these books make me roll my eyes a lot but they are so addicting 😂

I’M MAD AT THE ENDING!!!piper and theo deserved a happy ending together like being in love but NOPEEVAN IS GRRRR I HAVE NO WORDS

Once I started this book I couldn't put it down! Once again this author does not disappoint. She really makes you wonder how you would respond to a situation and how much could you handle before giving up.

Honestly, this was such a disappointing read. I've read and own multiple books from this author so I went into this hoping to really enjoy it. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I was surprised by how much I was put off while reading this book. The concept sounded really interesting and I was excited to read about the torture rooms and how they worked and how people experienced them. The pure intrigue of this aspect is what kept me reading and is the only reason why I finished this book at al...

The book would have been a four star, if not five star read.But the ending ruined it. The writing was good, the story line was interesting and well written, but when it came down to it, the ending of this book was so unsatisfying it hurt me.The only other book I've read by Natasha Preston is You Will Be Mine, and from that books' ending, I knew I could count on this one being similar.I still want to read her other books, although I'm pretty certain those endings will disappoint me as well.

WOW.WOW.WOW.That's really all I need to say, but I'll tell you more because I WANT everyone to read this book.I really don't understand why this book has so many bad ratings, because it was a fantastic book if you are a lover of psychotic, thriller books like myself. This book is about a group of teens who have recently been missing for the last 18 months (not all at once) - They have been said to be runaways, which is why no one has really looked into the problem. Two of the main characters hav...

What kind of ending was that? Like seriously? Is there going to be another book? I would have gotten 5 stars but the ending is way to open.

I rated this book four stars because at first it didn’t quite grab my attention and I was about to stop reading but I wanted to give it another chance so I kept reading and it did get interesting and I liked that it wasn’t very predictable. This being said I hated the end. It ends in a cliffhanger and I wish she would have kept the story going or ended the book where Piper gets home to her parents instead of Evan taking her.

"Life is a game; you just have to make sure you're in control." Rating: 2/5 starstw: murder, violence, tortureYou know when you watch a movie and it's just not good but for some reason you just can't look away? Well this is exactly that type of situation. I'm not going to sit here and lie  by saying this took me forever to get through...because it definitely did not. I literally flew through this and finished it in a day, however, just because it was an easy read doesn't mean it was the most

2.5/5“Welcome to the game.”In the past I’ve enjoyed Natasha Preston’s books for some easy, YA-thriller entertainment, and I needed this type of read during the beginning of Quarantine. The Lost hit the mark in this sense. It was Saw-lite ridiculousness. The Lost had good horror moments and the torture rooms were clever and sadistic, without gore. I could definitely see this as a popular teen horror film (PG-13).But, as with some horror movies, the characters are secondary to the violence they...

I loved the ending so much! It left the readers wanting more but it still satifies the reader's expecations in the ending.

SO MANY INCONSISTENCIES. Exhibit A: The protagonist does not know how old she is, and neither does the author. Pg. 2:"Lucie Bean, sixteen years old. Same age as us again."Okay, so she's 16. Cool.Pg. 10: "I'm not quite eighteen yet." And by not quite, I mean my eighteenth birthday is ten months away.Chewing on his lip, he watches me for a second [...] "I'm twenty-one."Four years isn't that much of an age gap. Okay, who am I kidding, and why am I even thinking about this?Did this book just contrad...

My head hurts from reading this. It's so bad you don't even want to use it as bonfire fuel because you might hurt the fire. I'm just saying...wow. I really did not like this at all and I don't know why anyone else did enjoy it. This is my honest review.Somewhat of the plot might have been okay if the characters weren't complete idiots in everything they did and if there was an explanation for why those boys did what they did. I still have no idea why aside from maybe they were just bored and psy...

"If there was a rating less than one, I would have given it. I picked this book up as it sounded interesting. A dark adventure. It was basically a book about kidnapping, torturing and killing teenagers, done by other teenagers. I found it to be, well, just sick. Who writes this stuff and passes it off as YA? Is the world not dark enough, sick enough, hopeless enough for young people that they need to be drawn into this kind of crap. If you are an adult looking for a book for a YA, pick something...

I think The Lost just wasn't my type of read. It's well written and engaging, but I couldn't connect with this story. It's a good story full of twists and turns, but it's not for me. The right sort of reader will enjoy this one. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

Ahh, this book was so much better than the other one that I read recently. It was such a classy and intriguing thriller that had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. This book reminded me a lot of Natasha Preston’s other book The Celler, since it followed a girl who was trapped by physco(s). I kind of assumed the bad people from the beginning (probably because the summary of the book kind of spoils it). However, that didn’t make the book any less addicting. The thing I didn’t like about th...

This plot could have worked, but the characters were the downfall.Piper boasts about her obsession with thriller, suspense, and mystery movies and TV shows. She wants to work in the criminal justice field after college. Her and her best friend Hazel decide to solve the mystery of the missing teens in their town with their zero sleuthing and common sense skills. In the process, Piper gains the attention of the hottest guy in town, Caleb, who is a college boy (or maybe graduate?) when he looks at

I actually read this along with my youngest who honestly is not a reader. But, they loved this and for that alone, I have to rate it well. This might not have been my favorite book or even one I loved but they did, so much so that they have already picked up a second book by this author and as a mom and lover of books, that is a pretty amazing thing to see from a child that we have always struggled with making, yes making, them read a book for school and they willing picked up a second book all

I wish I could give zero stars.Holy good goddamn this book is horrible. The writing is extremely amateur, and the story makes no sense. Please don’t ever read this book if you actually enjoy books.

Ugh
