Last Seen

Up until last week, Halley thought her mother and sister had died in a car accident when she was six. Coming home to help her dad after a surgery, she discovers that her sister actually murdered her mom and has been missing for the last fifteen years. Since Halley just lost her job and her marriage is falling apart, she decides to put all her energy into finding her sister, Cat. Her search leads her to the mysterious town of Brockville, where her sister was Last Seen. But people are dying all around her, and it looks like she might be next.

I love Ellison’s stories. She manages to write what seems to be up to four different tales, that deep down you know are related, but aren’t quite sure until you get to the end. Each page keeps you in suspense, and you know that you have to go on. I also have a love/hate relationship with her endings. You start to feel like you’re safe because things have been figured out, but there is always something lurking that leaves you wanting more. I highly recommend any of her books, but definitely this one.
