Still Missing by Chevy Stevens

Book DescriptionOn the day she was abducted, Annie O’Sullivan, a 32-year-old realtor, had three goals—sell a house, forget about a recent argument with her mother, and be on time for dinner with her ever-patient boyfriend. The open house is slow, but when her last visitor pulls up in a van as she's about to leave, Annie thinks it just might be her lucky day after all.

Interwoven with the story of the year Annie spent as the captive of a psychopath in a remote mountain cabin, which unfolds through sessions with her psychiatrist, is a second narrative recounting events following her escape—her struggle to piece her shattered life back together and the ongoing police investigation into the identity of her captor.

Still Missing is that rare debut find--a shocking, visceral, brutal and beautifully crafted debut novel.

My thoughts
Reading Still Missing by Chevy Stevens kept my involved from the start. Annie O’Sullivan, a realtor, was abducted and held captive for one year. Even afterwards, she is still captive within her own mind. She struggles with her life, family, friends and everything. Life will never be the same.

Some of the narrative is told from Annie’s point of view as speaks to her therapist and we are also learn more about the captor and the reasons behind her abduction. I couldn’t believe how the story unfolded and as I mentioned before it kept me captivated until the last sentence.
