Book Review: Let Her Be (Hush, #6) by Lisa Unger

Let Her Be (Hush, #6)   by Lisa Unger is a short story that opens with the main character attempting suicide and going through a treatment plan to get better. When his ex-girlfriend disappears, he elicits the help of their mutual friend Emily to find out what happened. I decided to read this story without reading the synopsis because it is written by one of my favorite authors. Had I realized the story included domestic abuse and attempted suicide, I might have passed on it. However, I persevered and wanted to find out what happened to the ex-girlfriend.  There were some red herrings that completely threw me, and the person who I thought was involved wasn't involved. I have to say I was shocked by the ending and didn't care for the revelation.  As for the characters, there weren't many in the story, but I have to say I didn't care for the main character. The rest of the characters were likable. Four out of five stars is what I gave  Let Her Be (Hush, #6)  by Lisa Unger.

I promptly went home, put the book on one of my book shelves, and promptly forgot about it. Approximately a month or two later, I received an email from Goodreads.com letting me know that I had won  Curse of the Spellmans  by Lisa Lutz, which was the sequel to  The Spellman Fi
