Come here. Come closer.

Halley James knows her marriage is over. But she’s not prepared for the rest of her life to fall apart too.

No one can hear you. No one can help you.

She just lost her job at the forensics lab. Her dad needs emergency surgery. But the biggest blow comes back home in Marchburg, Virginia, where she discovers her mother didn’t actually die in a car crash. Her mom was murdered—and her father lied about it all these years.

I have nothing to hide from you. Are you hiding something from me?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Original, deftly scripted, clever, compelling, Last Seen by J.T. Ellison is a riveting psychological thriller of read from start to finish. Simply stated, author J.T. Ellison is a master of the genre.”—Midwest Book Review

“My favorite kind of thriller—dark family secrets, high-stakes mystery, and a shocked daughter who will stop at nothing to determine the truth. Wherever J.T. Ellison goes, I want to follow.”—Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Still See You Everywhere

“In Last Seen, J.T. Ellison weaves a gripping tale of family secrets, broken trust, and the slippery nature of memory. When Halley James learns her mother was murdered—not killed in an accident—her search for the truth leads to a deceptively perfect town hiding dark secrets. With twists that keep you guessing, this masterfully crafted thriller showcases Ellison at the top of her game.”—Liv Constantine, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish

Amazing

Loved it was really good! Kept me guessing and I got through it within two days

Good but meandering

I think this is an interesting premise but it moves needlessly slow, and not in a character building way. Also, The author was hand holding us to make one assumption that I know would be undone. Once it was, I was like, okay finally we can get to the story. Characters were thin.

omg

very well written! and the twist is insane , I was annoyed at the main character a few times at her stupid choices but it came together in the end

Awesome

So good!! Many twists and turns!! Story line is so good and I Love the readers!!

Wild ride

I honestly did not see the ending coming! This book was a wild ride that I loved every minute of. The audiobook style and different character voices helped the creep factor of the kidnapper and added so much to the story. I highly recommend it.

Last Seen

This psychological thriller book started off good. I was immediately pulled in by the story and couldn’t put it down! Kept me guessing until the end, It’s a really well put together story with plenty of twists, secrets and mystery to keep you turning the pages.

Halley James looses her job, her marriage is over, and she moves back to Marchburg, Virginia to care for her dad after he had an emergency surgery. Halley finds out her mother didn’t die in a car accident like her dad made her believe when she was little but was murdered by her sister. Halley goes chasing for answers where her sister was last seen in Brockville, Tennessee, because she wants to find out why and what happened to her sister because she doesn’t remember them or what actually happened. The more she keeps searching the more she uncovers secrets, disappearances, and a twisted reality. Highly recommend this thriller 

The main characters’ internal dialogue was intriguing.

I liked how the author used internal dialogue to reveal the main characters mindset, and helped to move the plot and action forward.

Wow

Wow, just wow. JFC… what did I just read? Told primarily from three different points of view from seemingly un-connected narrators. I knew when the stories converged it would be a doozy. I was not disappointed. Although I have to say that the ending felt incomplete to me, not exactly a cliffhanger but just incomplete.

Intense and Dark

I normally don’t write reviews but this one deserves a review. It starts slow but once you’re about chapter 20 it is a nonstop roller coaster that keeps you guessing. It is rather dark but a good read nonetheless

This is a great book!

This started out kind of slow, but soon picked up pace and I was totally hooked. It gets better and better with each chapter.
