This electric cross-country thriller follows the game of cat and mouse between a girl on the run from a murder she witnessed—or committed?—and the boy who’s sent to kill her.
Nicolette Holland is the girl everyone likes. Up for adventure. Loyal to a fault. And she’s pretty sure she can get away with anything...until a young woman is brutally murdered in the woods near Nicolette’s house. Which is why she has to disappear.
Jack Manx has always been the stand-up guy with the killer last name. But straight A’s and athletic trophies can’t make people forget that his father was a hit man and his brother is doing time for armed assault. Just when Jack is about to graduate from his Las Vegas high school and head east for college, his brother pulls him into the family business with inescapable instructions: find this ruthless Nicolette Holland and get rid of her. Or else Jack and everyone he loves will pay the price.
As Nicolette and Jack race to outsmart each other, tensions—and attractions—run high. Told in alternating voices, this tightly plotted mystery and tense love story challenges our assumptions about right and wrong, guilt and innocence, truth and lies.

The first line of the summary says it all. How To Disappear really is electric.
Nicolette and Jack have AMAZING chemistry, and made this book seriously, seriously addictive. Their bickering was hilarious and sweet (especially when Nicolette was holding a gun to Jack's head.) The main characters and the interactions made this book amazing, but the plot and the tense, twisty danger made it epic. It kept me guessing the whole way through, and I didn't actually predict the end which was awesome. So many layers and secrets and lies.
Dangerous, romantic, and clever. I loved it.
