How cool that the narrator is the one who was supposed to be the victim! She's got a real stake at finding the kidnapper because she might be the next one abducted. Is there something in her history that turned her into a target? And why would the kidnapper abduct the wrong girl, especially since he knew about the car - and a Mini Cooper is easily identifiable! Did that mistake on the kidnapper's part make sense? Was it plausible that he got the wrong girl? Or was the fact that he asked about the girl with the Mini Cooper an indirect warning to the narrator?<br /><br />If you like mysteries with great characters, try Kimberly Derting's The Body Finder series. There's a separate mystery in each book, the main character is really likable and well-rounded, and you also get a look at the killer's POV. <br /><br />If you also like a little romance in mysteries, you'll love the one in this one. It's not insta-love, their love grows slowly and meaningfully as well.Christina Kit.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294396274737254126.post-50121332936077241552012-05-12T14:41:50.853+02:002012-05-12T14:41:50.853+02:00Wow, another mystery book! The blurb of this one i...Wow, another mystery book! The blurb of this one is really intriguing. It had me asking as to why Gabie is supposed to be the one kidnapped? <br /><br />I like the idea of the POV's. Though it has different POV's, the author really pulled it off well? That's nice since some authors only have two POV's but can't get the story interesting that much. I'm glad to know that this author had it nicely done! I also love that the bad guy's POV is here. It adds to the scary part, right? Especially not knowing his/her name. I agree that pinning up some parts of the investigation can stir up the reader's mind as well. It helps you feel that this is a real mystery. And you having to guess who the kidnapper is!<br /><br />Maybe Gabie feels bad because Kayla's the one who's in danger when she shall be the one there? So maybe that's why she keeps on saying that Kayla's alive? To at least make her feel calm and make her feel less guilty? I don't know, I'm guessing! Haven't read it though. ;)<br /><br />You really had me thinking as to who the kidnapper is! This is the part where you get all disappointed because the kidnapper is not that kidnapper you thought it would be. Sometimes, that's really really really irritating. But I guess some authors want to have the kidnapper as the one who you least think would be the bad guy. You know, to disappoint all your guesses!<br /><br />I think this is a good mystery book except for the ending. But I'm sure to keep that in mind before reading. Nice review, Hannah! :)franchie15noreply@blogger.com
