FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Partners In Crime Virtual Book Tours in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.
Hide In Place by Emilya Naymark was an exciting book. This moved at the perfect pace for me. I love it when the author can include the right amount of details, so you don’t get bogged down in too many unnecessary details. I spent most of the book want more details on what happened to Laney before the book started. You get those details, but they don’t come all at once, so you have to keep reading to get all of the details. I was able to figure out what was going on pretty quickly, but that isn’t anything out of the ordinary for me. This is the first book I have read by this author, and I enjoyed her writing enough that I am going to read more books by her in the future. Laneys, son Alfie, got on my nerves, but most teenagers in books usually do. I get annoyed with them because they always make the worst choices, which makes the characters so relatable. This book didn’t have hardly any suspense, which was kind of a letdown for me. This book would be perfect for someone who doesn’t like books that have a ton of suspense in them.

She left the NYPD in the firestorm of a high-profile case gone horribly wrong. Three years later, the ghosts of her past roar back to terrifying life.
When NYPD undercover cop Laney Bird’s cover is blown in a racketeering case against the Russian mob, she flees the city with her troubled son, Alfie. Now, three years later, she’s found the perfect haven in Sylvan, a charming town in upstate New York. But then the unthinkable happens: her boy vanishes.
Local law enforcement dismisses the thirteen-year-old as a runaway, but Laney knows better. Alfie would never abandon his special routines and the sanctuary of their home. Could he have been kidnapped–or worse? As a February snowstorm rips through the region, Laney is forced to launch her own investigation, using every trick she learned in her years undercover.
As she digs deeper into the disappearance, Laney learns that Alfie and a friend had been meeting with an older man who himself vanished, but not before leaving a corpse in his garage. With dawning horror, Laney discovers that the man was a confidential informant from a high-profile case she had handled in the past. Although he had never known her real identity, he knows it now. Which means several other enemies do, too. Time is running out, and as Laney’s search for her son grows more desperate, everything depends on how good a detective she really is–badge or no.
