remember being hit with a twist…another twist…and another twist…and actually stopping for a breather and wondering where this book was going next. Louise Jensen spun a devestating story which you expect cannot get worse…but oh it does.

Having read the previous book by this author I was looking forward to this one and it doesn’t disappoint.

Twenty years ago Carly and her 8 year old twin sisters Marie and Leah were kidnapped. Although they managed to escape, the trauma of that day has blighted each of their lives. As the 20th anniversary of their ordeal approaches and more discoveries about that day come to light, will the sisters be able finally put the past behind them?

A compelling story. Lots of twists and turns. An excellent read.

Oh my goodness what a rollercoaster. Every time I pick up one of Louise's books I know I am in for a treat but oh my goodness this might be her best yet. Omg the twists and turns! I kept thinking I had it figured out and each time realised I was totally wrong! And the end of part one 😱🤯 amazing.

this is so good . 3 sisters two are twins Lea and Marie . Carly is the eldest sister who has to look after her sisters when parents working . she wants to be with her boyfriend so not happy but that day does not go well the 3 sisters are kidnapped outside there house they survive and today is the 20th anniversary. one is married the other two are not how this story  unfolds is brilliant i cried

Entertaining read,that had a few predictable plot lines,but also kept throwing unexpected things in too.
Went along at a nice steady pace until the end when I felt it really ramped up the tension.
Don't mind admitting there was a line or two near the end that made me a bit emotional.
The whole cast of characters seemed crazy,but I couldn't help but like the sisters.

Another amazing book by Louise Jensen; read it within two days it was unputdownable and very addictive.

The book is from each sister’s point of view; Leah, Marie and Carly and what happened leading up to their kidnap and how they have changed as adults following the event, either for the better or for worse.

Louise Jensen has done it again by including a psychological disorder into the book to give you a sense of the realness and how people can still be traumatised by something that has happened in their childhood.

Twenty years earlier, the Sinclair sisters - thirteen year old Carly and eight year old twins Leah and Marie - were taken, snatched from the street near their home. The effect on their lives of this childhood ordeal has been devastating. Carly as an adult  is unable to trust or form relationships. Marie’s chaotic life is spiralling further down. And Leah on the surface looks to have her life together, with a husband, young child and part time job, but that belies the reality of a life lived in constant fear.

The story alternated between past and present, recounting what happened to the girls back then, interspersed with what’s happening now. Is there a basis for Leah’s fear that the past is still a danger to them?

This book already has a lot of rave reviews - people seem to absolutely love it - but it just didn’t entirely grab me for some reason. Maybe it was just me. There were things I appreciated - the long term impact on the girls of their ordeal is never underplayed, and the portrayal of Leah’s mental health issues is sensitively done. I’m always glad to see OCD - a widely misunderstood and misrepresented condition - being understood for the hell it is, too, so an extra star for that.

I didn’t always get on with the writing style, though. There are a lot of “She couldn’t believe what she saw next” type of cliffhanger chapter endings, and I felt this was overused to the point of becoming annoying. And maybe I’m just too cynical, but the shocking twist at the end of part one didn’t come as that much of a surprise.

A good read nevertheless which has clearly hit the mark for many people.
