About this ebook

The complete Gone Trilogy is a USA Today bestselling title.

One poor decision will haunt her forever. 

Macy Mercer only wants a little independence. Eager to prove herself grown up, she goes to a dark, secluded park. She's supposed to meet the boy of her dreams who she met online. But the cute fifteen year old was a fantasy, his pictures fake. She finds herself face to face with Chester Woodran, a man capable of murder. 

Distraught over his own missing daughter, Chester insists that Macy replace his lost girl. He locks Macy up, withholds food, and roughs her up, demanding that she call him dad. Under duress from his constant threats and mind games, her hold on reality starts to slip. Clinging to her memories is the only way of holding onto her true identity, not believing that she is Chester's daughter. Otherwise she may never see her family again. 

Gone is the first novel in the Gone saga, a trilogy of psychological suspense thrillers. If you enjoy page turning suspense with constant twists and turns, then you'll love this nail-biting read.

    This should be required reading for all teenagers! This story is about the kidnapping of a teenage girl, Macy, by someone she met on the Internet posing as a teenage boy. What made this particular story so engaging for me was the dual storylines. Being able to see into the events of both the kidnapping and the family looking for their missing child added depth to the story while helping me connect with the victim. I am anxious to get my hands on the next book ASAP!

    Good thing this was only 200 pages because I would have stopped reading if it was more. This is probably one of the worst "suspense" books ive ever read. Besides the real fear of meeting someone via internet and it could be anyone, this book is ridiculous.First of all, not enough back story to the daughter and the wife... it's like they just appear here and there via memory, makes the book incomplete and just odd. Then the story just ends.... with Macys family and with Chester... just "the end". I understand it's a series, but at least give me more information regarding the story, it's just a man who takes a girl and forces her to become his daughter and her family is searching for her. I don't know, didn't make me want to read anymore of this series.
