The Last Child

by John Hart


AMAZING!!! This is for sure one of my new favorite authors! I can't wait to go buy his other books! I don't read a whole lot of mystery/ murder books (not because I don't like them, but because there is so much Chic Lit out there that I love) but I am so glad I picked this book up! I literally could NOT put this book down. Anytime I had the chance, I was reading in anticipation to see what would happen next. Everytime I thought I had something figured out, another element was added to the story....I love books like this!

This book is about a 13 year old boy named Johnny. The abduction of his twin sister just a year earlier has completely torn his family apart. Johnny will do anything to find his sister and nothing will get in his way. I found myself in awe of this boy who had such passion to get his family back together. Completely selfless, Johnny, sacrifices his own safety to find out what really happened to his sister, Alyssa.
