This sequel was just as good as the first book. Such a fast read. It still took me a while to figure out who the killer was but it was more predictable than the first book.

Nearly Found is a solid sequel to Nearly Gone. While I didn’t love it as much as it’s predecessor, it captured my attention and kept me guessing until the very end.
Nearly Boswell is back and better than ever. With her tormentor behind bars her life should be on it’s way back to normal. However, that is not the case. She, along with many people in her life, have started receiving messages in places that should not be accessible to people; locked cars, bedrooms, and other private places. It’s up to Nearly, Reece, and her fellow classmates to figure out what is going on before bodies start piling up.
Nearly and Reece are back and their relationship is still very new. Nearly is starting school, a new internship, and on top of all that she is once again involved in some crazy stuff. She can’t ever seem to keep herself out of trouble. As for Reece, he has a new assignment that keeps him from spending a lot of time with Nearly and puts their new relationship on the rocks. To be completely honest, I was a little skeptical about him this time around. He acted quite sketchy at times. I wanted to love him like I did in the first book but he made it difficult.
This time around Nearly had a lot more allies, even if some of them were reluctant to team up with her. Alex and Gena are back but they don’t have prominent roles. I still loved them though, especially Alex. Jeremy and Anh are also back and I had some serious issues with them. They both blamed Nearly from what happened at the end of the first book and pretty much dropped her as a friend. I hated that. Vince was back and a bit less of a douchebag. Lonny was my favorite though. He has a unique relationship with Nearly. They have more in common than either would like to admit.
My biggest problem with Nearly Found was how much crap Nearly got away with. She was an intern with the forensics lab and she totally took advantage of the access that granted her. She should have been caught and in serious trouble many times but she somehow got away with it. It was very unrealistic. Her internship was a pretty fascinating part of the story though.
The mystery was just as good as the first book. I was completely unable to see the connections. I had no clue how everything was going to tie together. There were so many times when I just wanted to skip to the end to see who it was but I forced myself not to. I devoured the book in one day though because I could not stop reading without figuring out who the killer was. Good luck guessing this one.
As for Nearly, her development as a character and with her ability was fantastic. She is more open to touching people and she is really trying to learn to deal with her ability without pushing people away.
Overall, Nearly Found was a wonderful conclusion to this duology. I look forward to reading Elle Cosimano’s next book. I highly recommend this duology to suspense fans.

A bit more graphic than the first book, so that kind of turned me off from it. The mystery however was as solid and intriguing as the one in the first. However, Nearly still makes annoying decisions in this book and doesn't seem to have learned from her past mistakes which also annoys me to no end. But Reece remained cool, and other secondary characters were developed more and it was nice getting to know them in a more in depth manner.
Overall, 3.5

3.75 stars! A YA murder mystery that has a weird supernatural twist. I remember enjoying the first one and found myself sucked into the sequel as well. The thing that Leigh can sense emotions when she touches people is still weirdly out of sync with the tone of the rest of the book, mostly because it’s not really explained or explored, but at some point you just get used to it
