‘I LOVED it… A fast-paced, tense and twisty read.’ 5 stars, NetGalley reviewer

It's one year since her sister vanished. Now, another girl is missing…

One year ago, Amelia Taylor’s sister, Lark, disappeared from a family holiday in the Scottish Highlands.

The police are convinced that Lark was abducted, but with no new leads, the case has gone cold. Amelia is certain the answer lies at the holiday cottage and she returns to the place where her sister went missing.

But during her second night at the cottage a shrill scream cuts through the darkness, just as it did a year ago, and a sense of dread engulfs everyone.

Another girl has vanished.

Leading the search, Amelia is convinced that both girls are alive, waiting to be found. But someone is determined to keep her from the truth at all costs…

Will Amelia be able to find her sister, or is she too about to find herself in danger?

Fans of Ruth Ware’sThe Turn of the Key and Martyn Ford’s Every Missing Thing will love Amanda Brittany!

Reviews for I Lie in Wait

[Erin Lewicki · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Her sister vanished along with her mother’s boyfriend during a family holiday. Her mother passed away soon after from cancer. When Amelia decides to return to Drummondale House with her father and brother on the one year anniversary since her sister and her mother’s boyfriend went missing, she was hoping to find answers. What she got was far more than she ever expected in her wildest dreams.
Thank you Netgalley, Amanda Brittany, and HQ for the opportunity to read and review this spine tingling thriller. I seriously had a hard time putting this one down! This book was very well written with lots of twists and turns, and held my attention throughout. This was a page turner for sure and the ending? I did not see that coming at all! If you are looking for a gripping thriller, I would definitely suggest that you pick this one up! I rate this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?
