Review: One More Day

One More Day by Kelly Simmons
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Another difficult book to review, and I agree with several other readers that the description of the book is a bit misleading. Why? Because it has some paranormal elements that are never mentioned.

When a child disappears, the parents are usually the first to be suspected. In this book, Ben has been missing for a year. When he returns for one more day, and then goes missing again, his mother, Carrie, is the biggest suspect.

While very well written, the "paranormal" part of the book just didn't grip me. Ben comes back because his mother has been praying for him to return for one more day. She also "sees" her grandmother, her dog, an old boyfriend.
It is difficult to add this up with the police procedure part. Even if there's an explanation, it just doesn't seem right.

Regarding Ben's parents, Carrie is just an enigma to me, and her husband is described as a creepy stalker.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
