Cribbs, Gia THE DISAPPEARANCE OF SLOANE SULLIVAN Harlequin Teen (Young Adult Fiction) $19.99 5, 29 ISBN: 978-1-335-01537-2
A girl on the run unexpectedly encounters a familiar face in this debut thriller.
Unable to remember details of the mob hit she witnessed six years earlier, high school senior Sloane Sullivan has changed her name 19 times so
far--and learned to break free, blend in, and cut ties. Her parents are dead, but her guardian has kept her safe...until now. Newly arrived in North
Carolina, Sloane just wants to finish high school, go to college, and escape both the witness protection program and the gangsters who want her
dead, but when she discovers one of her new classmates is her childhood best friend and first love, black-haired, blue-eyed Jason Thomas, the
chance to rekindle their romance makes Sloane reckless. Inevitably, Sloane (originally blonde and green-eyed) also attracts the amorous
attentions of redheaded Sawyer and green-eyed, ethnically ambiguous Oliver--and the wrath of their ex-girlfriends. Having spent so much time
assuming new identities, Sloane is nebulous as a character; her emotional journey is vivid but her history is vague. While there are enough twists
to fill the Lifetime movie this novel resembles, and the marriage of torrid teen melodrama and an admittedly unrealistic crime story produces
absurd (if action-packed) results, Cribbs excels at depicting complicated relationships and vulnerable characters.
A solid beach read filled with love triangles and high stakes. (Thriller. 14-18)

The Disappearance of Sloane Sullivan. By Gia Cribbs. May 2018.400p. HarlequinTeen, $18.99 (9781335015372); e-book, $18.99
(9781488088926). Gr. 8-11.
When Sloane Sullivan chose her name, she was hoping this would be the last one. Five years ago, she witnessed a crime she can't remember, lost
both of her parents, and has been in witness protection ever since--starting over in a new town with a new identity several times a year with Mark,
the marshal assigned to protect her. She's close to graduation, with hopes of going to college and starting a permanent life with her Sloan Sullivan
identity. Things get complicated when her childhood best friend is not only enrolled in her school but also turns out to be incredibly handsome
and sweet; furthermore, she begins to suspect Mark is hiding something from her. This thriller is high on swoon and red herrings, but the twisty
action doesn't start until later in the book. The pacing runs in circles a bit through the middle, but the budding romance carries the slower parts,
and readers who are skeptical of the depiction of witness protection will get a satisfying payoff once the action rises. --Beth McIntyre

The Disappearance of Sloane Sullivan
Gia Cribbs. Harlequin Teen, $19.99 (384p)
ISBN 978-1-335-01537-2
In Cribb's intricately plotted debut thriller, high-school senior Sloane Sullivan (her 19th identity) has been in the Witness Protection Program for
almost 6 years, after witnessing a violent crime. Her minder, Agent Markham, whom she calls Mark, has taken care of her through both her
mother's murder and her father's eventual suicide. She's ready to get out of the program and move on with her life. Staying anonymous, however,
seems like a tall order after she runs into her childhood best friend, Jason Thomas. Sloane just wants to be normal, but her past is catching up with
her, placing everyone she cares about in harm's way. Cribbs draws an effective portrait of a young woman forced to make unusual and mature
choices while navigating the more conventional stresses of teen life, and Sloane is a smart, savvy narrator. The tension increases exponentially in
the second half, when events force Sloane to put the disparate pieces of her past together, resulting in stunning revelations. Just when it seems that
a resolution is in sight, more surprises build to an explosive, satisfying finale. Ages 12-18. Agent: Steven Salpeter, Curtis Brown. (May)

  New Release Book Review: The Disappearance of Sloane Sullivan by Gia Cribbs
  June 5, 2018Amanda Barrett
  Title: The Disappearance of Sloane SullivanThe Disappearance of Sloane Sullivan small

  Author: Gia Cribbs

  Publisher: Harlequin Teen

  Pages: 400

  Genres: Fiction, Contemporary, Thriller, Mystery, Young Adult

  RRP: $29.99

  Rating: 3 stars

  No one wants me to tell you about the disappearance of Sloane Sullivan.

  Not the lawyers or the cops. Not her friends or family. Not even the boy who loved her more than anyone. And most certainly not the United States Marshals Service. You know, the people who run the witness protection program or, as it’s officially called, the Witness Security Program? Yeah, the WITSEC folks definitely don’t want me talking to you.

  But I don’t care. I have to tell someone.

  If I don’t, you’ll never know how completely wrong things can go. How a single decision can change everything. How, when it really comes down to it, you can’t trust anyone. Not even yourself. You have to understand, so it won’t happen to you next. Because you never know when the person sitting next to you isn’t who they claim to be…and because there are worse things than disappearing.

  My review:
  A debut thriller aimed at the young adult reader range (14-18 years), The Disappearance of Sloane Sullivan is a book about taking charge of your life and learning the art of concealment along the way. It is a fast paced and smart thriller that has a few surprises or two up its sleeve for the reader.

  The Disappearance of Sloane Sullivan begins with keynote character Sloane Sullivan, who in her short life has had an endless amount of different identities. Sloane is under the protection of the US Marshals service, who have placed Sloane in witness protection program (WITSEC), due to her past and family background. Sloane’s already complicated life is about to take another difficult turn when a figure from her past comes back into her life. Sloane must be careful who she can trust and the fallout leads to yet another disappearing act. Will Sloane ever be able to stop running and live her life again?

  I do appreciate a good thriller and I also like to dip in and out of the young adult genre from time to time. The title and the premise first grabbed me and definitely convinced me to request The Disappearance of Sloane Sullivan to review. Overall, although I felt I was a little too old to fully appreciate the breadth of this novel, but I did enjoy many elements of the book.

  My initial interest in this book was sparked by the central focus on the witness protection program or WITSEC, in which the lead of this novel, Sloane, finds herself placed into. I have to admit I don’t know a huge amount about the inner workings of the witness protection program, so this aspect of the book was informative and enriching. Cribbs presents the information pertaining to the witness protection program in an accessible manner. What also struck me was that Cribbs has clearly done her homework in this area of her novel, it comes across as fully researched and realistic.

  I also think Cribbs does a good job of capturing the feelings of a teenage girl trapped in this kind of situation. The lack of freedom, restrictions on life choices, the isolation, the inability to make lasting human connections and the sense of unpredictability of living life on the run. This aspect of the novel transfered well to the pages of the book.

  The relationships in this novel are explored and fleshed out well. I enjoyed the connection between Mark, the US Marshal sent in to protect Sloane. There was a familial link between Mark and Sloane which is captured well by Cribbs. The relationship between Sloane and Jason, the boy from her past, is presented well by the author. Those who enjoy the angst of teen relationships will appreciate this one. The inclusion of solid secondary characters to the fold add substance to the plot.

  Ultimately, I am confident readers will be drawn to the heroine of the story, Sloane. Cribbs presents her in two ways, vulnerable and sassy. She is independent, clever and forward thinking. Sloane is also relatable and her back history, told via intriguing flashbacks, was entertaining. There are plenty of twists, a strong surprise element and plenty of second guessing required on the part of the reader. If you are a fan of mystery style thrillers, this one will be sure to please you.

  The Disappearance of Sloane Sullivan is a book I would without hesitation recommend to the young adult age range, from ages 14+. The Disappearance of Sloane Sullivan offers a good mix of suspense, thrills and relationships issues. It also does a sound job of capturing the issues of a young woman living in a high pressured living environment and the secrets pertaining to her past.

  The Disappearance of Sloane Sullivan by Gia Cribbs was published on 21st May 2018 by Harlequin Teen. Details on how to purchase the book can be found here.

  Date released: May 29th 2018

  My Thoughts
  Thank you Harlequin Aus who sent me a copy to review!

  I read this book about two months ago and it absolutely blew my mind. The story follows Sloane who is put in witness protection with Mark, a Marshal sent to protect her, after she witness a brutal murder as well as her parents being killed as a child. As her eighteenth birthday and freedom from the program draws close, all Sloane has to do is keep a low profile. But that changes when she comes face to face with her childhood best friend at her new school. When signs of the murderer appear in her town, Sloane must decide if its finally time to face her fears and the truth.

  “It was just another wall of just another school. It was all familiar, except for the tiny voice inside my head that warned, This time’s going to be different.”
  It is very rare that I can say I loved absolutely everything about a book but that is true for The Disappearance of Sloane Sullivan. The plot line was somewhat cliche and done many times, but it had such a unique edge and refreshing spin to it. The writing was suspenseful and captivating and I was never bored at any point and better yet, there wasn’t various filler chapters like most novels. I adored the characters, especially Mark. I loved the bond Sloane and Mark shared and the undying loyalty they had for each other.

  The story started off on a bang from the very first page with such a gripping and suspenseful prologue that had me staying up late into the night to finish. This was Gia Cribbs debut novel and I can’t wait to see what she brings in the future because this one was such a page turner! The Disappearance of Sloane Sullivan is my favourite read of 2018 thus far. It full of twists and turns and I guarantee you won’t guess the ending. I highly recommend you pick up this thriller when its released on May 29!

  Summary: No one wants me to tell you about the disappearance of Sloane Sullivan. Not the lawyers or the cops. Not her friends or family. Not even the boy who loved her more than anyone. And most certainly not the United States Marshals Service. You know, the people who run the witness protection program or, as it’s officially called, the Witness Security Program? Yeah, the WITSEC folks definitely don’t want me talking to you. But I don’t care. I have to tell someone. If I don’t, you’ll never know how completely wrong things can go. How a single decision can change everything. How, when it really comes down to it, you can’t trust anyone. Not even yourself. You have to understand, so it won’t happen to you next. Because you never know when the person sitting next to you isn’t who they claim to be...and because there are worse things than disappearing.

  I received an ARC of Sloane Sullivan in exchange for an honest review, and I really loved this story. I'm so glad that I had the chance to review it! I am a huge fan of stories about people on the run (think The Rules for Disappearing or Genuine Fraud), so I was super excited when author Gia Cribbs reached out and asked me if I would like to review it. I was really honored, and really eager to get started. And once I did, I couldn't put this book down -- even when I had to! (But more on that later.)

  As the summary explains, Sloane Sullivan is the 19th identity that this young girl (who you don't know the true name of for awhile) has taken on. She witnessed something terrible many years ago, and she's been in the Witness Protection Program (dubbed WITSEC) ever since, on the run with her agent, Mark, trying to keep herself safe while hoping that Sloane Sullivan would become her final (and permanent) identity.

  I loved how this book hooked me from start to finish. It got to the point that I had to pace myself so I didn't finish the book too fast, because it was going to be another week or so until I got my next book! So it was a bit torturous to draw it out for as long as I did, because the end of each chapter kept making me want to keep flipping and reading. The story kept building and building and new aspects kept coming into play that made everything more complicated. I seriously could not put this book down.

  It was also really interesting to see how someone's life in WITSEC can be. Especially how stressful and scary! Always being on the run, never being able to stay for long, leaving your old life behind every single time...not to mention the fact that Sloane always had to look over her shoulder and make sure that she wasn't being followed by the one mob family that wanted to hurt her more than anything.

  But as Sloane settles in to her new life, she bumps into Jason, not only an old friend, but an old friend from her life before WITSEC. And she can't, under any circumstances, let him remember her. But as their friendship gets deeper and Sloane notices some inconsistencies in her life, things start to make sense in regards to what happen that night that put her in WITSEC...and what you find out will surprise you.

  (MAJOR spoilers in this paragraph -- please skip to the next one if you don't want the book to be ruined for you!) There were only a few things that I wasn't totally crazy about in this book. The first was that the whole scenario about Jason being in the same town as Sloane wasn't explained until more than halfway through the book. So for a good portion of the book, I was a little confused about how Jason ended up in Sloane's life when WITSEC was always so careful about avoiding people from the past. It's explained later on that it's because Jason moved to the house with his mother later on, but it was really confusing in the beginning because that isn't explained at all. And also, when Sloane is in Jason's house, she remembers all of the furniture and such. In retrospect I understand that the furniture could have been brought with them when they moved, but like I said, that wasn't explained for awhile. So I spent a good portion of this book unsure of how WITSEC made the mistake of placing Sloane in the old neighborhood that she used to live in before anything happened. So that part definitely needed a little bit of clarification.

  (More big spoilers here! Next paragraph, please!) The other thing that confused me a little bit was the very end, when I found out that Mark wasn't dead. I know that Dixon was in on the scheme and everything, but...did law enforcement not have to take Mark's body away? There were some hints that nobody ever outright said Mark was dead but it just seemed a little bit...off to me. I don't know. That whole letter at the end felt like everything was wrapped up a little too neatly in a bow -- a mysterious letter that explained everything in perfect detail, a bag full of money, and then poof, gone. Book over. Time to run away and get a new life. Don't get me wrong, I totally liked the idea and was on board with it -- I just felt like the ending felt a little too rushed and wrapped up so perfectly, almost as an afterthought to tie up all of the loose ends. So that confused me a little bit, too.

  But other than those two little things that confused me a bit with the book, I absolutely loved this story. Seriously. I couldn't put it down. Like I mentioned earlier, these are the kinds of stories that I live for and love to read, so I'm really grateful that Gia Cribbs gave me the opportunity to read and review this ARC. You definitely want this book on your TBR if you're looking for some thrills, mystery, and epic plot twists!

  Overall, I really enjoyed reading The Disappearance of Sloane Sullivan. Gia Cribbs constructed a super fast-paced, thrilling story of secrets and new lives that kept me hooked from the very beginning all the way until the very end. And as soon as I finished reading it, I immediately recommended it to Emily and Amber, because I know this is the kind of story that they would enjoy, also. This is a really, really great, fast-paced thrill of a story. You definitely don't want to miss out on it!

  The Disappearance of Sloane Sullivan by Gia Cribbs (ARC): Twists & Turns in the Witness Protection Program

  3.5 stars

  Sloane Sullivan is on her nineteenth persona.

  Not intentionally, of course, but it’s what the United States Marshals Service who run the Witness Security Program, or WITSEC, require. Sloane’s almost free–if she can graduate her last few months of high school without any mishaps, they’ll let her pursue her life, maybe go to college.

  But when the reappearance of people from Sloane’s past show up, and secrets about what really happened years ago, Sloane might just learn that she can’t trust anyone and that everything she knows is false.

  add to goodreads

  I did enjoy reading this and sped through it relatively quickly, although it was a bit slow at first.

  I found the concept to be very cool and I’m not usually a thriller reader (mysteries I’m fine with, but thrillers are usually pointless to me, i.e. Genuine Fraud and In Her Skin) but I actually liked parts of this thriller, so that was definitely a win when the genre was working against me.

  In this review I unfortunately can’t really comment on how good this is to experienced thriller readers (predictable or not? I do not know), but for a novice thriller reader, I did enjoy this a lot more than other thrillers I’ve read!

  The entire idea of WITSEC (the witness protection program) in a book was really fun and I loved reading about it! I’ve never really thought about WITSEC before except in that one Disney movie with Demi Lovato & Selena Gomez (lol), but having it be a key part of this novel was super cool.

  It made the story a lot more engaging than the typical “girl on the run” sort of thriller, and having them be “on the run” but as a part of WITSEC was a lot more fun. Plus, Cribbs really upped the stakes with that element of Sloane’s past, Jason, introduced early in the novel.

  At first, it felt pretty standard girl-on-the-run, but it definitely got a lot more interesting and in-depth as the story wore on. You learn about the just how deep this story goes–and the twists and turns get more intense as the story wears on.

  Just when you think Cribbs is done with throwing plot twists at you, she throws one last one at the end that can be summarized by a keyboard smash.

  The twists and turns were definitely my favorite part of this novel, closely followed by the whole WITSEC portion of the novel.

  I thought Sloane was a cool character, although I felt like she wasn’t the smartest and I didn’t really get a good grasp on her character, partly because she had gone through so many identities by the time this book started that she barely knew who she herself was.

  I was mostly here for the plot, and I wished the character element of the story was a little stronger. It almost felt like it was a romance-saves-the-day sort of novel because of how Jason played a really huge role in the ~things~ that happen to help release Sloane.

  I think this was well-written, although the pacing was a tad slow in the first half, but thriller just seems to be not the genre for me because I’m never really able to connect with the protagonists on the level that I want to. I definitely think die-hard thriller fans would want to check it out because it seems like a good thriller, but for me, it didn’t really do much to convince me to convert to the genre.

  Overall, I did enjoy reading and didn’t abhor any part of this. The plot twists and WITSEC element were very cool, I just ended up being sort of apathetic to everything else. I think if this seems like your thing, go for it.

  Thank you so much to Gia Cribbs for hosting this giveaway and sending me an ARC of her debut!

  much love, vicky
