Search - Last Seen Alive

Excellent book with a lot of twists and turns! It's very suspenseful read with excellent secondary character development.

Chyna Greer was sixteen when her best friend, Zoey, disappeared. Though very different in looks and temperament, the two girls shared a bond that was stronger than blood. But even Chyna’s urgent warnings couldn’t prevent a love-struck Zoey from sneaking out to the lake to meet her secret crush—and being swallowed up into the warm summer night forever….

Now Chyna has come back to her West Virginia hometown of Black Willow to lay her mother to rest. But memories of Zoey are everywhere…and then, out of nowhere, Chyna hears a voice—Zoey’s voice—begging for her help. As Chyna delves into Black Willow’s past, she learns that two other teenagers also went missing. Soon Chyna’s search for answers becomes a desperate race to uncover a chilling secret that strikes at the heart of everything she holds dear—and reveal the remorseless evil that has been hiding in plain sight….

This is the first book I have read by this author but it will NOT be my last....kept me guessing from front to back cover. This was one I couldn't put down.

This is the first book I've ever read by Carlene Thompson and it won't be my last! I loved this book. Wonderful mystery with a little bit of the supernatural at play. It really kept me guessing. Just when I thought I had it figured out the author would turn the story to make me suspect someone else. I absolutely LOVE books that keep me guessing. If you're looking for a good mystery to curl up with on a cold winter night I highly reccomend this one!

Loved this book! It kept me guessing & second guessing who the killer was. Great read!

One by one they vanished without a trace...and then the real story begins.
Excellent book!

A dozen years have passed since then teen Zoey Simms vanished. When she disappeared, her sixteen years old best friend Chyna Greer feared the worst as this was out of character for Zoey.

With the death of her mother, Chyna left New Mexico to return to her hometown of Black Willow, West Virginia for the funeral and to help her brother Ned handle estate needs. She is shocked as she hears a voice that she knows is that of Zoey, but fails to see anyone and besides she assumed her friend was murdered all those years ago. Soon after her arrival, a girl disappears. Some of the townsfolk suspect Chyna as the culprit since nothing occurred when she was away. Only her former crush, Scott Kendrick, thinks otherwise and wants to help her, but he rejects her insistence that she has visions that she believes are the only hope to save the latest victim.

LAST SEEN ALIVE is an exciting romantic suspense thriller that grips readers when Chyna hears the voice of Zoey after twelve years of wondering. Chyna is a terrific star as she struggles with all that is happening to her and to her town. Although a final twist seems a bit over the top, sub-genre fans, who already know that Carlene Thompson is a top gun, will enjoy her latest taut tale.
