Very Creepy but Compelling!

This book is told in alternating viewpoints of 5 sisters and one very creepy unnamed man. The man is watching the sisters and we âhearâ his thoughts about each of them. The 5 sisters; Beauty, Mim, Stevie, Fancy and Autumn are completely unaware of the man watching them.

The author pulls you right into the girl's lives and they each become real to you. That's why the man's stalking of them is increasing disturbing, because we care about these girls. I really wanted to shout at them to Be Careful! several times.

A good quick YA thriller with no blood nor gore.

The Herbert sisters are completely ignorant of the man watching them. They don't realize his growing and dangerous fascination. They are completely oblivious to the fact that their safety is in jeopardy.

It's only a matter of time now.

THE MISSING GIRL is a tremendous read. Thrilling, suspenseful, and riveting, Mazer easily pulls the reader into the intricately woven story, causing shock, horror, and yet compassion as well.

This is a bold story that will rise above and beyond your expectations as the author charms her way into the readers' hearts through her beautiful characters and terrifying plot.

This is one book that is impossible to put down.
