Imagine that someone you work with vanishes without a trace, and then you find out that the person who took her really was targeting you instead!
That's what happens to high school student Gabie, who works part time at a pizza place. Another girl who works there, Kayla, asked if Gabie would switch shifts with her, and so Kayla was working on the night that John Robertson orders three Meat Monsters using a fictitious name, address and phone number. Kayla never comes back from delivering the pizzas, so now Gabie and Drew, another pizza place employee, are doing their best to figure out who took Kayla. The story is told from multiple perspectives, including Gabie, Drew, Kayla and John's viewpoints. You know who is narrating the story because they get their own chapter, and the chapter heading contains their name.
Good thriller without being too disturbing.

    I believe there is no such thing as a non-reader; just people who haven't discovered what they want to read.

    Just didn't enjoy it as much as Shadow and Bone. I just felt like the author was really trying a bit too hard to draw this story out. I was able to put it down several times and I couldn't put Shadow and Bone down so there's the differen...

    The Grisha triology is a fantasy series that I really enjoyed. I reread the last book because I thought I wasn't remembering something. I'm a bit confused because I've started King of Scars and Nikolai isn't as I remembered. Don't want...

    I’m not usually someone who enjoys a story that is predominantly about the attraction between two people BUT I did like this one. The setting is one year after 9/11 and 16 year old Shirin, an American born Muslim whose family moves freq...

    I love a good mystery, and although I correctly guessed the murderer in the first chapter, I still thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns.
