Have You Seen This Girl? by Carissa Ann Lynch


HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GIRL? 
Author: Carissa Ann Lynch
Series: Flocksdale Files #1
Publisher: Limitless Publishing
- SYNOPSIS -
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 thirteen, 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.

“This is the end, beautiful friend, the end…”

- ABOUT THE AUTHOR -
CARISSA ANN LYNCH

Besides my family, my greatest love in life is books. Reading them, writing them, holding them, smelling them…well, you get the idea. I’ve always loved to read, and some of my earliest childhood memories are me, tucked away in my room, lost in a good book. I received a five dollar allowance each week, and I always — always — spent it on books. My love affair with writing started early, but it mostly involved journaling and writing silly poems. Several years ago, I didn’t have a book to read so I decided on a whim to write my own story, something I’d like to read. It turned out to be harder than I thought, but from that point on I was hooked. My first and second books were released by Sarah Book Publishing: This Is Not About Love and Grayson’s Ridge. I’m a total genre-hopper. Basically, I like to write what I like to read: a little bit of everything! I reside in Floyds Knobs, Indiana with my husband, three children, and massive collection of books. I have a degree in psychology and worked as a counselor.

How do you take back what was stolen long ago? 

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 

thirteen, 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 (Amazon Blurb)

No matter how much we wish we could protect our children, there will always be trouble lurking 

around the corner. I remember, when I was younger and I really wanted to go this shopping mall 

not too far, I simply had to take my bike by the back roads and voila, 20 minutes later, we'd be 

there. I can't tell you how many times my parents told my sister and I that it was too dangerous 

to go alone there, and yet I still went. Two days later, my sister told my parents and I got the 

grounding of the century and lost my bike for nearly a month. Anger was the least of what I felt 

towards my sister and my parents. And now that I have my own daughter, I cringe every time 

she asks me if she can go play in the yard... Simply two steps for the back door!!! Carissa Lynch 

has brought to life every parents' nightmare, every child's worst fear and especially everything 

that could possibly go wrong when meeting new friends. How can we deal with this? 

Unbelievably, Wendi acts tougher than she looks, but still spirals out of control heavily addicted 

to drugs after years of imprisonment. Her only saving grace is wanting to come back to her 

home town for revenge against those who created what she sees in the mirror. For everyone 

who picks up this book, it is shocking, tear jerking and especially a mind f¥£k of the worst kind - 

but does not detract the fact that this is likely one of the best novels of its kind on the market, 

inspiring readers to think for themselves, to really question themselves and even ask 

themselves: what would you do in Wendi's place?
