“She’s Gone” by David Bell

 

At this point, I feel like I’m starting to be a little biased when it comes to my reviews of David Bell’s books- but he literally NEVER misses. And this book was no exception!

Initially, I was a little stuck on the verbiage and sentence structure of the novel- but had to remind myself that the story is being told by Hunter, a teenage boy, and that’s typically how your average teenager talks.

The book was extremely suspenseful- and a lot of things happened that I absolutely did not expect. It definitely gave a play-by-play of a “True Crime” story, and I was invested from start to finish.

My only “hiccup” was the ending; not how it ended (that was INTENSE,) but more so the detail. Without giving the end of the novel away, I just wanted to know EVERYTHING that happened, with a little more explanation in how, and the immediate happenings afterword. But as I stated, the ending itself was great. As with all of his novels. 

Can’t wait to see what the next book will be!
