SHE'S GONE by David Bell

 

It starts with a Homecoming dance, a car accident, and a missing girl. SHE'S GONE is a fast-paced mystery that will have readers holding their breaths and gasping frequently. This is David Bell's YA debut. I can't wait to see what he brings to readers next.

Hunter is hoping to remember his last high school homecoming with his girlfriend Chloe as one of the best nights of his young life. Instead, Hunter can't remember much at all. After leaving the dance, Hunter and Chloe are in an accident. Hunter wakes up in the hospital with a concussion that keeps him from recalling the events that led up to the accident and the time following the crash. All he knows is what people tell him. He evidently staggered into the hospital alone, and Chloe seems to have disappeared from the passenger seat.

Even though Hunter doesn't recall a thing about what happened, he becomes the main suspect. Questioned by the police, shunned by many of his classmates, and taunted by Chloe's mother at a candlelight vigil, Hunter is at a loss about how to prove his innocence. He loves Chloe and wants nothing more than to have her found safe and sound.

Full of twists and turns, SHE'S GONE will not disappoint readers looking for a thriller that reads like a movie with relatable characters and page-turning action.
