A page-turning mystery in which the witness to an abduction realizes as she tries to find the missing child that the current case might be intimately connected to the disappearance of her childhood friend many years before. Island of Lost Girls is a quick read that still benefits from complex characters and charming, if also disturbing, connections to childhood tales. The gradual unfolding of both mysteries is well-done, and the balance between the two different time periods manages to keep the reader interested in both. Very enjoyable. ( )

I liked this book, but there were lots of characters and I kept getting mixed up as far as who was related to who. Halfway through the book I wished I had made a list to keep all the characters organized. I also didn't really seem to "care" a lot about any one character, but overall the book was interesting and I enjoyed the twists and turns it took. It was definitely a mystery/suspense type fiction book. It wasn't amazing, but was a fun, quick read. ( )

I liked the book . Iwas shocked at the course of events and how it ended but overall it was a good read.

Rhonda was a witness in a child abduction in front of a convenience store by someone wearing a rabbit suit. She felt so bad about not doing anything while it happened that she decides to help with the case. It brings back memories of her best friend Lizzie who disappeared years early and closer to the truth as why Lizzie disappeared. ( )

This was definitely a compelling read that captivated my attention and then refused to let it go until the end. From the very beginning, the author leads you in a direction and everything seems to fit together until you read the end and it's not what you expected but fits perfectly nevertheless. I loved how the narrator was finding answers that helped her understand both her present and past. I loved the use of the name "Peter" in the book-- Peter Pan, Peter Rabbit. Although it's a thriller and mystery for the most part, I loved the childhood symbolisms. Peter Pan is one of my favourite classics. The idea of never growing up and staying a child has always been a concept that captivated me. The placement of this story seemed really fitting for a missing child, in a way, the child has stopped growing when he or she disappears. Anyways, this was truly a good read and I recommend it to all. ( )

Very impressed by this author! ( )
