I have read and enjoyed other K. Harper books and this is no exception. I found myself reading way past bedtime several nights. Although I figured out the villain, I still enjoyed how the ending was developed. No moral stories or thought-provoking prose, just a good story.

This book kept me right on the edge of my seat.. I had a hard time putting it down. I am so sorry that there are headlines for a series of books to be written from, but at least you can dream there is clouser for some out there. I thought the characters in the book were very believable and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Fabulous novel full of suspense. I didn't want to put it down until I finished it. Really kept me guessing as to who the kidnapper was.
