The moment Brady told his family he was engaged, his fiancée was nowhere to be found.



    “A masterfully written story delving into difficult, gritty topics that affect the close knit, very supportive O’Connell family.” Rebmay - Reviewer

    A disappearing fiance. A decision to explore her troubled past. Will his investigation lead down a dark tunnel that includes murder?



    Six months ago, Brady’s true love, Cassie Arnold, walked into his hometown and his life. Everything was perfect, including their plans for their upcoming wedding—but one night, when he came home, Cassie was gone.

    How could she just vanish?

    Brady turns to his sheriff brother, Marcus O’Connell, and is stunned by what he discovers. Not only is there no trace of her, but it’s as if she never existed.

    As they dig deeper into the days before Cassie vanished, Brady is stunned to learn of a series of mysterious phone calls, and he realizes his bride-to-be and her seemingly perfect smile were hiding dark secrets, including an unsolved murder at her family’s cabin in a hometown he’s never heard of.

    Brady soon suspects that to find Cassie, he may also have to figure out what really happened the night of the murder—and why Cassie kept it all a secret.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Mystery & Intrigue
    Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2020
    The O’Connells seem to attract mystery and intrigue to their family. But with their strong family ties and belief in rightful justice, they (hopefully) will always prevail. Brady’s on the cusp of adulthood and believes he has met the right girl for him. Just when he’s ready to begin his forever after, she disappears and when he sets out to discover what secrets surround her leaving, he also learns what it truly means to have his brothers by his side and his family at his back.

    This is another exciting and mysterious tale in the O’Connell Clan saga, touching on the inequities in our law enforcement system which often beleaguer the defenseless. Fortunately, the O’Connells have a strong sense of justice and family and are always willing to support their own in this fast-paced story. It will hold your interest and keep you captivated from start to finish. Each book in this series is its own roller coaster ride of emotions, challenges, and strong family values, which will keep you turning pages late into the night, but I can guarantee that any loss of sleep is well worth it!

    5.0 out of 5 stars a missing girl with dark family secrets
    Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2020
    Brady is still struggling with the well- meant, but nosy ways of his new family which extend to his love life. These come in handy though, when his gf suddenly disappears and he realizes that he knows nothing about her. As it turns out, he isn't the only one with dark family secrets.
    Lorhainne gives us another dose of the workings of this less than perfect, yet strong and engaging family that always has each other's backs. These tight- knit bonds are augmented by Brady's feelings of being an outsider and their attempts to pull him into the fold are heartwarming.. I enjoyed the wonderfully realistic insight into the mindset of a 19 y/o, torn between an intense family life he never had and his desire to be his own man, the latter culminating in a hasty marriage proposal to a girl he knows nothing about.With the disappearance of Cassie, this homey thread turns into a suspenseful investigation and the secrets that come to light are harrowing. As always, well developed, smoothly flowing, suspenseful storytelling, which was a joy to read.
    I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars ?🔍Another Great O'Connell Mystery🔍?
    Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2020
    This book had a wonderful flow to it with lots of questions starting with the first chapter. This is Brady's story, the youngest of the O'Connell siblings. Brady has been seeing Cassie for about six months and is completely infatuated with her. While celebrating his nineteenth birthday with family, he realizes that he knows very little about Cassie. He is unable to answer most of his family's questions in regards to Cassie. Although troubled by his lack of knowledge in regards to Cassie he does not hesitate to propose marriage and Cassie accepts. The day after the proposal, Cassie is nowhere to be found. With no leads and no answers, Brady must turn to his family for help. With twists and turns and a great plot, this story is an excellent mystery. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading the next in the series. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

    Mystery and suspense from start to finish had me glued to my seat. What an introduction to an author this book turned out to be. If you like the blurb then trust me, you are going to love the book! The author has done a wonderful job making this book seamlessly flow through drama and intrigue that took through a barrage of emotions. A must read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The O'Connells band together again
    Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2020
    It seems that each book in the series is better than the last. As Brady is new to the O’Connell clan, he is still finding his place in the family. With family circumstances rather unusual, this is quite an undertaking for him. He has found Cassie, whom he believes is the love of his life. As soon as he proposes and she accepts, he finds that she has left town without a word. Not knowing where to turn, he goes to his family. They immediately band together to solve the mystery of Cassie’s disappearance and confirm to Brady what being a part of this family means.

    Another great book in the O'Connell series. In book 12, Brady has fallen in love with Cassie Arnold and kept it a secret from his family. When Cassie disappears without a trace, he turns to his brother Marcus, the sheriff, for help. They discover lots of secrets and mysteries surrounding Cassie. I would recommend this book.

    Reviewed in Canada on November 1, 2020

    I got this book based on Amazon recommendation - and I am getting to the end of a great author's back books, so ... The blurb sounded like I would like it & plots I like to unravel ... but stopped 1/2 way into the first chapter.
    There were so many seemingly prominent characters interacting, but little context or ... Well, thoroughly lost. I have gone thru books 1-3 (available in box set), so now have at least a foundation to make sense of who I am dealing with. Will give it another go. BTW, I have read many series w this degree of 'character & plot mingling' & 'dropped' in part way through; they did a much better job at seamlessly dropping in the relevant info briefly, or do warn that it is a not a good book to start with - without reintroducing things as the whole 1st chapter.
