This is most definitely a good read you cannot put down. I lost a whole afternoon and evening needing to find out how this book ended! The beginning leads the reader to believe in Hannah, feel sorry for Hannah, and then you gradually move to what is wrong with you?! The story is very well told, leading the reader to the shocking ending and then yet another shocking ending, an ending you cannot believe. Wow!
This book is billed as a chilling, twisty, compulsive thriller. Unfortunately, it missed the mark for me. It is chilling at times, but the twists don’t come until you have read at least three-quarters of the book, and the story is dragged out so far that there is no compulsion to keep reading. The story is good, and there is a twist at the end, but it would have been much better as a novella. I kept turning the pages, but quickly as I skimmed through the story, as I couldn’t take another five or six pages of the main character, Hannah, in her drunken state moaning about her fate.
Hannah and her boyfriend, Matt, live together for four years and one day she comes home to find him gone. Not just gone, but erased. All his things are gone, and her belongings are back in their place, as it was when he moved in. In addition, he is erased from Facebook, Instagram and every other social media. His phone number, call history and e-mails are erased. She begins searching for him in the likely places, but he has quit his job and his mother has moved. Then strange things begin happening. Someone is watching Hannah, entering her home when she is at work, sending message she thinks are from Matt.
It’s a great plotline, and there is a twist at the end. However, the repetition of Hannah’s inability to cope, turning to drink, being hungover, attempting to work, etc. becomes boring. I couldn’t quite work up any sympathy for her either (that sounds so terrible), as Hannah wasn’t a nice person to begin with. While Matt’s disappearance is certainly intriguing, you just know it has something to do with Hannah.
I would have given it 1 star if it weren’t for the ending. Still, I don’t think I’d recommend anyone read it just for that.

The story and the characters kept me involved in what would happen next.
Loved this book. I couldn’t put it down and thought it dealt with an issue, which is not often talked about, well.
This book is well worth the read. I highly recommend.
Nerve wracking that doesn’t end! You will not see what’s coming!
Loved this book. Ever changing and very interesting twist.
When I first picked up this book I started reading and then the next thing I knew I was still reading saying, “are you kidding me” Just when I thought I had one thing narrowed down, bam something else got mixed into the story. Hannah, what is going on? You will say this numerous times during the book including when you think you know the answer. The story is about Hannah on track to be a director at her company who happily goes home to celebrate the good news with her boyfriend. Hannah arrives home to find the boyfriend gone, all his belongings disappeared and wait not a sign of him on her mobile or landline phones, her computers, and what no pictures of him either. What is going on and how this story continues is what will keep you going to the next page to the next page.
