The Disappearance of Sloane Sullivan

YA chiller 

     Imagine you're in a witness security program.  You lost your parents when you were quite young.  You move very frequently.  You're never allowed to have close friends or normal growing up experiences.  And every move requires a totally different identity.

     I don't know about you.  But that doesn't seem like a life to me.

     That's the only life Sloane knows.  She's been nineteen different people in nearly six years.  Even blending in, following the rules, and not letting anyone get too close, she and Mark, the marshal who fills in for her deceased parents, have often had to leave rapidly at the faintest hint of danger.

     This may be about to change.  Sloane is starting a new high school.  Mark has promised her that if she goes through the nine weeks before graduation and gets accepted to college she'll be free of the program, free of the constant hiding, free to be Sloane Sullivan for the rest of her life.

     Only the first day she sees Jason,her best friend from her pre witness security days.  She knows she should tell Mark.  But they had to move once because she saw a former neighbor.  She doesn't want to lose her chance for freedom and a normal life.

     But that's only the first of a series of risky decisions that culminate in a freshly slain body in her house and Mark gone.  If a twisty, suspenseful crime narrative where it can be hard to tell the trustworthy from the anything but is your idea of a good time you don't want to miss out on The Disappearance of Sloane Sullivan.

On a purrrsonal note, another rainy 🌧 day.  Eugene and I went for a ride.  We stopped at flea markets large and small.  I actually managed to buy Eugene's anniversary gift 🎁 😍 without him noticing.  I got a good price on a couple of cool jackets.  (Jules)

He's my adopted dad.  (Tobago)

A great big shout out goes out to Eugene.  Best wishes to all our readers who are celebrating 🍾 today.
