It was only meant to be a brief detour. But then Lauren finds herself trapped in a town called Lost on the edge of a desert, filled with things abandoned, broken and thrown away. And when she tries to escape, impassable dust storms and something unexplainable lead her back to Lost again and again. The residents she meets there tell her she's going to have to figure out just what she's missing--and what she's running from--before she can leave. So now Lauren's on a new search for a purpose and a destiny. And maybe, just maybe, she'll be found... Against the backdrop of this desolate and mystical town, Sarah Beth Durst writes an arresting, fantastical novel of one woman's impossible journey...and her quest to find her fate.

0From an initial, chilling fall into darkness, Sarah Beth Durst brings hope and magic to a horrific, almost apocalyptic beginning. Don't pick up this book unless you have time to make it through at least the first half of Lauren's journey, as her grief and circumstances will make it painful to leave her until she finds her footing.
Of course, "finding her footing" probably implies more hope than is warranted. Lost is a chilling place populated by lost souls and forgotten objects, with a pitiless magical nature that pits inhabitants against each other and themselves.
Sarah Beth Durst brings a dash of the consequences that bring to mind traditional fairy tales, while weaving a world all her own from scratch. The living embodiment of grief and healing, THE LOST is a riveting series opener that you won't want to miss.
