About this audiobook
From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kendra Elliot.
When an eleven-year-old is abducted on her way to school, the FBI doesn’t waste a moment, sending agents to scour the area and embedding Special Agent Ava McLane with the distraught family. In the eye of the storm is local detective Mason Callahan, whose life is crumbling to pieces—he’s related to the victim, and his longtime confidential informant has just been murdered.
Both he and Agent McLane hole up in the victim’s family home. Every second counts in a kidnapping case, and the stakes keep rising the longer the girl is missing. As Ava and Mason struggle to hold the family together in their darkest hour, the two investigators find themselves drawn to each other.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good story about a prosecutor, her FBI friend, missing children and murder. Didn't have a clue who was behind all the trouble until the very end.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A good solid mystery with a touch of romance
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great storyline but I didn’t like the female narration - she made the characters more dramatic than called for which reduced from the story.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved it. This is one of my favorite series.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I didn't enjoy this as much as the Mercy Kilpatrick series, but it's still worth reading. I'm intrigued enough to read the next one in the series. The characters are interesting, but this story took too long to develop at the beginning with too much time spent on the initial crisis. I am intrigued enough to read the next one in this series about Eva McLane and Mason Callahan. If you're reading "Vanished" and tempted to give up on it, note that the second half picks up the pace and has plenty of action, suspense and romance - keep reading to the end.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Sarah Mason, who works in the District Attorney's office, stops at a convenience store for some dog food and finds herself in the middle of a robbery. The clerk is murdered, but Sarah and young Angie are able to escape the building. But when Sarah is shot, Angie runs off. She comes to in the hospital with her best friend PI Jake Hogan by her bedside.Sarah and Jake became friends when Sarah's five-year-old daughter Lexie vanished from a park in Beaufort, South Carolina, when they were on their way to a T-ball Awards party. When the police didn't seem to be doing enough, the young mother went to Jake who had just left the FBI to take over the family's investigation bureau. Seven years later, there is still no resolution for Sarah. Lexie seemingly vanished without a trace. Sarah has buried herself in her work since Lexie's disappearance. She barely eats, barely sleeps, and is hyper-focused on her grief. When she gets a phone call, purportedly from Lexie begging her for help, Jake is her first call. But Jake wants to look at who might want to cause Sarah so much pain and helps her realize that the call couldn't be from Lexie.Sarah has lots of potential sources for those who might want to derail her and sidetrack her. She is heavily involved in the Helitzer case concerning a socially prominent man who, Sarah believes, murdered his wife. She's also involved in a case where a stripper has accused a couple of cops of rape which has much of the police force turning against Sarah. There are other cases too.There are other bits of harassment after the first phone call. Someone enters Sarah's house and scatters Lexie's toys around. Someone writes a code word only known to Sarah and Lexie on Sarah's car window. And then young Angie vanishes which brings all the terrors of the day Sarah lost Lexie right back...The story was intense and fast-paced. It was emotionally harrowing to watch Sarah try to deal with her loss. It was equally harrowing to watch Jake, who had fallen deeply in love with Sarah, try to help, support, and protect the woman he has come to love. The story was narrated by Joyce Bean who did an excellent job dealing with the voices and the emotional intensity of the story.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This story started out well enough, hooked me in, and kept me interested. However, I hated the neat and tidy, happily ever ending that was unrealistic and somewhat out of left field.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5OMG is the only words that can describe this book. It was FULL of suspence and you just couldnt put this book down, well i got the audio book but still by far the best book i have read/listen to in my WHOLE LIFE!.This is about an ADA (assistant district attorney) whos 5 year old daughter vanishes right in front of her eyes. 7 years later she is caught in a convinence store buying dog food where robbers come in and shoot the teller and she is faced to save a little girl hiding in the corner.through out the book there are people who are trying to kill her and playing mean tricks on her about her daughter that is lost.mean while the little girl she saved in the robbery get kidnapped and she feels its her duty to save her since she couldnt save her daughter.**spoiler alert* dont read if you dont want to know the ending!the last 20 minutes of the book by far was the bestfinding out the JUDGE was the bad guy and running the kiddy porn shop and find out he was the one who kidnapped her daughter and sexually assualted her!!!!!!!!!!! and to find out she was ALIVE!Of course the police find the daugher and bring her home where i cried my eyes out.BEST book EVER. you will not be disappointed!
