About this deal

When she finds incriminating evidence that may bring them closer to the truth, Abby soon discovers how little she knows about her coworkers, neighbors, and even those closest to her. The perfect summer thriller . . . with a pace that made my heart race.” —Riley Sager, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Time I Lied Many different forms of “reality” appear in The Last to Vanish . Characters divulge rumors, talk about myths, and share practical (as well as comforting) explanations for the vanishings of past visitors. What does the novel suggest about truth and its relationship to myth? There were a lot of rumors about us here, as a collective about the things we knew, the secrets we kept. But they ignored the obvious." Don't miss this one!! I'm still reeling in it. Great job, Megan Miranda! You are still one of favorites!

The author attempted to write a tension-filled atmospheric tale, but I found myself irritated and bored, despite the appealing setting. The characters were not fully developed enough to make me care what happened to them.Kennedy Jones, 16, and Nolan Chandler, 17, have suffered tragic losses. Two years ago, Nolan’s brother Liam disappeared without a trace from a family picnic at the Freedom Battleground State Park, Continue reading » stars: Love unexpected plot twists?

Cutter’s Pass is best known for its outdoor offerings—rafting and hiking, with access to the Appalachian trail by way of a gorgeous waterfall—and its mysterious history. As the book begins, the string of unsolved disappearances that has haunted the town is once again thrust into the spotlight when journalist Landon West, who was staying at the inn to investigate the story of the vanishing trail, then disappears himself.

I get that Miranda was trying to set the atmosphere but the descriptions of the town, the inn, the hiking trails went on and on and on. It didn't create atmosphere for me but it did get really monotonous to the point that my eyes were glazing over. Then we have all the characters, from the people that live in the town to the random guests staying at the inn, and I didn't care one iota about any of them. Most of this novel we spend inside Abbie's head with all her thoughts and imaginings. Honestly, I hated Abbie. She was such a drag of a main character. I read straight through to the 50% mark then skim read the rest because I was desperate to be done with this. The ending really sealed the deal though. Miranda and I are officially parting ways. 2 stars!A new guest arrives on a stormy night. He's got a connection to Landon. In fact, he's Landon's brother Trey. Abby feels unsettled with him there giving off vibes that darken the reputation of the inn. But soon she realizes that Trey may be on to something. And that something may be putting herself in danger. The beautiful setting in a small mountain town famous for its proximity to the Appalachian Trail was brought to life so wonderfully that I felt that I was taking a scenic vacation. An unsettling one, but I was transported all the same.

The writing, as usual, was very good. There was a Stephen King-like tension throughout, with a few hair raising scares thrown in for good measure. Abigail Lovett has lived in Cutter’s Pass for the last ten years. It’s a close-knit community, but Abby finally feels like she belongs, except when she doesn’t. A painfully slow read (audio) that just felt too long with too little action. I needed so much more from the characters, the storyline, just more in general! What did you think of this one? And if you’ve read other Megan Miranda books, how do you think it compares? Those are the last words written by Landon West, a famous reporter, disguising his identity to write a special article about missing persons and joined them by being labeled as number seven: last missing person!Oh boy, does she ever know how to write a twisty-turny ending (or two, or more).” —Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review It’s become home over the past 10 years, and she feels protective of it-even if the town still treats her as an outsider much of the time… So the gist is that a bunch of people over the years have disappeared without a trace from the idyllic mountain community of Cutters Pass, NC. Abbie, who runs the local Inn, sets out to find the truth when the brother of the latest guy to disappear shows up in town.
