panReads like a book whose premise may have been heavily workshopped. Opening chapters were promising. Then the whole story gets muddled with cheesy dialogue and ridiculous plot points. I finished the book just moments ago and I can‘t summarize the resolution because I don‘t care. I‘m actually a bit mad at myself for finishing this one. I should have moved on many hours ago.
pickYA thriller!! Eight years ago, Addie Webster was the victim of the most notorious kidnapping of the decade. Addie vanished-and her high-profile parents were forced to move on. Addie is returned but who can she really trust now?? #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

pickAn excellent YA suspense thriller. I thought this book was well written and very relevant to today's political and technological world we live in. As a middle school librarian I am excited to recommend this book to my students and look forward to some engaging conversations about the book.

From that day on, Darrow kept a red checker in his pocket. A chipped plastic talisman pressing against his leg, rough and cool beneath his fingers. Even as he got older, he carried the thing, endlessly clinging to a child's hope that someday-maybe someday, if he was good enough, strong enough, honorable enough-he'd get a do-over.
so-soI love YA with a political slant, and while this definitely had that, it felt too formulaic and it was hard to connect or empathize with the main character. Despite the cliffhanger ending, I don't think I'd read the next book (if there is one).
