Publisher Description
No one wants me to tell you about the disappearance of Sloane Sullivan.
Not the lawyers or the cops. Not her friends or family. Not even the boy who loved her more than anyone. And most certainly not the United States Marshals Service. You know, the people who run the witness protection program or, as it’s officially called, the Witness Security Program? Yeah, the WITSEC folks definitely don’t want me talking to you.
But I don’t care. I have to tell someone.
If I don’t, you’ll never know how completely wrong things can go. How a single decision can change everything. How, when it really comes down to it, you can’t trust anyone. Not even yourself. You have to understand, so it won’t happen to you next. Because you never know when the person sitting next to you isn’t who they claim to be…and because there are worse things than disappearing.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Cribb's intricately plotted debut thriller, high-school senior Sloane Sullivan (her 19th identity) has been in the Witness Protection Program for almost 6 years, after witnessing a violent crime. Her minder, Agent Markham, whom she calls Mark, has taken care of her through both her mother's murder and her father's eventual suicide. She's ready to get out of the program and move on with her life. Staying anonymous, however, seems like a tall order after she runs into her childhood best friend, Jason Thomas. Sloane just wants to be normal, but her past is catching up with her, placing everyone she cares about in harm's way. Cribbs draws an effective portrait of a young woman forced to make unusual and mature choices while navigating the more conventional stresses of teen life, and Sloane is a smart, savvy narrator. The tension increases exponentially in the second half, when events force Sloane to put the disparate pieces of her past together, resulting in stunning revelations. Just when it seems that a resolution is in sight, more surprises build to an explosive, satisfying finale. Ages 12 18.
Customer Reviews
The Disappearance of Sloane Sullivan
I have read this book Once or twice On paper not online but I have to say it’s so detailed and the way Gia Cribbs did the flash backs from time to time put ALOT of emotion into the story. I would definitely recommend this book to anybody Even if you don’t like mystery (Me) It’s still amazing!!! It gave me an Emotional roller coaster and this felt so real I honesty was longing to meet this Sloane girl although I can’t 😢 But this book is still REALLY good
Amazing!
I very much loved the book, and I’m not a huge mystery book reader but this changed it all for me! The character Sloane is very well done with the author making her story feel very real. The ending was very surprising and nothing like you would think and gave me an emotional roller coaster, and I would say that’s a good thing. The only negative thing I would say is that the last five to ten pages could of been better (like the ending) but other than that if you like mystery, drama, and plot twist this book is definitely for you! I would say that the author is amazing and underrated for her talent, so please read!
