About this ebook

An intense psychological thriller for readers of I Am Watching You,The Luckiest Girl Alive, and All the Missing Girls.

Two missing girls. Thirteen years apart.

Olivia Shaw has been missing since last Tuesday. She was last seen outside the entrance of her elementary school in Hunts Point wearing a white spring jacket, blue jeans, and pink boots.

I force myself to look at the face in the photo, into her slightly smudged features, and I can't bring myself to move. Olivia Shaw could be my mirror image, rewound to thirteen years ago.

If you have any knowledge of Olivia Shaw's whereabouts or any relevant information, please contact...

I've spent a long time peering into the faces of girls on missing posters, wondering which one replaced me in that basement. But they were never quite the right age, the right look, the right circumstances. Until Olivia Shaw, missing for one week tomorrow.

Whoever stole me was never found. But since I was taken, there hasn't been another girl.

And now there is.

Ratings and reviews

This is not usually " my type" a book. But I came across it during the time when I had nothing else to read. I did not expect to like it. I did. A lot. most of the characters were real. By that I mean no pure motives, everyone has secrets. And while I'm still not even sure I liked the main character, I was still rooting for her. I think that is a testament to the writer's ability and the way she wrote her characters. As for the twist. I knew who it was not long after that character was introduced.

For her first thriller I think it was really really good. Good plot, didn't get too gross but got the picture across. Loved it. Congrats.

Maybe the author's first novel, but written like a pro. A "can't put down until finished" story; dark, gritty and twisty.
