„My
best friend, Emily, is dead – killed last night in a hotel
fire.
But it was meant to be me. Now I have 24 hours to find my daughter. Before he finds out I’m still alive.“ |

Imagine the tv show 24 with a female
main character. Imagine the same show but not with a spy who runs
around the world but with a mother trying to protect her child.
Imagine all that and you'll get the gripping story of Claire Seeber,
24 Hours.
Laurie runs for her life. Not just for
hers, but also her daughter's. Someone is after her and she is in
danger. She hides in a hotel, but her best friend dies instead of
her. Her little girl is missing and she has no idea where and why.
She has no idea who is after her but she knows one thing: her little
girl has to be safe!
Twenty-four hours ago everything seemed
fine. Twenty-four hours ago her daughter was safe and sound.
Twenty-four hours ago, she was planning a future. Now, she suspects
everyone, from her ex-husband to her new boyfriend, someone wants her
dead. She is going to die if she needs to, but she'll find out who
and why, and the most important thing, who has her daughter.
Wow, I've never read so fast-paced
story! From one page to another, the story moves from one edge to
totally another, from one turn-over you suddenly end-up into another.
There is no single page that doesn't keep you on the edge, not a
single scene that doesn't make your jaw drop. Adrenaline-paced,
gripping, rushed, describes every mother's worst nightmare: her
child's safety! But there were moments when I was wondering about the
realty around the main character. She seemed so real, but in same
time so paranoid, so frightened. I was asking myself was her fear
real or everything was just an overactive imagination. But as the
story continued, Laurie's accusations became like a ping-pong game:
it's him, not him, no, it's him! It became really exhausting and at
the end, I didn't care. The pace at the ending of the story turned
in the wrong direction (according to me) and ruined the whole
impression (for me). But overall, I enjoyed the adrenaline rush and
tension and will be in search of other Ms.Seeber's books in future.
My opinion: 3,5 / 5.
