Rachel went to bed curled up in her grammy’s quilt, worrying about her Geometry test and next week’s ballet lesson…and woke up in a ditch, bloodied, bruised, and missing a year of her life.
She doesn’t recognize the person she’s become: She’s popular. She wears nothing but black.
And she can fight.
She’s not the only girl to go missing in the last year, but she is the only one to come back. She desperately wants to unravel what happened to her, to try and recover the rest of the Lost Girls.
But the more she discovers, the more her memories return. And the thrill of what she remembers—of what she can’t resist—might still get her killed.

Once I started Lost Girls, I read two-thirds of it in a single sitting. (And I read the remainder in another single sitting.) I just couldn't turn away from the characters, the gorgeous writing, and dark, insidious mystery at the heart of the novel.

I hardly ever pay full price (in this case $5.99) for a digital book. Maybe that's not fair to authors, but putting money out on entertainment isn't a priority for me.

I don't often read young adult novels, but every once in awhile I read one that convinces me to read more. This is one of them. Dark, fanciful, and engaging. I had such a hard time putting it down. It's a great story about friendship... and fighting. How far down you can fall when you make a few bad ...more
