Thank you Bookouture for having me on another tour and for the gifted ebook copy
DID YOU SEE EVIE? – Miranda Smith (Released April 25th, 2025)
Here’s to another fun thriller that will wipe out your day if you aren’t careful! Make sure to check out the other great bloggers from the tour and see their reviews.
Book Description:
I blink awake to the sound of whispering, and look around. Automatically, I do a count. And then I am upright, my heart racing. I count again. “Girls,” I say, trying to sound calm. “Did you see Evie?”
It was meant to be a celebration. A team sleepover in the school movies, pizza, hot chocolate. I walk among the girls, checking they’re ok. They collect in groups and giggle, play truth or dare.
Then there’s Evie. Always the outsider, just like I was. She sits apart, fiddling with her long blond hair. It seems like she wants to speak to me, but there’s a never a good time.
And when we wake up the next day, stiff and groggy, Evie is gone.
I know the girls are lying about something. I see it in their averted eyes, their sullen silences. But how can I challenge them, when I’m the worst liar of all?
Because the truth is, I’m desperate to find her. I’d do anything to protect these girls. But it’s also true that the longer she’s missing, the more risk I’m running.
You see, the night she vanished, I did something no one can ever know…
A stunning, gripping psychological thriller about the secrets of the past and the lies we tell ourselves. Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Gillian Flynn and Lucy Foley.
My Thoughts – With a highly saturated genre there are always going to be books that follow a similar formula and they can end up predictable in some ways – which isn’t necessarily the worst thing. However, there are those that keep you on your toes and throw you a curve ball with almost every chapter. DID YOU SEE EVIE? is one that falls under the second category. While this is probably more medium paced, but definitely not anywhere near a slow burn, Smith knew how to keep us guessing from the very start to that build up of an ending. Red herrings and deception always make for an engaging read. After having a couple of lackluster reads recently, this was EXACTLY what I needed and wanted. I don’t want to give away too much and take away from the experience you’ll have, but just know that you’ll need to carve out some time before starting, because you won’t want to put it down. Now, I need to find Miranda Smith’s backlist!
