On Halloween night, thirteen-year-old Ruby disappears in the company of a masked figure. She is never seen again. The only witness is Nell Montague who is just seven years old.

Twenty-three years later, Nell is trapped in an abusive relationship and still suffering from vivid nightmares of what she saw. When tragedy strikes she escapes and attempts to put her past behind her. Then, thirteen-year-old Emily disappears.

Haunted by increasingly disturbing visions and helped by a reluctant psychic, Nell must unravel the mystery of what really happened that night, because to save Emily she must first find Ruby. But to do so she will question everything she thought she knew about her own childhood and soon discovers that nightmares don’t always end when you wake up.

My Opinion

Finding Ruby by J A Higgins is a Mystery Thriller and is worth a one time read. The book starts with an interesting plot of hidden secrets. But after a few pages it slows down and I felt that I was lost. I was not able to connect with the story, but still managed to finish it. Also, I felt that the book was way different from what I normally read. Still, I would say that it is worth a one time read. But, this is totally my opinion and you can disagree with me only after reading the book.

I could only give the book 3 stars. Thanks to Rachel's Random Resources for providing me an opportunity to read and review the book.
