Best book ever!. Best book I ever read!

Another winner from Natalie D. Richards. I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. One Was Lost is my second Natalie D. Richard’s novel and will not be my last. First – look at that cover! That screams thriller. I actually get kind of a Blair Witch vibe from it, which isn’t too far off the mark. The basic premise is a group of kids (and two teachers) lost in the woods with a killer on the loose. They’re drugged, wake to have words written on their arms, and nobody knows who to trust. The way this book starts, we’re thrown into the story. Sera is on a “Senior Life Experience” camping trip with 4 classmates and two teachers. Early on the group gets separated, leaving Sera with Mr. Walker (a teacher), Emily (a girl with unexplained bruises), Jude (a rich boy with a set of gay dads and a chip on his shoulder), and Lucas (the boy Sera has history with, that she’s been trying to avoid for months). In the other group are Ms. Brightman (another teacher), and Madison and Hayley, who are sort of interchangeable to Sera. Richards doesn’t info dump like a lot of authors do, spending pages at the beginning explaining backstory and characterization. Instead, we’re thrown in with these kids and slowly get to know them over the course of the novel. Immediately we know how Sera feels about each of her classmates, though we don’t really know the why’s just yet. It isn’t until the end of the book that I really understood all of the characters. By the end I’d also felt like I experienced this ordeal with them, and it was interesting to see how their experiences changed them. The mystery in this novel is awesome. Just like the kids in the book, I had multiple suspects in mind as I read through. My theories of whodunnit fell on each of the students and teachers in turn, and even at one point went to, “this is all planned by the teachers to mess with the kids.” I think this story possibly could have benefited from starting a touch sooner, to include the ghost stories told around the campfire that are mentioned throughout the story, but we as the reader didn’t experience. But I really don’t think the story lacked anything not including that scene. It just would have been nice to have more “on camera” time with the other group who Sera is separated from early on. As with the previous Richards book I read, My Secret To Tell, she shines at characterization. She throws little pieces of the characters back story at the reader, giving them time to absorb before handing over another piece of the story. We know from the beginning that Sera’s mom left, but it isn’t until the end that we know why. We know Sera has a history with Lucas, but we don’t know what that history entails and who was at fault. By the end I completely understood Sera and why she acted the way she did throughout the story, and I appreciated where her character development left her by the last page. I also give props to Richards for including a diverse cast. Sera is Lebanese. I believe Jude is African American, and Emily may be non-caucasisian as well. The way Richards writes, skin color is not a top priority. The characters are just people, three-dimensional characters. Sera may not be of European descent like me, but I could put myself in her shoes and relate to her. Do I recommend this book? ABSOLUTELY! This is a fast paced, mystery thriller with well-defined characters. I know I’ll be getting my hands on the rest of Natalie D. Richard’s publications.

So good!. Such a great book

Amazing and Suspenseful Read!!. One Was Lost was my first experience with any of Natalie Richards’s works and I must say, I was extremely pleased. I could not put this book down once I started because Natalie Richards had me on the edge of my seat the entire way through Sera’s story. There are so many things I want to say about One Was Lost, but I don’t want to spoil it for those of you who have not yet read the book. My family is big into camping, so I have a lot of experience in the woods and typically feel very comfortable. After reading One Was Lost, I may be looking over my shoulder during my next camping trip. This book had me constantly guessing at what was going to happen next and what or who could possibly be hiding in the woods. Besides the edge-of-your-seat suspense that this story is made of, there is also some history and romance going on between Sera and Lucas. To be honest, I was pulling for Lucas from the very beginning. It is obvious that Sera cares for him, but is hesitant to allow herself anything that could possibly contain real feelings out of the fear that she will turn into her mother. All of the characters in this story are so easy to relate to, but at the same time you are constantly guessing at what secrets they are holding back. And then that plot twist at the end…HOLY COW! I won’t say anything more, so as not to ruin the suspe

Couldn't put it down!!. This book was wonderful it has the suspense it has the thrill it even has the emotionally constipated romance I loved it and I promise you will too
