About the Book
A small town with a big problem. Caesar, an undercover operative, enters Carmichael with the briefest of orders from his boss, and a countdown on his phone. What will happen when the clock strikes zero? Deputy Amelia Miller’s dispatched from a nearby city, and a series of events keeps her around much longer than she’d expected. In the middle of the night, something shifts, and the whole town disappears off the face of the Earth. Who caused the Shift, and what lies beyond the veil of their settlement?
As the citizens grow braver, they begin to explore the mysterious borders while resisting the chaos within. TAKEN, the thrilling entry into the epic LOST TOWN series is full of suspense, science fiction, and adventure. From the best-selling author of The Other Place, Lost Contact, and First Life comes a genre-bending saga.

Gripping from the start
I was pulled in right away by strange, eerie setup of a town vanishing overnight . The mix of mystery, sci=fi , and suspense kept me guessing what was real until the very end.
Interesting!
I liked the idea behind the book.. It starts off really strong and grabs your attention right away. But as the story went on, I felt it slowed down a bit and some parts became a little predictable. The characters are okay, though I wished they had more depth or emotion to make me really care about them. Still, the writing is easy to follow, and the mystery kept me curious enough to finish. It’s a decent read overall, just not quite as intense or unique as I was hoping for.
Hooked from Chapter One!
This book had me turning pages like crazy. A creepy town, strange disappearances, and a mystery that keeps building — what more could you want? Loved the suspense, the pacing, and the cliffhanger ending. Already downloading book two!
