This is a dark and gripping psychological thriller. I couldn't put it down. It's quite sad but I did appreciate the glimmers of hope for a different future, and the end was spot on. It was well written and the plot played out well.

Last year I picked up my first Lisa Unger and have not looked back. Lisa is an auto buy author for me. Last Girl Ghosted was a perfect popcorn thriller that keeps you edgy and wondering what the heck is going on! So many times I was turned in so many directions. I love timelines that switch to past and present so it was like the icing on the cake.

A good read, and what I've come to expect from the author. Gripping and twisty, full of tension and twists.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for approving me for this book.

I felt the writing was done well in this book but there was just something missing for me and I couldn't get into it and enjoy it as much as I hoped I would.

Wren makes a living running a blog advice column & podcast called 'Dear Birdie'. She's persuaded by her best friend to try online dating app Torch. After a couple of uninspiring dates, she swipes on brooding Adam who quotes Rilke. Their first date is a success & they quickly fall for each other. Several months later, without warning Adam is uncharacteristically late for their date, so Wren rings him but the call goes unanswered, her texts left unread. She receives a text saying goodbye & then his phone is disconnected.

Now a private detective turns up on Wren's doorstep, he shows her a photo of Adam although he calls him a different name. He's wanted in connection with the disappearance of three women all of whom he met via Torch. Wren goes to the apartment where Adam supposedly lived but finds it was only a vacation rental. His company office is listed outside the building where he told her he was based, but the office is empty with no employees. Did Adam tell her the truth about anything? At first Wren is upset but then she gets angry - how dare Adam just ghost her like this?

This should have been a taut thriller about a woman tracking down a possible serial killer using dating apps to trawl for victims. What we got was a stodgy mess & a main character who goes on about how she still loves the man who lied to her, ghosted her, & possibly killed three women. It started off with promise & pace, but somewhere along the journey the narrative started to meander. Then we had the obligatory "usually intelligent MC does a really foolish thing" moment. It's disappointing because it could have been great. The most memorable character was probably the private detective whom I pictured as Cary Elwes - so I was rather amused when 'The Princess Bride' was namechecked in the book. I've read 'Under My Skin' by the same author & loved it, but this one was a miss for me.

My thanks to NetGalley & publishers, HQ Digital, for the opportunity to read an ARC.

3.25 stars. What do you do when the man you met and dated on an online app suddenly drops and ignores you when you thought there was definitely a strong connection between the pair of you? Well if you are anything like Wren you will be determined to find out why! Until you are used to the way this particular book is written it is a bit confusing to follow. It tended to drag on with repetitions and the ending is meh. Despite all that I did like the book, some parts more than others. Wren was an idiot at times and there was more than enough about her strange family. Could have done with less of that and more of the present day. It did pass the time nicely for me!

This is a very dark story about a girl that has lived through a difficult childhood and is trying to put it behind her until she meets a man on a dating site then her past starts to catch up with her in a very unpleasant way. Dark and disturbing with a few twists along the way.

I really enjoyed this book, about a woman after her boyfriend ghosts her and removes all of his social media accounts.

This book follows Wren who has a tragic past and cannot let go the idea that something is wrong. The story did not go where I thought it would and I could not put it down.

I finished this book in 1 sitting and would definitely recommend it.

I've never read anything else by this author, and tbh I probably wont in future either. The beginning of this book was fantastic, so gripping and exciting, but it lost its way and ended up as just another forgettable thriller with an underwhelming ending.

A brilliant psychological thriller that left me breathless. I savoured every single word of it.

Excellent prose and characterisation. I really believed in these people and cared for them. Absolutely loved Wren and Jax and all the dating scenes.

The plotting was just meticulous and I never saw the twists coming.

Highly Recommended

This started out being a fast paced thriller with Wren falling for a weird guy from the dating app. I was thinking there would be more of a suspense but when the book went into the past, it felt off and I didn't feel the connect that I felt in the first half. I felt there could have been more of the intrigue that it began with. Ending was quite unbelievable too. An okay read.

This is a book about online dating. This book was fast paced. I loved the storyline but I found it to be a bit over the top. I just didnt feel that thrill factor.

this was different for me and I LOVED it! the constant tension, who will kill who...who will die...who will be found out and of course the inevitable love story to end with, really good read!

Wow, from start to finish WOW. This story is the definition of a page-turner. Could not put it down. I so wanted happiness for Wren after reading about her back story, which is just devastating. So many twists!~
