Review: Taken

Taken by Dee Henderson
My rating: 💛💛

Rating 2.5

I really wanted to like this story more than what I had.

I became a fan of Dee Henderson after reading the O’Malley series, which to date, is still one of the best suspense series I have read. But the downside is that I expect similar writing from the author’s other books.

Though this was an intriguing mystery, for me it missed the suspenseful, nail-biting chemistry and interaction between the characters, not only the two leads, but between the characters and the suspense/culprit as well.
