Cutter's Pass in the North Caroline mountains where people keep vanishing. Abby thinks it's just a coincidence but when the brother of the last person to disappear appears at the Inn were she has been working for the last 10 years, she starts wondering if maybe there's more to it. A good page-turner with slightly creepy vibes.

The last to vanish by Megan Miranda will be released in July 2022. This is a great story of disappearance in the mountains. Is the small town covering up anything. Can five disappearances I ten year be explained as conquenced. I recommend this book. A great beach this summer

Another top shelf offering from Megan Miranda. The Last to Vanish paints a setting so vivid and real that you will be swept away instantly. What will first make you feel warm and cozy amongst the quaint town and its inhabitants will soon make you feel trapped and claustrophobic. So many secrets are buried and the locals are closing ranks to protect those secrets at all cost. Will Abby, the front desk clerk at the inn be able to uncover the truth before it’s too late? After all, she may have been in Cutter’s Pass for a decade, but is she really one of the insiders?

This book wastes no time to get you interested in what happened in Cutter’s Pass. Cutter’s pass is a small town in North Carolina, that attracts vacationers, hikers, and tourists of all sorts. Including the tourists that are intregued in the history of people that went missing.

Seven people missing, beginning twenty- five years before the present date, with the Fraternity Four, then there was Alice Kelly , Farrah Jordan , Landon West…

Cutter’s Pass, the small town, with one tavern, one inn, one sheriff. Everyone knows everyone but no one knows what happened to missing people that were passing through, or do they?!

This book will have you stumped, trying to connect the dots as to what happened to these vanishing visitors!

The Last to Vanish was a slow build but full of suspense and a few twists. We follow Abby who works at an inn in Cutter's Pass, North Carolina. This small town has been at the center of multiple disappearances over several years. The most recent missing person's brother shows up to try and piece together what happened to him. This sets in motion a chain of events that leads to the reason for the disappearances (not to give away any spoilers). It is easy to suspect many of the town's residents. The author does a great job of keeping us guessing and painting the moody and dark atmosphere of the novel. I really enjoyed this latest by Megan Miranda and enjoyed it as much as her other books! Thank you to NetGalley and Scribner/Marysue Riccii Books for the ARC!

"The Last to Vanish" was definitely better than her last one. Megan Miranda is a go-to with domestic suspense.

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC


I definitely was hooked from the start. A rural town, a bunch of hikers who go missing. The perfect set up. I felt like the middle of the book dragged a bit and the twists and turns at the end were just meh but it was a good quick read. I would recommend. Not my favorite, but also not my least favorite.

I loved this book. This author always hooks me on the first page. I hope she continues to write more in this series

This is only my second Megan Miranda book, but I am starting to understand why so many people love her thrillers/mysteries. This book was really good, and the plot twist at the end? Didn’t see it coming, even though it did take a little bit to actually get there. It dragged in some places, but I don’t think that affected the overall story.

Brief Summary: Abigail Lovett moves to Culver’s Pass, NC and finds a job at the Passage Inn. This area has had a string of unusual disappearances that have not been solved in over 20 years. When a journalist (Landon West) who is investigating these disappearances comes to Culver’s Pass, he also disappears, leaving his brother to come and find some answers.

Things I really liked:
- The overall mystery - as previously stated I did not see the ending coming
- I loved how Culver’s Pass became it’s own character - the details of the area and the ambiance of the disappearances were heightened by the personification of this mysterious area
- The writing style is perfect for this type of story

Things that weren’t my favorite:
- The story was a little slow, but once it got to the good stuff, I couldn’t put it down


Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.

BOOK REVIEW 💯 📚

Abigail left her home 10 years ago after her mother passed away. Abigail never knew her father and had no siblings. She winds up in Cutter's Pass, a small town with many secrets, including the mysterious disappearance of the "Fraternity Four".
What is even more chilling is that history seems to be repeating itself with another disappearance, eerily similar to the past.

A little bit of a slower start BUT has a great mystery!
By far my favorite Megan Miranda novel that I have read so far!

Thank you a MILLION to NetGalley for this ARC! What an amazing opportunity 🙌

Megan Miranda is one of my favorite domestic suspense and thriller authors. “The Last to Vanish” is an excellent addition to her collection!

For me, reading this book reminded me of when I first read All The Missing Girls and couldn't put it down. This is the best book I've read by Miranda in a while as it kept me guessing and the way the story was developed was fantastic. Set in a small North Carolina town, notorious for a handful of missing people over the years, the main character, Abby, tells her story of working at the Inn. Trey, the brother of the last missing person has arrived to find answers and conversation with him gets Abby thinking about what she really knows about the people and place she has made her home the past ten years. Good twists, slow building tension, I really enjoyed this one! Thank you netgalley for this arc in exchange for my honest opinion.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but to be honest, for me Miranda's previous novel A Quiet Place was far superior. This is an excellent, well paced thriller but it fell short in some ways. The writing is solid, there is a great sense of place and the small town identity of Cutter's Pass was well drawn. I love the idea os The Passage Inn and want to go stay there! Megan Miranda is on my list of authors to watch for so I was excited to get a review copy. I was underwhelmed by the first big reveal and predicted the ending. I think it could have benefited from a closer, tighter edit. The pacing seems a bit too slow. The suspsense factor was excellent in A Quiet Place but was missing here. I also cared more about the characters than I did here. I will read the next book by this author!

A great page turning thriller. I loved the setting in the foothills of the Appalachain Mountains. I loved the town full of history and secrets. I was scared of the idea of hikers just disappearing. A great mystery!

Cutter's Pass is notorious as "the most dangerous town in North Carolina" if you believe the headlines. Residents claim that to be patently false, though admittedly a few tourists have disappeared mysteriously over the past twenty-five years, The small town, nestled at the bottom of an Appalachian mountain, is home to a close-knit group of lifelong residents. Abby Lovett is still considered an outsider even though she has lived in Cutter's Pass while working at the Passage Inn for the past decade. When the brother of the most recently vanished guest checks in, his investigation sets in motion a series of events that leads to the revealing of what has really been going on in the quaint little town.
Megan Miranda has written a compelling and twisty mystery that will keep the reader guessing throughout the read. The characters are well-crafted and believable, filling a backstory that will leave you guessing until the very end. An unputdownable read.
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for allowing me to read and review this title.

This was an advanced reader copy for review.

This book took a while to get into the mystery and thriller elements compared to some of Miranda's other works. The detailed imagery created an atmosphere full of mystery and intrigue, but the reader needs to be prepared that they are not going to be jolted into an intense mystery right away.

It's a slow burn, but it was definitely worth the read. There were some excellent reveals and twists. The connections between the seemingly different disappearances was fun to figure out as the story continued.

I gave it 4 stars because I enjoyed the mystery and the reveals. It didn't completely suck me in until the last 10% or so, but then I had to stay up lat

Megan Miranda’s new thriller is always my most anticipated read of the year. This book lived up to my expectations and will be a great summer read when it debuts July 26th 2022!
Miranda returns with The Last to Vanish a story about a cabin resort in the North Carolina mountains. The story focuses on the main character, Abigail Lovett, who works and has lived at the Inn for the past ten years. Cutter’s Pass is not only known for its scenic mountains and hiking trails, but also for the mysterious disappearances of hikers over the past 25 years. When Trey West, brother of one of the disappeared hikers, shows up to investigate his brother’s case, Abby finds herself entwined in finding out what happened to the hikers and new evidence that could be incriminating to some of the members in the community.
My favorite thing about Megan Miranda’s novels are the twists and turns that keep you reading throughout the entire novel. There are always multiple surprises that you never see coming, which keeps you on your toes and wanting more. The Last to Vanish had such a twist at the end that made me gasp out loud as I was reading. Although Miranda did a great job describing the setting of the mountains, I could not really imagine it because I am not into hiking or mountain scenes. I also wish I connected with the characters more, but they fell a little flat for me. All in all, another great thriller that will have readers on the edge of their seat this summer. 4 out of 5 stars for The Last to Vanish.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. Abby has been working at an inn in Cutter's Pass, a small town at the base of the Appalachian Trail. Trey, the brother of a hiker that disappeared a year before has come back looking for answers. His brother had been researching the disappearance of several other hikers that had gone missing before him. Abby begins her search for answers as well until it gets her into trouble.
This book was ok. The ending was no revelation and answers were not shocking.

I enjoy reading Megan Miranda's books. This one for me fell short, it was not my favorite. I think there are many others that will enjoy this book, it just didn't work for me. I felt in the very beginning lost and wasn't really sure what was happening. They may have been the intent.

Megan Miranda books are infused with suspense from the first word. She is the queen of creating atmosphere, and this book is more masterful work with mood.

Cutter's Pass, North Carolina has seen more than its share of losses to nature's folly, but Abigail, a relative newcomer of 10 years has made the town her own. Working at a resort near the foot of a mountain, Abby knows nature fickle, but beautiful.

When the most recent missing person's brother shows up, Abby is drawn to question what exactly is hiding beneath the mountain of the town.

Another great, enthralling read from Miranda. Perfect for those who love atmospheric suspense.
