Alright Tokybook fam – ready your theories, charge your headphones, and prepare to question everything. Here’s your raw, tense, typo-laced audiobook review of The Missing Half by Ashley Flowers and Alex Kiester – a dark, twisty slow-burn mystery that hooks you by the heart and yanks until you’re breathless. 
The Missing Half – Two Broken Sisters. Two Cold Cases. One Haunting Truth You’ll Never See Coming 
OKAY OKAY—
Ashley Flowers does NOT come to play. She came for your trust, your sanity, and your free time.
This book?
It’s giving grief-soaked obsession meets true-crime-core with just enough emotional fragility to make you cry mid-chapter.
Nic Monroe: Stuck. Spiraling. Still Searching.
Nic isn’t thriving.
She’s twenty-four, stuck in her hometown, emotionally flatlined since her sister Kasey vanished without a trace seven years ago.
She’s:
– Isolated
– Haunted
– Self-destructive (hello, DWI)
– And just barely functioning
Her voice? Equal parts resigned and raw. She’s not chasing closure anymore—she’s just existing.
Until Jenna walks in.
Jenna Connor: Sister of the Other Missing Girl
Jenna is sharp. Direct. She’s been living with the same kind of trauma, and now? She’s ready to do something about it.
When she finds Nic and says, “Let’s team up. Let’s finally solve this,”
Nic finally feels hope again.
But with hope? Comes danger.
Together, these two broken women start peeling back the lies, and what they find??
It’s not comfort. It’s rot.
The deeper they dig, the more you realize: something is really, really wrong.
With the town. With the past. With the truth itself.
The Mystery: Carefully Layered. Brutally Real.
This book’s pacing?
Deliberate. Deceptive. DEVASTATING.
Every detail matters.
Every quiet memory could be a clue.
Every moment feels like you’re two steps behind a truth that doesn’t want to be found.
And when it hits?
BRO. 
Your heart will fall out your chest and roll under the bed.
If you think you know what’s going on?
You don’t.
Ashley Flowers lives for the twist you didn’t see coming.
Audiobook Vibes – Cinematic, Intimate, Unsettling
This narration team? 
They capture:
– Nic’s flatline grief
– Jenna’s barely-contained urgency
– The silence between words that says more than dialogue ever could
There’s a true-crime podcast vibe to the structure—clean, focused, unsettling in the best way.
If you loved Crime Junkie, you’ll feel right at home (but also deeply unsettled) here.
Final Verdict – A Cold Case that Burns Slow and Ends Like a Firebomb
