A happy life. A wonderful job. Great co-workers, who include new friends and her brother. Ashlynn Amuso seems to have it all. Her and her direct co-workers bust their ass at work for ten months and then get an amazing two months off. Her brother, Glen, and her friends, Roman and Kaden, have formed a very tightknit group. Travelling together they each get to pick a vacation spot when those two months roll around. This particular year, they head out to Ashlynn's family cabin in Lake Minnetaha, Washington. How do I know all of this? It is written in her diary, which is the style used by Lisa Hodorovych in her intriguing book, "The Disappearance."
Without giving away too much of the book, the reader comes to eventually realize that there is something important missing from her wonderful life. However, things at the cabin have to get real chaotic before she realizes this herself. People end up going missing. And there is a secret in this town that she didn't know about while growing up here. Even more bizarre, someone or something is watching her. And there may be more than one.
Okay, I gave up enough already but Hodorovych's book is a love story happening within a tale of horror. I would get upset every time I would have to put the book down. It's a fun read that gets a little mushy sometimes during her description of her relationship with a male character, but it is a written journal after all! I had bought her second book also at an I Heart Horror event and now I can't wait to break that one open!
