Disappeared. Vanished. When footage of his gruesome murder by a Muslim extremist group is shown across the country and around the globe, she wants the person responsible for the disappearance of the man she loves to pay. She wants him to lose the one person who means the world to him, too, and she won’t stop until he does. Alexander Burnham has everything… Finally.

It’s a race against the clock for Alexander to put the pieces together and find out who has taken his daughter and what they want from him. As information comes to light, he is forced to bury the guilt he feels after losing his fellow team member and focus instead on finding and saving his daughter… Before it’s too late. 4.5 Star Review by Ashley Welcome back Mr. Burnham! I have been waiting for this book since T.K. Leigh hinted about it back in 2014 and I am so glad it's finally here because WOW! Vanished gave me so much more than I was expecting. There was Alex and Olivia and their strong and unique love but there was the other piece of their loves too, Melanie- their daughter. While the threat source was unknown, the urgency to figure it out was behind the devious plan kept me burning through the pages. I have to mention that this book takes place in December, right before the holidays when hopes are high and joy is in abundance. But not for this family. It's a race against the clock to figure out who abducted Melanie. My heart ached for this poor, frightened little girl who just wanted to get home. But it broke for her parents who were at a complete loss as to whodunit and why. It's no secret that Alex has enemies all over the place but this was a bold and well calculated move that next to nobody could pull off. There were almost more twists and turns in the journey to find Melanie than I could keep track of. Every lead a dead end. There was carnage. Suspense. Danger. Secrets. Guilt. Death. But also this sense of "I'm gonna find you and when I do you're gonna wish you never thought about messing with me." While the story focuses mostly on Alexander, it was Olivia who surprised me the most. Her strength despite the fear, her resiliency in the face of danger. Her ability to put others above herself in the worst of situations made me like her more than I already did. I can't get into all the intricacies of the plot without giving too much away. But I will say this- as the mystery unraveled and pieces starting coming together, my jaw was on the floor. While I wouldn't classify Vanished as your typical romance there was an underlying feeling of unconditional love throughout. Love between a husband and wife. Love for your family. Love between parents and their children. T.K. Leigh took a topic that is very relevant in today's world climate and wove it into a story that was as thought provoking as it was thrilling.
