*ARC sent free of charge to enable me to take part in the blog tour. Today I'm rounding up the blog tour for the fantastic How to Disappear by Gillian McAllister. I absolutely loved the story and its one of my top reads this year.
You can run, you can hide, but can you disappear for good?
Lauren's daughter Zara witnessed a terrible crime. But speaking up comes with a price, and when Zara's identity is revealed online, it puts a target on her back.
The only choice is to disappear. From their family, their friends, even from Lauren's husband.
No goodbyes. Just new names, new home, new lives. One mistake - a text, an Instagram like - could bring their old lives crashing into the new.
As Lauren will learn, disappearing is easy.
Staying hidden is much harder ....
Staying hidden is much harder ....

My thoughts:
From the very first page this book gripped me and I just couldn't put it down. The story and the characters are brilliant - I came to know them well and I found I felt all the emotions (and sometimes terror) they were feeling. At points in the story my heart was absolutely pounding as I was there with them.
Lauren's daughter Zara witnesses a crime and speaks out. Things go wrong in Court and the mob are baying for her blood. When her identity is revealed online the only option for them is to go into witness protection. Lauren's husband and Zara's stepdad feels torn. He's got a daughter Poppy and his mum that he feels he can't leave behind.
There are no goodbyes and they leave - their pasts are rewritten, they've got new names and a new home miles from London. They've been told no selfies, stay off social media and most important no contact with anyone they've left behind....
Aidan decides to infiltrate the gang to make sure he's one step ahead, one false move and his family could be dead. The story is fast paced and twisty, emotional and tense and omg that ending. Just WOW. I absolutely loved this story and so highly recommend it (and I'm still thinking of it now!) Pick yours up HERE.
