 The Vanishing of Class 3B

One spring morning, a bus full of children and their teachers from a Cotswolds primary school head off on a much-anticipated day trip.


But as night falls and the well-heeled parents – one or two of them famous, as well as wealthy – wait at the school to collect their weary offspring, it soon becomes clear that something has gone very wrong.


The children and their teachers simply do not come back.


What’s happened doesn’t seem possible.


How can an entire class of children simply vanish?

Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Jackie Kabler, Harper Collins, NetGalley and Rachel’s Random Resources for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 


O.M.G. Jackie Kabler has me questioning whether to send my niece and nephew on a school field trip! The Vanishing Class of 3B is every parent and teacher’s worst nightmare become reality! You will be wanting to hug your little ones a little tighter after this read! This is a scenario that surely could play out in the headlines! I don’t know where she got her inspiration but dang this was such an addictive read!! This is a book that every parent and teacher will be talking about long after they have finished the book! 


The Vanishing Class of 3B deserves way more than 5 stars in my opinion! The storyline was fresh, It was totally addicting where I was literally glued to my Kindle, my heart strings were pulled hard as my heart ached for the parents, it had so many twists and turns, oh and the secrets that were revealed were unbelievably shocking! I just loved it so much and could not get enough! 


I loved how Jackie pulled out every emotion possible within her characters. You couldn’t help but feel empathetic to the characters in their worry, panic, and anxiety over where their children were. Heck, I would be the same way if not worse! 


What I found interesting were some of the parents were famous in the entertainment industry! Each of them having a very interesting backstory! 


Jackie totally shocked me with the secrets, revelations and jaw dropping climatic ending!! This is one ending I never ever in a million years saw coming! Jackie is good!


The Vanishing Class of 3B is a book that I would love to be turned into a series on Netflix! I would totally be binge watching it if that ever became reality!

From the USA Today bestselling author of The Summer House, with over one million copies of her books sold, comes a heartwarming beach read, perfect for fans of Sheila Roberts, Jill Shalvis, and Debbie Macomber.

After the loss of her fiancé a year ago, event planner 
Lauren Sutton can’t seem to go on with her choice of career or the life she’d built with her fiancé any longer. Floundering emotionally, she makes a snap decision to sell her half of the business and spend the summer among the sand dunes and changing tides of the Outer Banks, taking care of an old inn in Rodanthe, North Carolina with its elderly owner Mary Everett.

Perhaps the salty breezes of the Atlantic and the warmth of summer sun on her face will help her find her direction. What she doesn’t expect to find is a story hidden away in a string of sea glass that will change her life forever.

And complicating things is local fisherman 
Brody Harrison. All she’d wanted was to sink her toes in the sand and let the coastal breeze calm her aching heart. But Brody shakes up her plan in ways she’d never imagined.

An uplifting summer escape that will strengthen your family bonds and have you believing in the incredible power of love. If you enjoyed the TV movies based on Jenny’s books and are looking for more feel-good, small-town romance, look no further!

Jenny Hale is a USA Today and international bestselling author of romantic contemporary fiction. Her books have sold over a million copies worldwide, have been translated into multiple languages, and adapted for television. Her novels Coming Home for Christmas and Movie Guide Epiphany Award winner Christmas Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses are Hallmark Channel original movies. She was included in Oprah Magazine’s “19 Dreamy Summer Romances to Whisk You Away” and both Southern Living’s “30 Christmas Novels to Start Reading Now” as well as “Beach Reads Perfect for Summer” in 2020 as well as 2023. Her stories are chock-full of feel-good romance and overflowing with warm settings, great friends, and family. Jenny is at work on her next novel, delighted to be bringing even more heartwarming stories to her readers. When she isn’t writing or heading up her romantic fiction imprint Harpeth Road, she can be found running around her hometown of Nashville with her husband, two boys, and their labradoodle, taking pictures—her favorite pastime.

When I graduated college, one of my friends said, "Look out for this one; she's going to be an author one day." Despite being an avid reader and a natural storyteller, it wasn't until that very moment that the idea of writing novels occurred to me.

Sometimes our friends can see the things that we can't.

While I didn't start straight away, that comment sowed a seed and several years, two children, and hundreds of thousands of words later, I completed a novel that I felt was worthy of publication. The result was Coming Home for Christmas, a heart-warming story about friends, family, and the magic of love at Christmas.

The rest is history.

When I'm not writing, I'm publishing through my imprint Harpeth Road Press. I’m also a mother of two boys and a wife to a very supportive husband.

First, I want to thank Jenny Hale and Harpeth Road Press for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.


WOW!! Jenny Hale yet again brings her readers another brilliantly beautifully written story The Magic of Sea Glass! As with all of Jenny’s books this one will put a smile on your face, love in your heart, give you some great insight into life, and yes she even made me tear up a time or two. I think that was the first time that she made me tear up! 


Can we talk about how breathtakingly beautiful The Magic of Sea Glass cover is?! All of Jenny’s covers are beautiful-but-this one spoke to me! The graphic design team nailed this one! 


One thing I love about Jenny’s books is that she picks the most breathtaking sceneries to place her storyline in. Her descriptions and attention to detail make you feel like you are right there with the characters. Many times I wanted to jump into the book and experience what characters were.


Not only does Jenny pick the most picturesque places but she gives her characters incredibly interesting careers! For example Lauren the main character was a wedding planner. Brody’s hobby was a very special one as well. 


The symbolism of the sea glass and how magical it truly is you look at it differently next time you see it. It is a big part of the story that touched my heart! 


The Magic of Sea Glass deals with such topics: rediscovering yourself, coping with life after loss, letting go and moving on, and most of all family. 


I smiled as Lauren’s hometown was NY as is mine! 


This is another touching must read book 5 star read that needs to be added to your growing TBR list.

The Lost Man
A.S. Kelly
(From Connemara With Love, #6)
Publication date: May 3rd 2023
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

I left at dawn on a rainy day.
I left as he slept, believing that he’d still find me in his arms when he woke up. I left, taking everything I’d promised him. I took it all, and neither of us would ever have it again.
I left, turning my back on everything I knew, believing I could never be part of it.
I left the man who loved me, the family who raised me. I left my home, my roots, my dreams. I left my whole life behind in search of a past that was never mine. I hurt everyone who loved me, and broke him into so many pieces that I know I’ll never deserve his forgiveness.
But I’m here, now, trying to rebuild everything I’ve destroyed. I’m trying to find what I thought I’d lost. And although he says that he’ll never be the same, though he says that there’s nothing left of him, I can’t abandon him again. I can’t say goodbye to us.
They say that you always find your way back to happiness, but I’ve found my way back to the only place I’ve ever felt at home.
I’ve found my way back to him.

Goodreads / Amazon

EXCERPT:

“What are you watching?”

Noel turns his head slowly. I’m glad I thought to bring a set of keys out with me – he wouldn’t have heard me knocking, didn’t even hear me come into the room.

“You’re back.”

I walk over to him and sit beside him. “Of course I came back. Did you think I wouldn’t?”

He shakes his head a little, his eyes roaming back to the TV.

“Have you eaten?”

“I can’t remember… I think so…”

I force myself to smile, stroking his beard.

“Do you want me to make you something?”

“You don’t need to do that.”

“How about tea and biscuits? I’m going to make some for myself.”

He looks at me and flashes me a weak smile, which feels a little like hope; like the sun peeking through thick cloud.

“There are still some shortbread biscuits in the tin on the counter. I made them this morning.”

“You sure know how to make a woman happy,” I say, pressing my lips lightly against his before heading through to the kitchen to make us both some tea.

When I come back into the living room, I place the tray of tea and biscuits down on the coffee table and sink onto the sofa beside Noel. I drape the blanket over us both and squeeze him, my hand on his arm and my head on his shoulder.

You can’t abandon someone you love just because they’re not the same person you met a long time ago.

You can’t abandon someone you love just because they can’t find the way back home.

You can’t abandon someone you love just because they no longer love themselves.

“You have no idea how glad I am that you’re here,” he whispers, his voice uncertain, emotion caught up in his words, his breath.

“I’m home, Noel. With you.”

He lifts his arm and wraps it around me; I snuggle against his body and inhale his familiar scent. It reminds me that, in spite of everything, he’s still here, with me.
