Summary
Ashlee Parker is dead, and Emily Shepherd's dad is accused of the crime. A former soldier suffering from PTSD, he emerges from the woods carrying the girl's broken body. "Gone," he says, then retreats into silence.
What really happened that wild night? Emily knows in her bones that her father is innocent -- isn't he? Before he's convicted, she's got to find out the truth. Does Damon Hilary, Ashlee's charismatic boyfriend, have the answers? Or is he only playing games with her -- the kinds of games that can kill?
Review
First of all, let me say that I loved Lucy Christopher's book Stolen so I was really excited to read this. And when the people at Scholastic accepted my request to receive it I couldn't wait to dive into the story.
Honestly, I was kind of disappointed. I felt like the characters weren't fleshed out enough and therefore I didn't really care about what had happened to them. And the "mystery" of the whole story was just way too predictable. Even though I didn't love this book, I would still recommend it because maybe it's just not for me.
