Hunting Annabelle

By Wendy Heard
Hunting Annabelle by Wendy Heard digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

“Her scream echoes in my memory. I know what happened. Whether anyone believes me or not, I know.”

Sean Suh is done with killing. After serving three years in a psychiatric prison, he’s determined to stay away from temptation. But he can’t resist Annabelle—beautiful, confident, incandescent Annabelle—who alone can see past the monster to the man inside. The man he’s desperately trying to be.

Then Annabelle disappears.

Sean is sure she’s been kidnapped—he witnessed her being taken firsthand—but the police are convinced that Sean himself is at the center of this crime. And he must admit, his illness has caused him to “lose time” before. What if there’s more to what happened than he’s able to remember?

Though haunted by the fear that it might be better for Annabelle if he never finds her, Sean can’t bring himself to let go of her without a fight. To save her, he’ll have to do more than confront his own demons… He’ll have to let them loose.

A chilling, deeply suspenseful page-turner set in the 1980s, Hunting Annabelle is a stunning debut that will leave you breathless to the very end.

“This book was definitely interesting and had a great twist but it wasn’t amazing until that twist started to form around 19 chapters in. 3-3.5 stars for sure”
Anxious Face with sweat“What the fuck was that ending? I loved the pacing and plot of the book until the last three chapters. I mainly read this book for the emo MC, because we rarely get to read about emo people in young adult fiction. The pacing of the book was great, until it got to a point where it shifted from a mystery/crime/thriller to some weird dark romance and Sean started doing weird shit. I understand his whole background with being a killer, but the mental illness representation in this book is portrayed in an unrealistic view. Then again, I cannot comment on this, because I do not have firsthand experience with schizophrenia or other related disorders. It felt like reading a creepy pasta or a Wattpad fanfic.”
