“I really enjoyed it. At first, by halfway through to book, I was finding it a little predictable. But by 3/4's, I was at the edge of the couch! I became completely pissed at Clark and wanted to shoot "Dr. Cutler" myself. (Yes, when reading, I get totally involved - that's just me, lol!) I thought I knew exactly who it was, but when Seth was finding his way out, I knew it couldn't be Brad and Andrea behind it, but totally did not suspect Brad's ex-boss. The book was fast-past with a lot of emotion, enough great action to keep you at the edge of your seat. I cried at the end when Leah's family and the rest of the community arrived to help with the addition to the house. Like the Amish, I guess no one has an easy life, no matter how simple it may look to an 'outsider'. Every time a character used 'your people', it drove me nuts, but I guess that's how it is. I liked the 'closeness' the characters had with each other, and wish move novels had that same feel.
While reading the book, I got the sense that it was part of another story. Some of the characters, like Katie (Kat) for instance... the talk between characters was supposed to feel familiar somehow. After reading the story, I read what Karen wrote to explain some things with her story and found out that it is actually the third in the storyline of the Amish community. Darn it, lol, it looks like I've got two more novels to pick up! I've always liked a really good suspense novel, and the characters and series of events made it a really good read. Halfway through the novel, I got to wondering when Becca was going to be kidnapped, but then it happened and I actually felt the panic that Leah was feeling. Way to go, Karen, on another well written novel!”
