Gone, by Kamryn Keen

Past truths could unravel everything.

What begins as a simple sleepover turns into every parent’s worst nightmare when Kassidy and her three friends—Chloe, Kelsey, and Taylor—are violently abducted. At first, they think it’s about ransom. But the truth is far more disturbing.

Enduring captivity, fractured alliances, and escalating abuse, they are pushed to their physical and emotional limits. As the motive emerges, they must rely on each other to survive a nightmare that only deepens with every betrayal and every buried secret.

Gone is a raw, unflinching psychological thriller about trauma, survival, and reclaiming control. For mature readers only, this story doesn’t shy away darkness–but it never loses sight of the courage it takes to find the light.
