On the day she was abducted, Annie O'Sullivan, a thirty-two year old realtor, had three goals—sell a house, forget about a recent argument with her mother, and be on time for dinner with her ever- patient boyfriend. The open house is slow, but when her last visitor pulls up in a van as she's about to leave, Annie thinks it just might be her lucky day after all. Interwoven with the story of the year Annie spent as the captive of psychopath in a remote mountain cabin, which unfolds through sessions with her psychiatrist, is a second narrative recounting events following her escape—her struggle to piece her shattered life back together and the ongoing police investigation into the identity of her captor. The truth doesn't always set you free. Chevy Stevens's Still Missing is that rare debut find--a shocking, visceral, brutal and beautifully crafted debut novel.

"Holy cr@p! As if the beginning of this book wasn't intense enough the ending is mind-blowing! Such a fkd up story. I couldn't put it down. It has so much feelings and details I empathize with Annie. It might be a little rough to read sometimes but it adds to the experience of the story. "
"Honestly, I have no idea how to put this book into words. This was such a great book if anyone is truly interested in reading, especially if you’re into thrillers. Will most definitely recommend this book to anyone, regardless of if their a slow reader or fast, this is book WILL keep you hooked until the end and then some. ♥️"

"When I first started listening to this book....I thought that Annie was really rude and snotty.....a total beotch. But THEN......as I started getting further into the story I realized there was a HUGE reason why she was so nasty while at her sessions. What this poor woman had to go thru was insane and so intense! I can't imagine being kidnapped and basically mentally and physically tortured and raped and ruined for a year...only to have one specific moment in time give you the window of time you need to escape and then after returning home.....never feeling safe again.<br/><br/>What a haunting and thought provoking book....it is admirable how Annie fights to bring herself back from the hell she endured and how much she has been changed by the events. There are so many things that happen to her that just made me cringe...it made me think of how amazing the human spirit is when faced with such deplorable situations...how resilient a human being can be even when the situation is the worst possible scenario you could imagine for someone to go through.<br/><br/>There is a bit of a twist to the ending and I was pretty angry with the people involved in ruining Annie's life....but then I realized that Annie was damaged but she was not ruined....she would go on and be stronger everyday. This was such an intense but very good book to listen to and I would recommend it to anyone who isn't afraid of a bit of cringe-worthy story-telling."
"The twist at the end had me in awe. While there are some dark parts, it keeps the pages turning! I stayed up way to late finishing this book. "
