Seven Days

Best book I’ve read in a while! Absolutely brilliant! Have just read the entire thing in one sitting, could not put it down once I Started! A definite must read.

What a book! An absolutely thrilling read that kept me hooked from the first page. Maggie is trapped and has seven days to save her son. The author uses multiple narrators to build up the plot for multiple angles and it was interesting seeing how Maggie’s predicament impacted upon other people’s lives. The short chapters made it well-paced and I thoroughly enjoyed every page.

I would highly recommend this book if you’re looking for a thrilling read.

Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of this book in return for an honest and objective review.

Read far too late into the night to finish this book. It really is a page turner , fast moving and tense.
The story switches between the past and present and between the plight of Maggie , kidnapped and held prisoner for the past 12 years, and her family. I found the characters and their situations compelling and had to read in one sitting to find out what would happen. Highly recommended.

I loved reading every page of this book! A brilliant read. All the characters I really sympathised with except the bad guy or course who I disliked intensely. So well written. The tension just didn't let up,heart in the mouth when the author was writing about the kidnapped girl and her relationship with her abductor,heart wrenchingly sad when the author was writing about the family whose child had been abducted.
Just wow!

From the very first sentence, Seven Days is absolutely gripping. This book is so full of suspense, and beautifully written making you not want to put it down. The character development felt strong and the family dynamics after a horrific event is very well written, from the parents relationship to the siblings struggle; the book shifts seamlessly from past to present without any jarring lag of who the characters are. I felt Maggie's character was well written, you could feel all of her emotions as the books progresses. This is the first Alex Lake novel I have read, and going from this I will definitely read more.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins for the copy of the book to review.

I have read other books from this author and this one did not disappoint. I loved it. Five star recommendation.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Alex Lake for the advanced copy of this book. I agreed to give my unbiased opinion voluntarily.

Wow this book is addictive and I haven't done much reading lately but this has definitely put me back on track.
The seven days refer to Maggie's son Max who is 3 in seven days and Maggie knows that on that day Max will be taken away from her. She was kidnapped 12 years ago and she knows 'The Man' will take Max away. We get to look back to her life locked away by this man and how she manages to survive in a windowless room and having to rely on her captor for everything. The family that was left when Maggie disappeared have tell their own stories and it is heartbreaking the way they have coped, (or not) and the life they are living still wondering what happened to Maggie.
This is in my opinion the best Alex Lake book so far and the writing grabs you and holds you there until the very last word.
