Missing: A Perfect Vacation. A Perfect Nightmare. Kindle Edition

by Christy Cooper-Burnett (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.7 out of 5 stars 51 ratings

“You'll think twice about booking your next getaway after reading this tale of a perfect vacation gone horribly wrong.” –Regina Buttner, author of The Revenge Paradox

Megan Hamilton is boring. At least that's what her fiancé tells her right before he dumps her for another woman.

Still healing from the break-up, introverted Megan reluctantly agrees to join her mother on a luxurious cruise to Mexico to rebuild her shattered world.

Meeting the charming Nate Talbert and embarking on a whirlwind ship romance convinces Megan that her luck is finally changing. However, appearances can be deceiving, and the handsome stranger is hiding a terrible secret. Megan quickly discovers the truth is far more disturbing than she ever imagined when she's trapped in a terrifying world from which she might never break free.

What was supposed to be her perfect vacation is about to become her worst nightmare.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not the Love Boat
    Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2024
    This book kept me on the edge of my seat. Megan and her mother, Michelle, are two incredibly tough women.

    They go on a cruise together, along with Rochelle (mom’s friend), and things go unbelievably wrong. The story is told from Megan and Michelle’s viewpoint which added a lot of depth to the story. We got to see what they were both going through.

    The characters were interesting, even the ones I didn’t like. I did guess that someone had a part in what happened before it was revealed.

    Even though this is a work of fiction, it reinforced my decision to never go on a cruise.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Easy quick read
    Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2025
    This is a quick, popcorn read: fast-paced, dramatic, and engaging, like a good Lifetime movie. The writing is straightforward and easy to follow, making it a perfect choice for a relaxing afternoon. The author writes a great twist that added a layer of intrigue and tension that elevated the story, and I also think it was written well into the story and didn’t feel forced nor too OTT.

    While the characters and plot aren’t especially deep, they’re compelling enough to keep you hooked.

    4.0 out of 5 stars May make you rethink that upcoming vacation
    Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2024
    I really enjoyed this one! Definitely hooked me pretty quickly. I will say I figured out where it was going early on, but not to the extent it went. Not to give any spoilers, but it goes to show you may never truly know someone. Also love the strong female figures created in this - the good and the bad.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Light hearted romance gone bad
    Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2024
    The prologue starts with her abduction and then jumps back. The story here is a light hearted romance gone bad. Megan is dumped by her finance and her Mom persuades her to go on a cruise with her and her friend, sharing a cabin with her Mom.

    Once they are on the cruise, things get interesting and you see a new side of Megan. I like that she (and her mother) never gave up. There are some major surprises but a happy ending.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great story of survival!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2024
    The cruise was supposed to be a relaxing getaway from the recent stresses in her life, but turned into a nightmare for Megan when she was kidnapped by sex traffickers on the ship. Her mother is forced to organize the search and rescue on her own when an indifferent crew refuses to help find Megan. The story alternates between the viewpoints of the mother and daughter, highlighting the desperation each faces as time is running out. Mother and daughter are forced to break all the rules in order to survive in this fast paced thriller filled with themes of betrayal and redemption. If you’re looking to escape from the real world for a few hours, grab a copy of this novel.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I am usually not drawn to this genre – but I love being surprised.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2024
    This book had everything – great characters, outstanding plot and a twist I hadn’t seen coming which kept me hanging on until the end. Without the prologue, I might not have been enthusiastic to finish the story. I didn’t particularly like Brian and his fiancé! But once the story took off, I couldn’t put it down.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Cruise Line Trafficking
    Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2024
    Missing is a very quick read about a young woman on a cruise with her mother who gets abducted to be sold into sex trafficking. The narrators alternate between Megan and her mother, which helps provide different perspectives once Megan is abducted.

    Overall, it was entertaining but there were several parts that were too convenient - overheard information, confessions, etc. I think the author could have imparted this info to both the reader and the characters in a less obvious way. Megan is also made to be a very anxious person but she doesn't come across as such for the majority of the book.

    The conclusion is also a bit too pondering. I think the author could tighten it up a bit.

    Missing sheds light on the international issue of sex trafficking, so hopefully it will educate more people. I personally didn't know the statistics for cruise line involvement.
