#Review Nearly Gone by @ElleCosimano #Giveaway @KathyDawsonBks @NightOwlReviews

Nearly GoneBones meets Fringe in a big, dark, scary, brilliantly-plotted urban thriller that will leave you guessing until the very end.

Nearly Boswell knows how to keep secrets. Living in a DC trailer park, she knows better than to share anything that would make her a target with her classmates. Like her mother's job as an exotic dancer, her obsession with the personal ads, and especially the emotions she can taste when she brushes against someone's skin. But when a serial killer goes on a killing spree and starts attacking students, leaving cryptic ads in the newspaper that only Nearly can decipher, she confides in the one person she shouldn't trust: the new guy at school—a reformed bad boy working undercover for the police, doing surveillance. . . on her.

Nearly might be the one person who can put all the clues together, and if she doesn't figure it all out soon—she'll be next.



   

Elle Cosimano grew up in the Washington, DC suburbs, the daughter of a maximum security prison warden and an elementary school teacher who rode a Harley. She annually attends the Writers' Police Academy at Guilford Technical Community College, Department of Public Safety, to conduct hands-on research for her books. She lives outside Washington, DC, with her husband and two sons. Nearly Gone is her first novel.


I have to say that I loved the names of the characters in this book. They were new and tied into the title.  I loved that there wasn't an insta love.  This book was a rare read and I will deff be grabbing an extra copy soon.  This book was full of mystery, a killer who loves puzzles, and an unbelievable end you won't see coming. I loved the cover and the story.  It has a great mystery and even better love story.  I can't wait to see what else this author has in store for us.

I've actually seen (up close and personal) more of what this author has in store. Pretty damn sure she's going very far!

I would want invisibility. Then I would steal ALL THE BOOKS!!

I'd want to have the ability to control fire

The power to read minds. Thanks for the giveaway!

If I could have one power it would be the power of all the elements!

To be able to fly... I think that would be totally thrilling :)

I actually borrowed Nearly Gone from my library but I haven't read it yet. It's currently sitting in my room.
