Bring Me Back by B. A. Paris: Review

I had to do it. It was time to get sucked into another suspense-filled story. The psychological thrillers are so popular right now and there are so many authors that are just killing it in this genre, pun intended.

So is with great pleasure that I am able to review this new suspense thriller that has been reprinted and republished on many different formats. Check out my thoughts on

She went missing. He moved on. A whole world of secrets remained—until now.

Finn and Layla are young, in love, and on vacation. They’re driving along the highway when Finn decides to stop at a service station to use the restroom. He hops out of the car, locks the doors behind him, and goes inside. When he returns Layla is gone—never to be seen again. That is the story Finn told to the police. But it is not the whole story.

Ten years later Finn is engaged to Layla’s sister, Ellen. Their shared grief over what happened to Layla drew them close and now they intend to remain together. Still, there’s something about Ellen that Finn has never fully understood. His heart wants to believe that she is the one for him…even though a sixth sense tells him not to trust her.

Then, not long before he and Ellen are to be married, Finn gets a phone call. Someone from his past has seen Layla—hiding in plain sight. There are other odd occurrences: Long-lost items from Layla’s past that keep turning up around Finn and Ellen’s house. Emails from strangers who seem to know too much. Secret messages, clues, warnings. If Layla is alive—and on Finn’s trail—what does she want? And how much does she know?

A tour de force of psychological suspense, Bring Me Back will have you questioning everything and everyone until its stunning climax.

Bring Me Back by B. A. Paris Review

Oh my gosh! I could not put this book down. It took me a little bit to get into it, however, this author just was able to take a story and spin it in multiple directions and get me wound up!

There are multiple areas I thought I knew what was going on and I had my suspicions of what the truth is going to be. While I’m happy to say I was mostly right, that did not make this book any less enjoyable.

This is the first time I’ve read this author and I loved the complexity of the case; the way she was able to keep you on your toes throughout the entire story. One minute you thought one person was crazy and the next minute you thought somebody else was crazy. Heck, maybe they all are crazy, or maybe you are.

Plenty of edge-of-your-seat excitement, secrets, and scattered pieces will keep you turning these pages just as fast as I did… in a rush to find out the final truth. The ending killed me though. Not what I wanted. LOL

With minute details and great character development, B.A. Paris did a fabulous job on the story. I just wish I hadn’t guessed what was going on. That would’ve have made it a perfect read!
