Girl Last Seen

Girl Last Seen
by Nina Laurin

Two missing girls.  Thirteen years apart.   Laine was kidnapped thirteen years ago and escaped.  There is presently another young girl missing, who Laine notices looks quite a bit like her.  Her kidnapper was never caught, so she suspects that her kidnapper has found a girl who looks like her to replace her.

Laine lives in the bad part of the city and works two jobs trying to keep her apartment.  She is soon re-connecting with the policeman who found her when she escaped from her kidnapper and she becomes involved in trying to help find the missing girl, Olivia.

This book draws you in, you wonder where missing Olivia is and who the kidnapper is.  Laine has her issues, but it makes the character more realistic.  I don't want to read about perfect characters as nobody is perfect.  She has had a hard life, so her having problems is understandable.  She makes several poor decisions which is frustrating, but in the end you think maybe she will be okay and able to turn things around.
