She's Gone

A new page-turning thriller from USA Today bestselling author David Bell.

When a girl disappears, who do you suspect?

When 17-year-old Hunter Gifford wakes in the hospital on the night of homecoming, he's shocked to learn he and his girlfriend, Chloe Summers, have been in a terrible car accident. Hunter has no memory of the crash, and his shock turns to horror when he is told Chloe's blood has been found in the car--but she has disappeared.

Back at school, his fellow students taunt him, and his former best friend starts making a true-crime documentary about the case--one that points the finger directly at Hunter. And just when things can't get any worse, Chloe's mother stands in front of the entire town at a candlelight vigil and accuses Hunter of murder.

Under mounting pressure from the police, Hunter takes matters into his own hands by questioning anyone who might know the truth and posting videos to prove his innocence. When Hunter learns he and Chloe were seen arguing loudly outside the dance, he faces a sickening possibility. Was he angry enough to kill the person he loved?

This was a very thought-out and well-plotted mystery. Every time I thought I knew the answer the story took a turn, it kept me guessing until the very end. Hunter was a fantastically written protagonist and everything he did to find out the truth of what happened was believable for a desperate teenager. I was rooting for Hunter the entire story. This was a fast but well-paced mystery and keep me engaged throughout the entire story.

Wow, what an awesome read! It was a quick read as it took me barely anytime to finish. I enjoyed every page and it kept me on the edge of my seat to guess what would happen next and how the ending would all tie together. I liked how Hunter went through so much to try and figure out what had happened to Chloe and that he got all of his answers in the end. It was really sad that his close childhood friend who knew the answers all along had to die as well. This is a YA must read and has overall great suspense to keep someone interested.
