Gone has you living that fear right along with all the characters from the first word. Macy Mercer is a victim of circumstance by looking almost identical to the daughter of a madman. She lives in fear every day after she is taken from her family and forced to live the life of another lost girl named Heather. Her abductor, Chester, lives in fear of his actions and the world he is creating for himself and his new daughter. Macy's mother, Alyssa, fears her failure as a mother, while her husband Chad faces his fear of the husband and father he has become.
This novel gives the reader a glimpse into each character's mind, showing how they are dealing with the horrific actions they have all chosen to make. Claflin's words are hypnotic as she weaves the story of tragic fate. The story is broken up into scenes rather than chapters which made for a very fast read. As a YA Thriller, this story kept my adrenaline pumping and my heart aching for the destiny that awaits Macy Mercer.
Gone is part one of the series and I am anxious to find out what twists and turns Claflin has in store for part two, Held.
Thank you to Stacy Claflin for gifting me a copy of Gone in exchange for an honest review.
