Have You Seen This Girl

Flocksdale Files Series, Book 1

By: Carissa Ann Lynch

Narrated by: Samantha Desz

Wendi Wise is a troubled young woman who snorts her breakfast through a straw and spends more time in rehab than in the real world. Her life is seemingly out of control. But now she has a plan. That plan involves a sharp set of butcher knives. She's going back to where all of her troubles began...Flocksdale.

Wendi was lured away from a local skating rink, at the age of 13, and held captive in a place she calls The House of Horrors. Dumped off blindfolded on the side of a dirt road, Wendi soon discovered that she was addicted to the drugs they fed her while she was captive.

Too scared to go home, and having a new habit to deal with, she hopped on a bus, vanishing from the family she loved. Vanishing from Flocksdale....

The town of Flocksdale is littered with fliers with a grainy image of young Wendi, and the words Have You Seen This Girl? written below.

Now, eight years later, she's on a mission - a mission to find the mysterious house from her youth and the monsters who dwell inside it.

Excellent twist

I thought this book was well written. The twist was great. It really got me and I love when that happens. The narrator's voice was too lackadaisical for such a subject but increasing the speed to 1.10 really helped

All consuming

The tears I sobbed for the child in this story. Dear Gussy, I couldn’t function or do anything until I finished this book. Every fear and heartbreak was my own. Amazingly written and I think it will haunt me forever. 10000/10.

It’s ok…

This book will keep you interested; however, it is so unreasonable at times it makes it hard to suspend your disbelief. None of what happened makes any sense and everything that happens is a little too convenient to make the plot work. If you want an easy listen and you’re able to ignore everything problematic, it’s a decent listen.

women are POWERFUL

I loved how to story made sure that the character "told her truth" and became empowered with faith after someone chose to step in and believe in her. There are too many women who are pushed to the side or doubted just because of their past. GREAT story

Gripping and hard to put down

I feel like this is one of those genius novels that slip right into a genre and get overlooked because the author's name isn't well known...yet. It should be.
I also feel like this is pertinent to the times with child trafficking being in the news so much. The author gives us some horrifying scenarios that very few probably even considered. Her very stark, realistic portrayal of drug abuse places the reader in a world they may know very little about, and is an eye opening reminder of how so many of the abused and discarded end up as addicts in the first place. I'll leave it at that so I dont spoil the plot. If you like twisty, intense storylines, check this out. I'm moving on to book #2 in the series now.

Full body chills

Wowzers! This was an amazingly vivid story! And the ending gave me full body chills!

Great read

One of the best I’ve listened to in awhile. Lots of twists and turns. I highly recommend.

Excellent story

Really liked the believability of the story. Love the main character, with all her faults.

great audio

well-written, loved the characters and narrative .. will recommend to book groups. loved the twisty turns.

Absurd

This was terrible and so unbelievable. Did a middle schooler write this? I don't understand the good reviews. Will not be listening to any more of this series.
