Still Missing by Chevy Stevens


Still Missing is Stevens first novel and she does a spectacular job. I have never become so emotionally drawn or involved with a character before.

Stevens writing puts you into Annie life, makes you feel the anguish, fear and emptiness that is inside her. That is her life.

This novel is mentally captivating. The abduction that takes place is so realistic that you fear for your own safety.

This is one story you won't be able to unravel and when the plot thickens and the truth is revealed you are surprised, shocked and left heartbroken.

Annie is an unforgettable characters and this book is impossible to put down and will leave you haunted.

Grade: A+



Synopsis [B&n}

On the day she was abducted, Annie O’Sullivan, a thirty-two-year-old Realtor, had three goals: sell a house, forget about a recent argument with her mother, and be on time for dinner with her ever-patient boyfriend. The open house is slow, but when her last visitor pulls up in a van as she’s about to leave, Annie thinks it just might be her lucky day after all.
Interwoven with the story of the year Annie spent captive in a remote mountain cabin — which unfolds through sessions with her psychiatrist — is a second narrative recounting the nightmare that follows her escape: her struggle to piece her shattered life back together, the ongoing police investigation into the identity of her captor, and the disturbing sense that things are far from over.
The truth doesn’t always set you free.
Still Missing is a shocking, visceral, brutal, and beautifully crafted debut novel about surviving the unsurvivable — and living to bear witness.
