Surviving Midas

by RW Hague

As a daughter of an FBI agent, Katie knows the basics of child abduction don't talk to strangers, don't get into a car with anyone you don't know, and don't piss off Midas. But Dad broke the last rule, and now Katie is left to pay for it. Just days after her fifteenth birthday, Katie is taken by Midas, the most elusive and efficient kidnapper the FBI has ever seen. None of Midas's victims have ever been found dead or alive, and it does not take long for Katie to find out why. Midas dumps Katie into a compound filled with his other 'trophies, ' children he has kidnapped, ransomed, and abandoned to the elements. The thin green armband around Katie's wrist separates her from the other kids, marking her as valuable, but once Midas is through extorting Katie's father, she will become as expendable as the others. Katie now has to choose whether to merely survive or risk her life trying to escape.

OMG the best read I have had for a long time

This is one of those books which takes you on an emotional rollercoaster... its gripping, raw, funny in places - chilling in others & devastating. When I read books like this I cant help but think that the writer shines a light on humanities darkest moments- drags them out and says "now read this & remember it's not all fiction".

This wasn’t the book I expected but it turned out to be a good totally addictive read.
Firstly I didn’t realise it was a series. That’s totally on me I should have checked.
When I say it wasn’t what I expected. From the blurb I expected more from Katie. Maybe unrealistically so.
But it turned out to be compulsive reading and it’s straight onto the next one for me now. Well it was until I realised it’s not on KU 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wow what a book I just couldn't put it down!

I didn't know what to expect when starting this book and what a wild ride it was. What amazing twists and turns. I couldn't recommend more highly!

What a ride. I simply couldn’t put this down. It’s scary in that this could and probably does happen. Loved the characters and style of writing. Can’t wait to start book 2 in the series. Highly recommended.

Scary! ! !

How do you know who to believe? When the government is involved. Who do you trust? Why ? Greed is a reason!

Not going to lie, I started these books to humor my friend who knew the author and loved them. Within 50 pages, however, I was HOOKED. Finished the whole series in three days.
