Missing, a novel

Fans of Jennifer Donnelly will flock to the new romantic thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong. The only thing Winter Crane likes about Reeve's End is that soon she'll leave it. Like her best friend did. Like her sister did. Like most of the teens born in town have done. There's nothing for them there but abandoned mines and empty futures. They're better off taking a chance elsewhere. The only thing Winter will miss is the woods. Her only refuge. At least it was. Until the day she found Lennon left for dead, bleeding in a tree. But now Lennon is gone too. And he has Winter questioning what she once thought was true. What if nobody left at all? What if they're all missing? "Like Stephen King, who manages an under-the-covers, flashlight-in-face kind of storytelling without sounding ridiculous, Armstrong not only writes interesting page-turners, she has also achieved that unlikely goal, what all writers strive for: a genre of her own."?

The only thing I'll miss is the Kentucky wilderness that has always been my refuge. But that changed the day I found Lennon. Left for dead, bleeding in a tree. Now Lennon is gone again. And he has me convinced that the one thing I thought I knew for sure is a lie. My best friend didn't just leave. My sister didn't just leave. Neither did Lennon.
