None of us can truly know all we would be capable of until we are driven to it.When the man Abbey met on Facebook turns out to be anything but the caring, thoughtful and romantic person she thought him to be, she finds herself trapped in his isolated house on the outskirts of a small town in western Nebraska. Despite her overwhelming despair and the chances of her escaping being somewhere between … somewhere between slim and none, Abbey knows she has to get free… Or die trying.
Back home in London, England, no texts or calls from Abbey has alarm bells ringing for her flat-mate. When Abbey fails to make her return flight, Cristina heads to the states to search for her best friend, but where does she even begin to look for her?
A Person Could Disappear Here is a tale of courage in the face of overwhelming odds, never giving up hope, friendship, secrets and lies.

A Person Could Disappear Here
By: Terri George
5 out of 5 stars
The story A Person Could Disappear Here by Terri George is a book that has mystery and suspense. I was on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. It pulls you in from the very beginning and doesn’t let go until you have read the final page. It tells the tale of Abbey who learns that the man she met online and now has come to see in person is not who she thought he was. She finds herself abducted and held in a house in Nebraska. Far from home, she holds onto the hope of rescue and also looks for ways to escape. Cristina is Abbey’s best friend. She knows that something is wrong when she doesn’t hear from Abbey and can’t contact her. Cristina is stubborn, feisty, and not afraid to say what she thinks. She is also kind and won’t back down when she sets her mind to a task. She goes to the states in search of Abbey. Will Cristina be able to find the clues that will lead her to Abbey? Will Abbey be rescued? Read this book to find out. Following Cristina, while she tries to find Abbey is like trying to put together a puzzle. This is an exciting read that had my emotions going up and down all the time. Cristina and Abbey are best friends and you can feel how much they care about each other. There is emotional and intense dialogue. This is a book that I would recommend reading.
The need to find our perfect partner can lead us to make many mistakes. Abbey is no different to you or I. She wants love. A partner to share her life with. Perhaps the sudden death of her parents when she was 17 has added to her need and naivety of what love really is. Whatever led her to travel thousands of miles from the safety of her friends to meet a man she had only ever talked to online, is hard to say. That said, there’s that part of you that will understand, because you’ve been there, when L.O.V.E is involved.
When Abbey first meets Jensen in Denver, while nerves are kicking in, he appears to be everything, and possibly more than she had hoped. The problem is, the Jensen she sees now is about to change.
Lured in by Jensen, Abbey ends up held captive, beaten, raped and with no escape she has no option but to submit to all of Jensen’s demands.
This is a story of tremendous courage and faith. For Abbey has faith in Cristina, her best friend since the age of 5.
Cristina afraid that something bad has happened to Abbey goes to the USA with her brother looking for her. Cristina is relentless in her determination to find her friend. If you ever want a best friend, you want someone like Cristina.
I’m not going to spoil it for you and tell you the end. I’m going to say read it yourself. It’s not always going to be an easy read, because this is real life and real life comes at a cost. This is the story that will live with you. It will touch you in many many ways. And before you judge Abbey, think back to all the things you have done for love. Love is the most powerful emotion we can feel. It is also one of the most confusing emotions. It can turn a person into someone that they never thought they could be. And sometimes the love of a friend can be your only salvation.
Terri George is a very skilled writer. She makes you want to read on, even when the reading is tough and you begin to understand truly what it’s like to have no control over your body, or circumstance. That to speak out is to be beaten and abused.
Terri George is going to lift you up as Cristina fights for her friend, and she is going to make you feel every single word she has written.
Terri George is remarkable and this story is a must read.
HOLY COW! I was intrigued from the beginning but did not expect it to be so freaking good! A Person Could Disappear Here is a novel written by Terri George. This book is full of suspense and mystery. I loved every minute of it! Abbey is from London and has met a man on Facebook whom she is going to fly to Denver to meet. His name is Jensen. We don’t know much about Jensen except that he is handsome and is super perfect for Abbey. Everything goes well until they go into Nebraska to meet up with Jensen’s grandfather who is getting out of the hospital supposedly. That’s when everything goes wrong. That’s when Cristina, Abbey’s bestfriend steps in and starts her own search party to find her since she did not come back to London. However, that’s when EVERYTHING starts to become twisted and crazy! Like I said before, I did not expect things to turn out the way that they did. I seriously couldn’t put this book down and I in fact wanted to read more. But I was glad the end turned out the way that it did. I can’t wait to read more from this author if they are going to be just like this one!
4 ½ Stars
A Person Could Disappear Here by Terri George is a thrilling suspense- with plenty of mystery, drama, emotion, intrigue, danger, despair, determination, courage, strength, hope, friendship, and surprising developments. This fairly dark read is gritty, raw, disturbing, intense, and brutal in parts. There were scenes that were quite difficult to read- but the compelling nature of the story made me want to know what would happen- and I needed to know how things would play out in the end. This is my first read by Ms. George, so I was very unsure of what I would find once I opened the book. but after finishing this story, I definitely want to explore more of her work now . A lot happens in this complex story- especially emotionally. Things I won’t go into in any detail, because I don’t want to spoil it for you. But I will say that Abbey takes a chance on love- a chance that places her in a very dire situation. We are led through a story which puts a focus on the dangers of social media, on-line relationships, and much more. It is a very thought provoking read that really gave my emotions a work-out.
Everyone needs a friend like Cristina- that there is true friendship!! Abbey made my heart ache for what she endured. The story is told from both their POV’s, so we get to really ‘see’ what’s going on.
It is apparent how much attention to detail, meticulous planning, and research went into this story- all the hard work made for a very gripping and believable story.
I am looking forward to more!
Thank you, Ms. George!

This is a novel loaded with suspense and mystery. This is not a romance, while some would think so.
Abbey has been chatting with someone she met online. After awhile she decides to take a leap and meet him. So she travels abroad to meet Jensen. Jensen is not who she thought him to be. But that is only a small part of what you will find in this story. No Spoilers Here.
Terri George has written one of the most suspenseful stories I have read in awhile. She starts this story right in the beginning. Fast paced and terrifying at the same time. Her female characters are strong and determined. All I can really say…. Is not all things are as they appear. Not all people are as they appear. This novel will not disappoint! Job well done Terri George! I look forward to reading more from this author.
I want to say so much about this story but don’t want to give anything away. I feel that I CANNOT do it justice by trying to be evasive. So this is my review:
A quote: “It’s all about perspective.”
Wow!
Wow!
Wow!
READ THIS BOOK!!!
Another quote: “Who among us can cast the first stone? We are all guilty of some transgression or other.”
Great World Building
Sustained Anticipation
Fantastic Visualization
Mind Blowingly Plotted
Seriously, it’s worth the read.
I did NOT see that coming! A Person Could Disappear Here is the first book I have read by Terri George, and it left me blown away. I will offer a trigger warning, as it is a story of a woman who is kidnapped, and kept locked up and sexually abused. The story alternates views between Abbey, who is the prisoner, and her best friend Cristina, who is on a mission to rescue her. Abbey and Cristina are like sisters, and live together in London. Abbey has an online relationship with a man, Jensen, and decides to fly to Denver to meet him in person. He seems amazing at first, until he takes her to his grandfather’s house in the middle of nowhere in Nebraska. He takes her phone, and her falling off the grid is what raises alarm in Cristina. She decides to travel to the US with her brother, in search of Abbey. The story has a lot of suspense and I didn’t want to put it down. The ending is not what I expected, and I’m not sure how I feel about it. However, I highly recommend it. It was well written and heartfelt. The characters and their relationships are wonderful. Cant wait to discover more by Terri George.
A Person Could Disappear Here by Terri George is a kidnapping thriller I could NOT put down. This book held me from page one and until the final page, I read this in two sittings because I HAD to know what happened. Abbey meets a guy online and after coming to meet him, she finds HE is NOT the fun loving and romantic man she thought he would be. She finds herself kidnapped and being held in a small town in Nebraska. She knows her changed of breaking out are slim, so he holds onto the hope someone will come looking for her. When Abbey doesn’t make her flight back home, her friend and roommate knows that something is wrong and goes to search for her.
Terri George really gave us a raw and emotional read with amazing twists and turns. There were a few parts that I found hard to read but also make this book more powerful. I highly recommend this five star read!!!
I thought this book was pretty creepy. This should be used as a cautionary tale of the world we live in today. The scenes were so vivid that at times I smelled the alcohol wafting in the air and I felt my stomach turning in fear of what would happen next. Though at times the language was different than what I am used to, I had no problem being enthralled by this fast paced thriller that kept me up way into the night. If you want a good thrill, then this is definitely for you.

A Person Could Disappear Here by Terri George is a one of a kind read. This gripping storyline had me sitting on the edge of my seat the whole way through. This storyline had me speechless from the journal entries with hard to read details and the dual POV which added an extra layer of depth and to the shocking ending. The ending completely took me by surprise which made me love this story even more.
This was my first book by this author, but it certainly won’t be my last. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Mouth on the floor. I’m shell shocked right now. Women can be so evil. I’m literally confused over what I read. This story was too good to be true. Like wow. The author has you by the down below through the whole story. You will be on the edge through the whole thing. The ending was ridiculously epic. You don’t see it coming.
A Person Could Disappear Here by Terri George is thankfully a fictional story but could be a true story. You simply don’t think about the consequences no matter how careful you think you are.
Abby thought she was doing everything right after she met this guy online. She flies over to meet him, meet in public, stay in a hotel, etc Things seem to be going well until they weren’t. Who knew a road trip would take such a turn.
Abby was lucky to have her best friend at home to realize something wasn’t right.
It was a well written eye opening story. I met my husband online almost twenty three years ago and looking back I was an idiot, thankfully he wasn’t a psycho.
A person could disappear here is an incredibly captivating mystery thriller that is engaging and you are totally unable to put this read down.
Terri George has created a read that is well written, has an incredible plot and even better characters. I can’t believe that this is the only time I have ever heard of this author, after reading how brilliant this book is Terri George will most defiantly become one of my go-to authors.
This book is one of those books where giving away just a simple part in a review could ruin the whole book, this is a book you want to spend your time letting it sink in, that will leave you on the edge of seat and keep you turning the pages until the very end, and even then its a book that sticks with you a while after you’ve read it. This is an emotional read, that raw and really makes you stop and think.
This is a book that should not be missed! It will have you hooked from the very start right until the very end, not wanting to put it down! Don’t miss this read.
A Person Could Disappear Here by Terri George is a gripping and intense novel. It is the kind of book that will have you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. You will find yourself guessing and then second guessing what might be about to happen and you would still be wrong.
This author is brilliant. They way they have written this boom makes it so realistic. It feels like you are there for the whole journey, right alongside the characters. You can feel how raw the emotions are in each and every page. As the first book that I have read by this author I have to say it was a mind blowing way to be introduced to their work. An absolutely amazing book and one I can’t recommend enough.
A Person Could Disappear Here By Terri George. This book definitely had my head spinning. The author does an incredible job of writing about issues some may have a hard time reading. The attention to even the simplest details can be seen and I applaud the author for going through such lengths to write such an emotional story. It’s told in duel point of views and I always feel that makes for a more rounded storyline. This is my first book by this author but I’ll definitely be looking into more. It’s well written and paced nicely. It’s an emotional roller coaster ride for sure. I’m giving this story a five star review and highly recommend it.
I was very excited to read A Person Could Disappear. It started off great! But as the story progressed I found myself skipping ahead as the characters seemed to go off on tangents. Some of it may have been necessary but it threw the story off for me. I wanted to get the interaction between the characters. It has a good story line and the characters are interesting. It should have a trigger warning and some scenes were hard to read.

Rated 4 stars
I really really liked how this started out. It looked like it was going to be a favorite book. The beginning was all excitement and started my mind moving. Who, what? And Why? But as the story moved forward all of that came crashing down. This is a story that mostly contains narrative and the characters go off on tangents about a multitude of things in the middle of a thought. It completely throws me off the story and I start to skip ahead. I want to get back to the story. I know some of that was needed but i also want to move forward. I am a dialogue person…I need more of that to keep me focused and interested in the story. The way the author made me feel like I was talking to myself or my best friend was done perfectly.
I really liked the prologue. Seriously if you normally skip it…don’t…just read it!
This is a first time author for me. The weaving of the tale was perfectly done. The story drew me in but at time struggled to keep me interested. The characters were difficult to care about. But that ending….not what I thought it would be at all. So the author did an amazing job in that respect. Glad I pushed through.

This was an amazing read! Oh my gosh seriously fantastic! I was hooked from the very beginning until the end – I think what was actually so enthralling about it was how easily this could be a real story. The storyline was so realistic I could almost have been watching a film! I was constantly guessing what was going to happen the whole way through – the author didn’t give away any clues. I honestly was on the edge of my seat whilst reading Abbey’s journal entries, I had so many questions whilst reading, and I loved it!!! Cristina was the epitome of a friend and what true friendship represents; she had a gut feeling about her friend and would do anything for her.
This is definitely a book that needs to be experienced because it is difficult not to give too much away and therefore spoil it! All I can say is that A Person Could Disappear Here was an amazing read and one that I wholeheartedly recommend!!
A Person Could Disappear by Terri George
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
WOW WOW WOW WOW!!! This book is a mind trip! To tell you that I did not see the ending coming is an understatement. Terri George is brilliant for this book, and all of the details in the story! The twists in this book are outrageous and totally had me mouth open and shocked!
My heart aches so much for Abbey and what she is going through. Psychologically she will be ruined forever, physically she will heal but not forget. Her best friend Christina, is brave and an amazing person to travel across the ocean in search of her friend and bring her home, dreading something is terribly wrong.
I can’t say anymore, you will have to take my word that this book is COMPLETELY worth the read. The secondary characters are wonderfully written and contribute to the book and story perfectly. The story is mind blowing and I can’t get over how creative and original it is. I highly recommend!
I was truly unprepared for how much I would love this book. Full of mystery and suspense, the author absolutely hits this out of the park weaving a tale so real and so true that I just knew that it was really happening, that maybe it had already happened to someone I know. I can’t explain it well but I guess I became so invested, so engrossed in the story that I truly was transported into the pages. Traumatic, explosive, suspenseful, nail biting – what a fantastic thrill ride. Loved every single page.
