Finding the perfect match on a dating website seems too good to be true—until it isn’t. After months of dating the perfect match, he disappears with his apartment and business evacuated and all his social media accounts cleared, along with a private detective dogging his footsteps. This dark and chilling mystery thriller will make you search and question your own steps and decisions through life.

The dangers and intrigue of online dating come to life in Last Girl Ghosted. Wren is looking for more than a hookup when she comes across Adam's profile on the online dating app, Torch. After meeting him, he seems like he may be her perfect match. This story is intriguing and filled with suspense. I like the development of each character throughout this story. At first I had trouble getting into this story because it starts as fist person, present tense and that is not my favorite POV. After reading on though, I feel that writing it like this really added to the tone of this story. I would definitely recommend this book. It was suspenseful, emotional, dark, and at times scary.

Thank you to NetGalley and Park Row Publisher for this digital ARC.

I would highly recommend Lisa Unger’s new book, Last Girl Ghosted.  It is rather dark and heavy at times but a real page turner.  It is the story of Wren who is the author of an advice column titled Dear Birdie.  Her best friend , Jax, talks her into going on a dating site where she meets Adam, whose thinks  may just be the ONE.  All seems to be going well for several months until one evening Adam stands her up.  When she tries to get in touch with him, she discovers that all his social media and phone have been disconnected and the apartment she thinks is his is just a vacation rental .  Enter Bailey Kirk, a private investigator who is looking for a missing girl named Mia who just happens to have been dating the man Wren knows as Adam just before she went missing.  As Wren continues to search for Adam and some answers, she must revisit some childhood trauma and sort through the secrets and baggage that everyone carries.  I really enjoyed Unger’s book Confessions on the 7:45 but I think I enjoyed this one even more.  Definitely a must read.  You will want to check this one out.

After a quick review, I believe our library visitors will likely gravitate toward and enjoy this book. I love the modern premise.

Thank you for the ARC!

I really enjoyed this book and the premise of what would you do if the man you fell in love with one day suddenly ghosted you? The twisted towards the last 3/4 of the book kept me engaged and on the edge of my seat right up until the last page.

Last Girl Ghosted by Lisa Unger is the second book I have read by this author. It is a perfectly orchestrated story about singles and meeting via dating apps. Most people who are single in this day and age, have tried some form of meeting someone electronically. She decided to swipe on Adam, he wasn't the cutest and his picture was grainy but something about him intrigued her. When they met there was instant chemistry. They started dating for a few months, never mind she didn't know much about him or that he hadn't met her best friends or that she had only been to his apartment once. She was falling in love with him. This resonated with me deeply as I had experienced this a time or two myself. She finally decides to share something very personal about her past with him and to her she felt like he understood and she sort of regretted it but at the same time felt good that she told him. The next night they were supposed to meet, he wanted to ask her something. She bought a new dress and waited anxiously for him at a restaurant. He didn't show. He left her a cryptic message and then he was gone, she could not get a hold of him, he deleted all of his social media, she was ghosted. Devastation sets in, she goes through the motions and starts to find out things about him that she realized were very unstable. She discovered that others who dated him were no longer seen again. Despite the fact that she has a career of giving advice to others via self help blog and podcast, she seems to throw out all reason and try to hunt him down herself. The story was thrilling and gripping at times, but other times I wanted to smack Wren. Who in the world would intentionally put themselves in harms way after hearing dark information about someone they've only dated for a few months? Part of Wren's past is finally revealed and explains why she really isn't that sound in mind. I enjoy Lisa Unger's writing style, however, there were a few parts of the story that really did not add to it and were not needed. Points of view from the missing girls, we don't know which one is which, what led them to that point or where they ended up from their point of view. We only find out later from the retelling of other characters in the story. I do like that despite the fact that Wren is a little unstable emotionally she was able to save herself in more ways than one which will hopefully cause her to heal. Overall a thrilling read. thank you NetGalley and Harlequin for the advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.

Last Girl Ghosted really pulled me in... although it may make you rethink online dating, you won't want to put this book down!

A story about emotionally damaged people who draw darkness to themselves.
What happens when you are lonely? You join an online dating site. Then you fall in love with your match only to find out he is hiding his true self and has done horrendous things. You will be lucky to get out of the relationship with your life.
This book definitely made me decide to never try online dating!!! Good story that got a little slow in the middle but picked back up fairly quickly.

A thriller....and thrilling indeed. Wren is an interesting character. Her past is buried but she is still trying to deal with the repercussions. Her best friend encourages her to get active on a dating site. She does and finally meets someone who is absolutely amazing. Falling in love was not the plan but suddenly Wren starts thinking about the future. She shares her past with this amazing man and the next day he's gone. Vanished. Will her past remain buried? Where did he go? Why does it seem as if he never existed?

Just give us the option to award half stars already! This is a solid 4.5.

While I thankfully can't relate to the world of online dating, I was nonetheless quickly engrossed in the story and genuinely found it difficult to put down once Wren, who had fallen for a guy she met through an app, visited his apartment only to have a woman answer as she attempted to buzz into the building. But that women isn't who you might suspect, and it's full-on thriller from that point forward.

The final pages turned a little too syrupy for me especially after the intensity of the book until that point, but overall I loved Last Girl Ghosted and recommended it to those in my reading circle who enjoy this genre.

I appreciate NetGalley providing the ARC.

Can a person outrun their trauma? Does that trauma make a person more vulnerable, or lonely? I don't claim to know the answers to these questions, but Last Girl Ghosted isn't afraid to speculate.
It was interesting seeing the pieces coming together and learning how the murdered women (and their killer!) were tied to Wren. The serial killer wasn't easily found but he did eventually get what was coming to him. I also loved that Wren saved herself and didn't need rescuing, she only needed the help of her friends.
The parts that didn't work for me were the chapters written in the voices of the murdered women. They didn't add any new information and seemed unnecessary. And I must admit to not really liking the ending.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advance copy.

This book was a DNF for me at 41%. I am not sure why by the conversion from Netgalley to my kindle but the spacing was so off and words were cut off and spaced at the wrong times. I was definitely intrigued by this book but honestly could not get over the spacing and having to figure out who was talking/when. I hope to get a physical copy of this book when it is released.

This was an interesting story.. I'm glad that I gave it a try. Will recommend it for purchase.. ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

Last Girl Ghosted unfolds in an expanding way. In the beginning everything felt comfortable and contained but soon the reader is trying to figure out the motivations of characters and how they are connected and what will happen next. Found this an involving suspense novel. Always enjoy this author's books.

I practically devoured Confessions on the 7:45, so I was so excited to get an advanced copy of Lisa Unger’s newest book Last Girl Ghosted. However, I have to say I was not as thrilled with this one as I was with her previous one.
The initial description of the book is what attracted my attention. Wren Greenwood (who is the main character) is convinced by her best friend to go on a dating app. After a few bad dates, she meets Adam and falls hard for him. Everything seems to be going along smoothly until Adam ghosts her leaving behind a confusing note. Wren can’t just let him go and starts searching the internet trying to find him. Turns out that this is not the first time Adam has ghosted someone. In fact, Adam is not who he appeared to be at all…but neither is Wren.
The first half of this book started out strong and was a real page turner for me. But as the author really started delving into Wren’s background story, it was almost as if the book split into another story altogether. At times I had trouble even connecting the two stories. I felt that the end of the story wrapped up a little too neatly and certain elements of it were not believable. I still think Lisa Unger is a good writer and I will read future books of hers - I just wasn’t a fan of this one.
Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free electronic version of this advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.

Love this author and hits close to home referring to dating and bring ghosted. Happens so much nowadays sadly. Great book that touches on that subject.

Thanks to the author, the publisher and NetGalley for an early release of this book.

Soooooooo good!!! I flew through this - you just can’t put it down. Dating in these times has to be horrible but throw in a psychopath and that makes for an entertaining tale. Lots of delicious twists. Going to put this author on my list of who to watch. Excellent mystery, great characters - no graphic violence - that keeps me away from a lot of current authors.

Last Girl Ghosted is filled with suspense and will have the reader guessing until the very end how this story will conclude. Wren deals with a past trauma that impacts her current life. Lisa Unger definitely did her research for this book. I felt like the story was very realistic and will have you thinking twice about online dating.

I'm just not to sure about this book?! It was an interesting story but I did feel lost in a few parts , this book had suspense, intrigue, and a bit of a who done it! But like I said it was all over the place?! I almost stopped reading a few times lol but I'm glad I finished! It was worth reading but it wasn't my all time favorite! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

I just finished reading "Last Girl Ghosted" by Lisa Unger. I have read this author before and loved her novels. This one did not dissapoint either. I was enthralled by the main character and her many levels of pain. I wanted her to heal and love and be loved, so i experienced every emotion she felt throughout the story.
The story revolves around a young woman who meets someone on-line and is drawn to him in such a way that shows how deeply she wants to be loved. You can feel that she is in pain and has suffered much trauma in her life. Just when she is finally feeling happy, the man disappears...he has ghosted her. Enter a detective who is looking for a missing girl, and that unfolds a greater mystery of who the "ghost" is and why Wren, the main character is still attracted to him.
Lisa Unger has a great ability to create layered characters who are tormented by their past and as a result, make some bad decisions. But her ability to create these characters is what makes the book so hard to put down, because the reader cares about the character and what happens to them.
Around Wren, there are wonderful supporting characters which make the novel even more readable. I honestly had a hard time putting this one down.
I want to that Net Galley for giving me an advance copy of this book to read, and am happy to recommend this book to anyone who enjoys this genre.
Happy Reading everyone!
