Featured Reviews

Kady Miller and Lauren DeSanto have been friend all through high school and their original songs have been a viral hit on YouTube. Now, with Lauren recovering from an illness that has damaged her vocal chords, Kady has been performing solo. Some people say Lauren is jealous, some people say she tried to steal Kady’s boyfriend, Mason and some people say Lauren is to blame when Kady disappears. AS Lauren is tried and convicted in the court of public opinion, it soon becomes clear that she never really knew Kady at all, and that if she’s going to clear her name, she will have to find Kady, dead or alive, herself. Told from the perspectives of Kady, Lauren, Mason and Lauren’s childhood friend, Nathan, readers will have to sort through plenty of red herrings to figure out who’s really guilty. Delicious fun

I really liked this one - it had twists and turns without being outlandish, and the characters felt three dimensional. The issue of internet stardom is fascinating to me and Kadence's chasing of it was realistically portrayed, as was Lauren's reactions to being left behind. A fun thriller for teens or above for sure.

Grade: B

When internet sensation Cadence Mulligan goes missing her former singing partner and best friend Lauren DeSanto becomes a prime suspect. Also on the sheriff's radar, Jude, Lauren's former best friend and the target of bullying by Cady and Mason, Cadence's boyfriend who happens to have kissed Lauren the day before her disappearance. When Lauren and Jude team up to investigate what happened, Lauren learns who her "friend" really is...or was.

GIRL LAST SEEN unfolds from Mason's, Lauren's and Jude's points of view, as well as transcripts from YouTube videos from Cadence. Filled with twists and turns I scrolled through my kindle in one sitting, eager to see which, if any, of my theories panned out. I guessed one part of the mystery 1/3 through the story, although I was never quite sure and the final disposition shocked me, though made perfect sense.

Because I was never quite sure of the reliability of the narrators, I wasn't sure who I could trust, what was an accurate description of another character, who were victim(s), who were perp(s). Jude and Lauren were the most complex characters, Mason the most likable.

Heather Anastasiu and Anne Greenwood Brown held my interest from beginning to end. LAST GIRL SEEN will appear to teens interested in books about friendship, frenemies, mysteries, pop stars, music, YouTube and reality shows.

I received a complimentary copy from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

oh my oh my oh my! Wow, I literally just finished Girl Last Seen and I am blown...

If you like a book with intense characters, liars, deception, twists, turns and a serious mystery? Then this book is definitely for you! I love a good thriller which plays with my head and Girl Last Seen certainly did that. In fact, what I loved most about this book is I never did guess what would happen in the end. I was surprised, in fact I think that's an understatement.

You will question every character in this book, it is almost like a game of Cluedo. There is deceit every where and I loved how it got me all twisted inside, I just didn't know who to trust, who was being honest and who was lying!

The book is told from several points of view. This makes it a great story as you are learning different aspects as you go along. You have Lauren, Kadence's best friend. Kadence's boyfriend Mason and an old friend of Lauren's Jude.

I think the only thing I can say with this book is trust no one, for everything will be revealed in the end! 4.5 stars, this is a must read!

Want a book you can't put down? This one's for you.

From the beginning I was drawn by the atmosphere of who and why, and I kept making assumptions until the end. The writing is gorgeous, the story is wonderfully executed, I was doubting everything and everyone.

I loved every bit.

Oh the twists and turns... A boy from the past, a best frenemy, and a disappearance that rocked the little town where Lauren and Kadence became internet superstars. Though I kind of saw the ending coming, I wanted to hang in there so bad and see the ending as it happened and even then, I was wowed by this author's style. There are 21000000 reasons to read this book and every single one of them is Uh-Mazing!

Lauren and Kadence have been BFFs since 7th grade when Kady moved to town. Through 7 years and a million secrets later, they have made it viral on the internet with careers stretching before them like they could never have imagined. Then, the unthinkable happens and Lauren is sidelined leaving the spotlight shining solely on Kadence. Enter Jude Williams, the boy Lauren ditched so many years ago for her new bestie. And boy, oh boy, is he ever mad. Mad enough to steal one of the girls? Murder her even? Something sinister that way comes and Kadence is suddenly missing and everyone she knew and loved (or pretended to love) is suspect, but most especially the girl she left behind as she sought stardom and the boy she obliterated to secure a friendship.

All I can say is WOW. The ending is climactic and the beginning and every word in between is riveting. I read this in about 3 hours non-stop as the children fought, fussed and made a war-zone reenactment in my living room. This author duo hit the mark and is definitely on my watchlist!

“Just heard Kadence Mulligan is missing??? One guess who’s behind it. Payback’s a bitch, Lauren.”

This was an interesting YA contemporary story, with a bit of a twist at the end.

I liked Lauren and I thought that the way her best friend treated her was awful. As if it wasn’t bad enough that she couldn’t sing any more, she didn’t really need her best friend to constantly complain about it as if ishe was doing it on purpose just to annoy her!

The storyline in this was mainly about the mystery over what had happened to Kady, and who had caused her to disappear. There were a number of possible villains, and we were kept guessing for a long time as to who had a hand in Kady’s disappearance, and whether she was alive or dead.
We got a little bit of romance, which was quite sweet, but this was a little overshadowed by the possibility that Lauren’s crush could have killed Kady!

The ending to this was pretty good, and although I guessed the twists, I still enjoyed it.
7 out of 10

Page-turner filled with lots of twists and turns. An absolute thrill to read!

Was this review helpful?

A girl goes missing. No one has heard from her for days. The list of suspects is short. Until you start learning about Kadence. Then the list of suspects grows and grows. You even want to add yourself to the list because you know if you were one of the people that she wronged, you would have killed her yourself.

About three quarters of the way through the book, your wanting to give an award to whoever did it. This girl was just bad, I mean evil. Before the end, you figure it out. However, the ending, definitely throws you for a loop.

This is being promoted as a YA book, but as an adult, I very much enjoyed it. There a lot of plot twists and little things that happen that you don't really see as anything until the very end. Because you can't see all the little strings being pulled, it's not really one that keeps you up all night. However, the explanations at the end will definitely send shivers down your spine. And these are teenagers!!! That's the scariest part of all.

I highly recommend this book. I am still creeped out by some of these characters and what they did and I finished the book hours ago. This one will haunt you a long, long time.

Huge thanks to AW Teen for approving my request and to Net Galley for providing me with a free e-galley in exchange for an honest review. Write this one down - GIRL LAST SEEN!!!

Loved, loved this. I saw a friend raving about this so I had to try it out myself. Isn't that how it usually works?

Lauren and Kadence are (were) best friends who performed together and were becoming YouTube stars before Lauren got sick and that whole thing with Mason, Kady's boyfriend. So, when Kady disappears at the beginning of the story everyone almost immediately accuses Lauren.

It's a little sad the way that everyone writes her off as being a boyfriend stealing murderer, especially since the majority of the book is written from her POV and you know she had nothing to do with it. Enter Jude, the other main POV who was Lauren's BFF before Kady came along and ruined it all. You learn from Jude's side of the story that, after Kady came into the picture, Lauren changed. Their friendship changed and eventually the girls teased Jude (or Nathan, as he was back then) so much that he left their school.

Nathan returned with a plan, and some of his POV is pretty dark. Of course, once he and Lauren are speaking again things calm down a little. I loved the dynamic between the two of them. I feel like Lauren had some trust issues because of her rocky relationship with Kadence, but she and Jude seem to click nicely. They way he steps in to help her out shows that he's forgiven her and cares about her...more than Kady does.

The mystery part of the story definitely kept me guessing. To me, it had a very Liars, Inc. feel to it, especially when it came down to the end of it. I couldn't wait to read more and more, just so I could know what would happen. The big reveal isn't too much of a shocker, especially after you learn more about Kadence. The ending, though? That blew me away.

The only real qualm I had was being in Jude's head, but that's just a teenage boy, I guess. Other than that, this was a great read. Definitely check it out.

'Dark and Twisty Teen Thriller'

Eighteen-year-old Lauren DeSanto was loving the attention. She and her best friend, Kadence (Kady), were putting their songs on YouTube and they were going viral. Then, there was a lapse to the recordings. Lauren had succumbed to a throat infection and after several weeks, her beautiful voice had still not returned. Instead, it was now more of a croaking sound. Eventually, in order to keep their fans happy, Kady began singing solo. Lauren even talked her manager into allowing Kady to sing before their Cuppa Cuppa (coffee shop) crowd. But, by the time Kady took the stage, she and Lauren were no longer on good terms. Lauren put on a good front for the crowd, but Jude was watching her. He could tell she wasn’t happy. He used to know her well … back when they were friends.

When Kady goes missing, there is no shortage of suspects, but Lauren is a primary one because of a recent boyfriend double cross issue. All of a sudden Jude comes back into Lauren’s life. He was Nathan back when they were friends. Now he’s using his middle name, Jude. Nathan had severe acne. Lauren stood by him … until Kady ruined their friendship, even causing Lauren to harshly snub him. Jude, with the help of medicine, has overcome his acne and recovered from the physical scars. Lauren now finds him to be ‘exciting’. Can Jude help Lauren to clear the suspicion on her? She must solve the mystery of Kady’s disappearance.

This is a wonderfully twisty teen thriller (age range 14 – 18). The reader will wonder who is trustworthy; who is not? I liked the various narration shifts giving us different character perspectives. It allows us to see what each character was really thinking. Even teens can pretend to like someone. The author has constructed characters that are both likable and abhorrent. They are, by no means, cut and dry. However, a portion of the novel does require the reader to suspend believability.

I thought this was an excellent whodunit novel. The cover of the novel did nothing for me but the synopsis pulled me in and I enjoyed that there wasn’t a parade of characters but just a few who lined the pages. The history of two of the main characters played an important role as Kady and Lauren were bullies who preyed on the weak as teens and now in high school. It is these weak individuals who just might be the suspects who targeted Kady. Hearing Lauren’s side of the story, Kady was the initiator and Lauren, followed in her footsteps. The girls began their own musical duo years ago which is now a musical sensation. Kady loved to be out in the public’s eye doing all the public speaking whereas Lauren was the quiet one, working on their song lyrics. They were on top of the world until Lauren got sick and now she can no longer sing.

As if this is not enough tension and misfortune for these two girls, there is also an incident with Mason, Kady’s boyfriend that has put a strain on the girl’s relationship. Kady has continued singing without Lauren, the two have exchanged words about this situation and Lauren’s still has deep feeling about this issue. Jude, a previous friend of Lauren’s has now moved back into town and his presence has me questioning his intentions. The book takes a drastic turn when one of the girl’s turns up missing. Kady’s sudden disappearance has everyone pointing their fingers at the individuals who are closest to her, while I tried to keep myself a neutral party. Kady’s loud and flamboyant personality had me wondering if perhaps a fan wanted something more from Kady than she was willing to give. Everyone claims that they were innocent, for of course they are, but I figured it out before the author reveals the guilty party. I liked how the author led you down a path and the path veered, making your wonder if you chose the right direction. The ending was terrific, it was impressive. Everything lined up perfectly, almost too perfectly, that I actually cheered at the end for it was a perfect performance for someone who walked in those shoes.

Thank you NetGalley and Albert Whitman & Company for sending me a copy of this novel in exchange for my honest opinion.

The multiple POVs really helped this and made it more intriguing. The writing flowed super well and the pacing was excellent -- never got dull or anything. I wasn't too into most of the characters, but they definitely were not the most irritating ones I've read lately (in terms of writing, not personality). So I'm pretty neutral on the characters themselves, but really liked the plot and twists! I thought I saw the end coming, but then definitely did not.

Was this review helpful?

Loved reading this book! I loved the different character POV's, the story of Lauren, Jude, Mason and Kady. They were really different and awesome characters with secrets, from before the book started, and when the book ended. So great!

For me, part of this book became a commentary on the justice system and the media, and how people can be blamed with just bare proof, and without consequences to the accusers. And for Lauren and Jude, who we are pretty sure throughout the book are innocent, but they were attacked pretty viciously by strangers on the internet...yeah. Not a fun situation!

I am really glad that Kady is a made up person. Because if she was real, the world would be just all the more messed up. What she did, what she pretended, what she lied about, how she treated people, that was just horrible!

And that ending! Oh, wow, that was creepy and pretty amazing! I kinda read it before I was halfway done the book, so I knew what was going to happen, but still, reading it in the proper order, that was enough to give me some chills!

Really fantastic book from authors that I've really enjoyed their separate works, and now this collaboration!

A nice young adult mystery, not as frequent as romance. Kadence starts a career as a singer and her best friend Lauren watches and approves. while her vocal chords are paralyzed. Lauren does not know if she will be able to sing again.
Kadence suddenly disappears and a lot of people believe Lauren is involved in it.
The book was too young adult specific for me. The drama is built on not much and I could not get to like the characters.

A missing teen mean girl, a confused best friend teaming up with a boy she should stay away from to find the truth. Sounds mighty familiar doesn’t it (Take the Fall). Girl Last Seen though is a sharper version with a nice modern take. Kadence and Lauren are best friends and rising YouTube stars. Their music videos have found a fanbase and everything seems to be going their way. Then Lauren suffers a severe medical setback and Kadence sets off on her own. Then Kadence disappears after a show and Lauren was the last person to see her. Can she find out the truth while all eyes are looking at her?

Heather Anastasiu and Anne Greenwood Brown crafted an interesting tale in Girl Last Seen. The writing was crisp and there was a nice solid voice, which is sometimes lost when there are co-authors. The plot was different enough with the addition of social media and striving for internet fame. I liked the plot and found the world created very current and real. There was a nice emotional vein running throughout which helped temper my dislike of some of the characters. No one person jumped out as a sympathetic person to latch on to. Even Lauren, who should have been the tie, was at times too weak for me.

Girl Last Seen was an interesting read. There was nice tension and character interplay, but I would not classify it as a thriller, more of a mystery. I also did not like the second twist end. It would have been complete to me with the first twist and a small epilogue. I sometimes think that with the popularity of books like Gone Girl, every author feels like they need to make the end super surprising and twisty, which may not be bad, but is sometimes too much. But even with that, I still enjoyed the read.

This was a great read! Very energetic and each page kept me interested!

Was this review helpful?

Let's jump right into this! I've read books by both of these authors, but obviously not written together. It was the same deal; I liked them but I didn't love them. Same goes for Girl Last Seen.

I am slightly on the fence, but one leg is over onto the "liked" side. lol

Here's what I enjoyed about the book! ONE: I enjoyed that the authors truly brought this into the contemporary. Lauren and Kady are a YouTube sensation (with Kady being in the spotlight of course) and that fits so much into the now! I think they wrote it extremely well. When Kady and Laurens YouTuve views plateau, Kady is upset by this. She thinks she needs to do something new to make the views go up again, so she does. Lauren, on the other hand, is out of commission. She has throat damage after a particularly bad bout of food poisoning-slash-throat infection. Sounds legit, right? I definitely dig the idea and I think the authors pulled it off very well and very realistically!

TWO: The romance. I actually loved the romance between Lauren and Jude. Jude is someone Lauren was friends with back when she was a child, but he ended up being the ugly kid and Kady pushed into the picture and sort of kicked Jude out of it. So, Jude left town for some time, etc. Came back. Now he's smokin' hot and has a bad-boy attitude to match. Love that. Love the realness of it all. Side note: bullying is another issue these ladies took on. They really laid it all out; raw. Yet another thing they did perfectly! Moving on... the romance. Yes! YES. When Lauren and Jude reunite as friends, things become heated pretty quickly and it is fantastically done. Sexy, but not too much so. Sweet, but not tooth-achey. Jude isn't the perfect guy either, and this is also something I adore. He's flawed; deeply so. He has this plan for revenge and Lauren was/is not exempt from it, but things get blurred and things shift, etc. It's just amazing.

THREE: The mystery. This is a very big aspect of this book. Kady plays a show at the coffee shop where Lauren works and goes missing right after this. Lauren becomes a suspect and so does Jude. The clues are laid out extremely well, and this mystery will definitely throw you for a loop! I think the authors did a really nice job of telling the story from multiple POVs so that we could see these clues in different lights. I think what looks suspicious to one person may look different to someone else. These authors really thought it out well, and that shows.

This brings me to my dislikes, which mainly lie in the end of the book.

It is impossible not to put spoilers here. I have to in order to tell you why I only gave the book 3.5 instead of 4 or even 5. SO ... SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!

Read at your own risk!

Okay, so the end of the book. Total cop-out. First of all, Kady isn't really dead or missing at all. She staged the entire thing because she is completely freaking insane. This part is fine; I actually enjoyed it. I think the authors really painted this girl in a crazy light and it looked real. Love it. BUT, it's what comes after Kady is discovered that I don't like... Her boyfriend, Mason, is one POV of this book. He's completely devoted to Kady; like puppy-dog devoted. It's gross. lol Anyway, he is there when Kady is discovered. Things go down, blah blah. Then Kady and Mason are alone. Kady talks mad crap and makes Mason feel like complete shit; their relationship was a game and didn't mean anything to her. So, Mason makes a snap decision to kill her. Yes, kill. Not only is THIS a cop-out, but the way he does it is also a cop-out and sort of cheesy and lame. I won't spoil that little tid-bit (even though I spoiled other things, but hey... I did warn you).

END SPOILERS

So, all in all, this book was really great! The ending wasn't my bag, but up to that point, it was great! The mystery is really spot-on and keeps you guessing. The romance is sweet and sexy, but not to the point that you want to vomit. The book is very in-tune with present day situations and such. I enjoyed the multiple POV storytelling as it gives the reader a change to see things from all angles. The characters are very well built and very much multi-dimension. I definitely recommend this book for those who enjoy a good YA mystery/thriller with a bit of romance and a twisty plot!

This book was a bit of a slow builder for me though I'm thoroughly glad I stuck with it. Told from four different pov's and not always in a completely linear fashion it tells the tale of a girl on the brink of stardom who suddenly disappears. We get to see how this effects the people who loved and loathed her as their lives go into a tailspin. The author style is incredibly effective and although I thought I had predicted the outcome I still found myself second guessing who the,characters really were. A good book which is much of a mystery as it is a study of human nature.

Was this review helpful?

This book had so many twists and turns! It was so good, and most of the time I didn’t see where things were heading, which I always love. I can’t stand when books are predictable, and this book did a really great job of making me think that it was going somewhere, and it would hint that one person would be guilty of something, and then bam! things would switch directions.

Kadence Mulligan is not the girl that everyone believes her to be. She puts on a show for the whole world to see, and only her best friend Lauren knows what Kadence is really capable of. So when Kadence disappears, Lauren isn’t really that bothered—and maybe even thinks Kadence is just pulling a stunt to gain attention, while everyone else in their small town is going crazy trying to find her. But then evidence comes to light that makes it look like Kadence might have been killed. And everyone starts to take a closer look at Lauren.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the mystery of some of the characters. It was intriguing to try and decipher what everyone’s motives were and who was really to blame for everything.

Kadence and Lauren are best friends. Well were. The two were a Youtube sensation singing and playing their guitars. That is until Lauren can't use her voice or play guitar anymore. From there Kadence goes solo in her career. When Kadence goes missing, Lauren quickly becomes a suspect officially and in the court of popular opinion. As this is going, Lauren's old best friend Jude shows up to be there for her and help her figure out who really did do this Kadence. But does he have something to hide? Do they all?

The book told through a series of different perspectives. We get the story from Lauren and Jude primarily as well as some police interview sessions with Mason, Kadence's boyfriend and video footage of Kadence on her laptop. I really thought the different viewpoints and styles here worked for this story. Even with the different perspectives, I felt it hard to determine who if anyone was being truthful or what they were all holding back. Here is a quick rundown of them all.

Lauren was someone who I could understand. She was awkward, reacted oddly to situations, was comfortable following and being the lesser person in a best friendship. All of this is something I get completely. She was also a little lost after having damage to her voice and not able to sing or play guitar anymore. On top of that, Lauren and Kadence weren't really talking so it just added to her general feeling of not knowing what she should do or where she belonged. After Kadence disappeared and she looked at someone who was involved and ostracized by everyone I totally understood how she took to Jude her old best friend so quickly.

Jude. Jude who was once Nathan. He changed his name after he left the school where Lauren and he attended but came back years later. He was really made fun of in a bad way when he was younger. He clearly had a hard time with and had other issues going on. Jude was a dark dude. He was definitely someone I grew to like and feel for but still was never totally on board because I could never completely trust him.

Mason was just a typical nice guy who loved his girlfriend. So much he didn't really see who she was or the things she did behind his back. His interviews shed a light on some events between Lauren and Kadence's relationship.

Then there was Kadence. Kady. She was so desperate to be a star. After Lauren couldn't use her voice or play guitar, Kady went out on her own to try and make it big. The more we get to know about Kadence through the other characters, the easier it is to not like her. At all. She seemed like a pretty terrible human being. Just really good at covering it up with a sweet and sugary persona. Still, her little videos that were throughout the book painted a very different picture of her and Lauren's relationship and Lauren in general.

All of the viewpoints here worked to confuse, misdirect and lend itself to the unreliable narrator which I think was fairly effective. Even while I was pretty sure I had it figured out what was going on I still enjoyed the journey to get there. This was a quick read, which was something I was n desperate need of. I wouldn't say this was an edge of your seat kind of book but there was enough to keep me interested and guessing. Overall I really enjoyed this one.

Solidly twisty. Anastasiu and Brown do a great job of making various characters appear guilty. I will say, Jude was so guilty in the early chapters that, particularly in light of his medication induced mental illness, I was really hoping he turned out to be innocent. He was too easy to maintain the air of mystery if he turned out to be guilty. The only way the plot would have worked with him as the perp would have been if the focus had been on unpacking his neuroses and Lauren dancing between confidant and potential victim. That could have been cool. By the final quarter I was fairly certain that Kady's boyfriend had her so when we get to those final scenes, while he's not the perp his role in things didn't surprise me. He was painted a little too purely. It was like the book was begging for him to get a little dirty. HIs actions are out of character but not unexpected given the tone of the novel. That's what it comes down to with this book. Tone overrides characterization and even logic at times.
