“The Missing Piece” By Kiersten Modglin

📕 Edition: Audiobook

This quick audiobook had me guessing at every turn, and I couldn't stop listening.

Jaicey Thomas, the protagonist, is far from your average seventeen-year-old. The unanswered questions surrounding her life create an atmosphere of mystery and suspense. Why have all the mirrors disappeared? Why won't her family read newspapers? The sense of foreboding deepens as Jaicey's nightmares persist, and an overwhelming fear of those around her takes hold.

The introduction of a mysterious stranger adds an intriguing layer to the narrative. He becomes Jaicey's potential ally in uncovering the truth, but the question of trust looms large. As Jaicey unravels the clues, she delves into her own memories, unearthing darkness she never expected.

Full of suspense, keeping readers hooked with each revelation. The urgency intensifies as Jaicey fights for her life, compelled to relive a traumatic night. Secrets emerge, deeper and darker than imagined, and time ticks away, ratcheting up the tension.
