The Vanishing Year

The Vanishing Year by Kate Moretti
Print and ebook, 304 pages
Published: September 27th 2016 by Atria Books

 Zoe Whittaker is living a charmed life. She is the beautiful young wife to handsome, charming Wall Street tycoon Henry Whittaker. She is a member of Manhattan’s social elite. She is on the board of one of the city’s most prestigious philanthropic organizations. She has a perfect Tribeca penthouse in the city and a gorgeous lake house in the country. The finest wine, the most up-to-date fashion, and the most luxurious vacations are all at her fingertips.

What no one knows is that five years ago, Zoe’s life was in danger. Back then, Zoe wasn’t Zoe at all. Now her secrets are coming back to haunt her.

As the past and present collide, Zoe must decide who she can trust before she—whoever she is—vanishes completely.


My thoughts about The Vanishing Year ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

First line—'Lately, I've been dreaming about my mother. Not Evelyn, the only mother I've ever known, the woman who raised me and loved me and taught me to swim in the fresh water of Lake Chabot, bake a sticky sweet pecan pie, fly-fish.'

The Vanishing Year is an edge of your seat, you'll never guess what's coming, kind of story. This book blew me away and I was so tense in some parts that I couldn't read fast enough. I just wanted to get everyone through it, safe and sound. Whew! And I loved every minute of it!!

There are so many secrets in this story, so many twists and turns, and so many people who are not who you think they are. Some of the characters do things you wouldn't think they would or could do.

What an intense ride this journey took me on and it kept me guessing up to the very end. I love when that happens and this is a story I won't forget anytime soon. I am definitely going to check out other books by Kate Moretti.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? September 26, 2016


It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's an opportunity to visit other blogs and to comment on their reads. And ... you can add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are!

**************************************

Well, we survived the wedding. And..... I pretty much slept the whole way back in the car, so I didn't get in the reading time like I had hoped. Oh, well. Later this week is the state library conference so I will get to spend 3 days with librarians and book people. One of the authors I am excited to connect with is April Henry. She is going to be there giving a session. She writes mainly YA mystery, which is a nice change (for me at least) from YA paranormal, romance, and fantasy. It should be a great conference and it is nice to connect with library people from around the state.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a great week. Happy reading!

Whew! Just spent the weekend watching a couple of grandkids. I love it but it's amazing what I DON'T get done when they are here. This coming weekend, we are heading to Iowa for a nephew's wedding. I am looking forward to the car time so I can get some reading/listening time in. In reality, I'll probably sleep most of the time. Something about riding in a car -- I have a hard time staying awake. I'll have to take some really enticing books with me.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a great week. Happy reading!
