LAST GIRL GHOSTED by Lisa Unger - Review

 


Lisa Unger's thrilling nineteenth - yes 19th - novel, LAST GIRL GHOSTED (ParkRowBooks) will have you thinking twice before you go on line. Wren Greenwood goes on to the dating application Torch, to make her friends happy. She connects with Adam and immediately, she's head over heels. But is Adam really Adam? For that matter, is Wren really Wren? Why does Adam know so much information about Wren's childhood - information that she's worked hard to conceal. Think twice before you swipe.

LAST GIRL GHOSTED taps into ghosting - the latest digital thing people do when they want to be gone from someone. In most cases its harmless, both parties just move on. But in some instances, like the one in Lisa's novel, LAST GIRL GHOSTED it turns deadly. Wren's not sure if she's the predator or the prey.

I really enjoyed this book, as I do all of Lisa's novels. There were so many plots that seamlessly came together at the end. It had me, and will have you on the edge of your seat quickly flipping pages. The characters were compelling and well flushed out. I must say, I was surprised by the ending. I sort of saw it coming, but the reveal was a shocker.  LAST GIRL GHOSTED is dark, disturbing and delicious!

    Great review! I just listened to the First Chapter Fun reading of Last Girl Ghosted and it was wonderfully ominous! My favorite Lisa Unger book, so far, is probably Confessions on the 7:45. khpinelake@gmail.com

THE LIONESS of LEIDEN by Robert Loewen - Review and Q&A

Image
There are no shortages of true accounts and novels based on WWII. The Lioness of Leiden (GreenleafBookGroupPress) is a historical novel written from first-hand memories of author, Robert Loewen's mother-in-law, Hetty, along with her roommate, Mimi and 17-year-old, Maria. These ladies took on roles they never could have imagined during WWII in the Netherlands. They became Dutch resistance fighters fighting the Nazi Gestapo in the Netherlands, taking on more and more dangerous assignments. When the Nazis invade the Netherlands, these three women, at great risk carry documents, secret messages and cash to protect Jews, downed pilots and others in hiding. They're always on edge that they may be turned in to the Nazis by collaborators on the lookout for resistance fighters. Like most WWII novels, The Lioness of Leiden is not an easy read. Knowing that actual people suffered the consequences to fight fascism is difficult to process.  Complicated family relationships, tragedy suffered...
