   THE GIRL IS MINE

​​​

Ava and Ryan Shetland were loving parents to Gracie in every way that mattered. They were there for her first steps, her first words, and her middle-of-the-night wakeups. As years passed with no contact from Gracie’s biological parents, the permanent adoption of their precious foster daughter felt predetermined.

But weeks before the final adoption hearing, Gracie's biological parents reappear out of nowhere. The judge grants them custody. And just like that, Ava and Ryan's little girl is gone.

Devastated and concerned for Gracie’s well-being, Ava and Ryan secretly follow the reunited family on a camping trip to prove the court made a catastrophic mistake. When they return home armed with evidence of the other couple's bad behavior, the news is already breaking: Gracie has vanished. Police say she is lost in the wilderness. Ava knows better.

But when Ava and Ryan's secret surveillance trip comes to light, they suddenly become the prime suspects in Gracie's disappearance. With every hour that passes, the case against them grows stronger, and Gracie’s odds of survival dwindle. But Ava refuses to stop searching.

And as she edges closer to the truth, she only knows one thing for sure. A mother will do anything to protect her child.​​

An absolutely gripping and unputdownable psychological thriller, packed with twist after jaw-dropping twist. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Gillian Flynn and Lucinda Berry.
