I read Amanda Panitch’s Damage Done last summer and, while I didn’t find it as twisty as I’d hoped it would be, I enjoyed it. I was therefore really looking forward to her newest book, Never Missing, Never Found.
This book was a well-paced, twisty story and I loved the way the narrator’s flashbacks were incorporated in with the present story. And I didn’t quite sort out what was happening until close to the end of the book, which was fun. Compared to Damage Done, I enjoyed this book’s structure, story, and characters more.
I am really excited to see what Amanda Panitch writes next! Definitely recommended for YA mystery fans.
