Going Dark

By Melissa de la Cruz
Going Dark by Melissa de la Cruz digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

“An intense rollercoaster of a thriller and a searing indictment of which victims get our attention and sympathy.”
#1 New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu


In this ripped-from-the-headlines Gone Girl meets A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, #1 New York Times bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz weaves a white-knuckle YA thriller about a beautiful young influencer who vanishes after going on vacation with her boyfriend.

#WhereisAmeliaAshley

The Influencer
Amelia Ashley shares everything with her followers – her favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurants, her best fashion tips, and her European trip-of-a-lifetime with her hot boyfriend.

The Boyfriend
Josh has no choice but to return home without Amelia after she abandons him in Rome. He has no clue where she went or how her blood got in his suitcase. Why won’t anyone believe him?

The Hacker
To Harper Delgado, Amelia Ashley is just another missing white girl whipping up a media frenzy. But with each digital knot she untangles about the influencer, Harper wonders: who is Amelia Ashley?

The Other Girl
Two years ago, another girl went missing, one who never made headlines or had a trending hashtag.

The Truth
Amelia’s disappearance has captured the world’s attention. What comes next? Watch this space…

Told through a mixture of social media posts, diary entries, and firsthand accounts, Going Dark is a gripping, suspenseful thriller about all the missing girls who fall off the radar, perfect for true crime fans and readers of One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus.

Surprised Face with Open Mouth“Interesting, but slightly unbelievable twist, mystery unable to be truly solved until mid-book exposition is given”
Anxious Face with sweat“How far would you go for the truth? How far is too far? When do you stop?”
Surprised Face with Open Mouth“Even though this book is being presented as being "ripped from the headlines" on the heels of blogger Gabby Petito's case, I feel that it is presented as a reminder that when a person of color or a person with mental health issues, or a history of running away, etc. is reported missing, it can be more often than not, shrugged off or not taken as seriously. At least, that is the perception. So, when a famous blogger goes missing and she just so happens to present as white, it creates a media frenzy. The police take it seriously and have their eyes on a suspect - not letting him out of their sights. The twists and turns make for a fun read, you won't see what's coming that's for sure. The ending is a description of Shasta Trinity National Forest , but the book takes you to nearly this precise location for a climactic ending you won't want to miss. From the author that brought you Isle of the lost and many other critically acclaimed books.... Going Dark is a 4/5 in my book...”
