In general I really like Historical Fiction that is based off of a specific event or person, rather than ones that are just set in a different time period. I like hearing the different 'theories' on how stuff actually happened, and it makes you really think about the person or event.So, as you may assume, I thought I would really like this book. It sounded great. I have learned about Roanoke previously, in school and in documentaries, but I am no expert on it. Even still, some of what was presented as previously known facts (to which the main character is trying to disprove) did not sound right to me. Neither did some of the flashbacks. It just seemed like the effort to research in depth was lacking. The generalities seemed okay at most times, but the details were off.
I also found Avery to be an annoying and intolerable character. She paid little to no attention to what was going on around her, and endangered the life of her best friend without even a thought. Then gave barely any thought to her best friend that was fighting for her life, she just went on to the next part of her hunch.
The mystery was pretty interesting, though a lot of the mysteries brought up in the book (Besides the 'what happened to the colony', which did get solved), were not solved. They were left open for the next book, which I have no intention of reading.
So, I found it rather disappointing to say the least.

Roanoke Vanishing The Vanishing Series Volume 1 (Audible Audio Edition) Auburn Seal Caprisha Page Books Reviews
"Roanoke Vanishing" was a great book - completely addictive and seemed like a totally believable explanation to me, which made it much better than some far-fetched theory such as ones I have seen in other conspiracy theory books! I read it in two days and only because I was forced to put it down temporarily! Great characterization and loved the 2 stories going on-board and present. Normally when books feature corresponding storylines throughout the book, such as past and present, or differing characters depending on the chapter, I am always rushing through the one that is my least favorite to get to the "good" chapters. In this book, however, I loved Elinor (past) and Avery (present), so I could relax and enjoy both perspectives for once. I can't reveal this part completely, but as for the end -great surprise! I kept expecting that last twist to happen earlier on, so it was a fun surprise thrown in at the end, since I had already assumed I must have miscalculated it and no bad guys were left! I definitely recommend!
Interesting subject matter. Wouldn't go as far as to say that the book is poorly written, but it's definitely not *well* written o( And I agree with another reviewer who mentioned the poor editing. I'd add to this that it was distracting that in so many instances, the lack of contractions (don't, won't, etc.) within the story and/or dialogue was very distracting. I don't know what's up with that, since there were plenty of other instances where the author did actually use contractions, so it's not like it was just the style of writing.I found that it just really was awkward, particularly within the dialogue. Also, I didn't like switching between the two time-frames within the book. Still, it was interesting enough that I read it to the end, but I'll admit that until the last few chapters, I completely skipped over anything from the 1500's part of the story.
What’s better than a good story? Two good stories for the price of one.
“Roanoke Vanishing” could be described as such, as the story divides its time between a mystery in modern times and the adventures of the colonists in the past.
Avery Lane has all the pressures of any grad student trying to finish her thesis, but on top of that she has the added stress of her mentor suddenly and inexplicably denying her desire to solve the mystery of the Lost Colony of Roanoke. When she decides to proceed anyway, hoping to find evidence to change her mentor’s mind, she is threatened by the sinister “Descendants” who tell her to let it go...or else.
She almost gives in. That is until the ghost of Elinor Dare, the mother of Virginia Dare, the first European born in the New World, convinces her that more than just her future is at stake...the future of the world needs the truth to be know.
As Avery contends with betrayal, threats, murderers, vague spirits, and distracting new relationships, Elinor’s story unfolds between the pages as well, leading the reader down a road that can end only in one way. But this time there will be an answer when past and present collide
“Roanoke Vanishing” is a sufficient page turner, following the thread of one of the many theories to completion, followed by the promise of more adventures with Avery in history.
Love historical fiction. Great beginnings for a series. Love that the book is written as a college student doing research and being able to find important relics.
What I didn't like......
Chapter 30 and 31 are the EXACT same chapters even though chapter 30 is the past and chapter 31 says it is in the present. So, chapter 30 is correct and chapter 31 is actually missing but was replaced with the contents of chapter 30. Then as you get over the missing chapter 31 and move on with the story moving along once again.......you get to chapter 40 and all you get is the chapter page!!!! THE VERY NEXT PAGE IS CHAPTER 41!!!!!!
To sum it up....
There are 2 entire chapter missing from the book.......and you know this since there are references to information that is totally missing.
