Review: Girl Last Seen by Nina Laurin

Girl Last Seen by Nina Laurin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow,Wow and Wow again,this is a totally riviting twist packed story that I would gladly give far more than five stars if I could and would happily recommend to anyone who enjoys reading a damn good thriller.

Ten years ago Ella Santos escaped from the clutches of the monster who had kidnapped and abused her for three years.She has changed her name to Lainey and has tried really hard to get on with her life but the person who kidnapped her has never been caught and Lainey has always known that one day that person will strike again and now it's looks like he has.

Olivia Shaw has disappeared from outside the entrance to her school,the right look,the right age,the right circumstances and she could be a mirror image of Lainey thirteen years ago.

Lainey just wants to get on with her life but sometimes you can't move on until you confront events from your past.

This gripping thriller is voiced by Lainey who understandably after everything that she has been through is a emotional wreck.She is a drug addict who has a short temper but deep down inside she is just a lost little girl who just wants to be loved.She didn't have a very nice life before she was kidnapped and it didn't get any easier after she escaped,I just hope real kidnap victims are not treated the same way that she was treated throughout the book.The characters are well developed,realistic and totally untrustworthy,the story is fast paced,packed full of twists and you have no idea what has happened to Olivia until the very last chapter.

This is a very well written debut thriller that had me hooked from the gripping prologue right to the very last word and I look forward to reading more books by this author in the future.

Many thanks to Grand central publishing for a arc of this book via Netgalley in exchange for a honest review
