Gone Missing
WITHOUT A TRACE As a skip tracer in training, Joslyn Dimalanta knows she has the skills to track down her missing friend. As long as her friend's startlingly handsome brother, Clay Ashton, doesn't distract her. But then his sister's house detonates-almost killing Clay and Joslyn. Now they realize the harsh reality: they must either find the person after Clay's sister, or face deadly consequences. And the closer they get to exposing the source of the crimes, the more explosive surprises they discover. With every obstacle they overcome, Joslyn finds herself relying on Clay more and more. Still, the peril they face scares her less than the idea of trusting Clay with her wounded heart.

SUMMARY: As a skip tracer in training, Joslyn Dimalanta knows she has the skills to track down her missing friend. As long as her friend's startlingly handsome brother, Clay Ashton, doesn't distract her. But then his sister's house detonates—almost killing Clay and Joslyn. Now they realize the harsh reality: they must either find the person after Clay's sister, or face deadly consequences.

REVIEW: This final book in the Sonoma mystery series will capture your attention from beginning to end. I truly hated to see this series end as I really enjoyed the characters throughout this series and their strong interconnections. Joslyn and Clay both came from abusive pasts whether physical or verbal. They had both made wrong choices. But the strength they gained as a team trying to find Clay's half-sister, Fiona, made them each realize that God did give second chances and that they were stronger than they each believed. This book is fast-paced, thrill-a-minute action with a faith element threaded throughout. It's theme of hurting people learning to trust God and each other was a point all of us need to remember. Definitely a great faith based suspense filled with a touch of romance. Well done Camy Tang!
FAVORITE QUOTES: "Love covers a multitude of sins." (1 Peter 4:8)
"You paid your debt. It's in the past."
"God would continue to take care of the two of them, to create something good out of the pain of their pasts. She only had to surrender to God. To love."

Gone Missing is by Camy Tang.
Joslyn Dimalanta has come to her friend’s home in Phoenix. Fiona Crowley had sent her a postcard saying she was in trouble. As a skip tracer, Joslyn hoped to find some clues in Phoenix that will tell her where Fiona is. However, she had not planned on running into Fiona’s brother, Clay. Nor did she anticipate her attraction to him.
Clay was Fiona’s half-brother. When his mother and Fiona’s father split, Fiona stayed with her father and Clay was forced to go with his mother. Fiona’s father cared only for money and his blood line. Therefore, Fiona was important but Clay wasn’t. Clay has just returned from serving a two year prison sentence for theft when he receives a phone call from Fiona saying she needs his help.
It has taken both Joslyn and Clay three weeks to locate Fiona’s address and to arrive in Phoenix. Ironically they show up at Fiona’s at the same time. Luckily for Joslyn they did. When they opened the back door to the house, Clay noticed a tripwire and threw Joslyn to the ground and covered her as an explosion ripped through the door. Why, if Fiona is gone, did someone rig her house to blow? What is going on? Is Fiona alive and in hiding or what? Why are they after Joslyn and Clay now?
It is a good book and one that kept me interested; but it wasn’t anything special.

Gone Missing by Camy Tang. Number 6 of the Sonoma series. I liked it that you could read this book without having to read the other ones. It was a romance suspense and the ending was in this book. Don't have to wait to read the next book in the series. I like books like this. The characters from the other books were in this book. It brought all the characters together, but still focused on the main characters in this book. Joslyn Dimalanta is a "skip tracer". She is looking for Fiona, the sister of Clay Ashton. Clay use to work for the mob. He ended up in prison. He is out of prison now and trying to put that life behind him. When he gets a phone call from his sister, Fiona, asking for help when the line went dead. While looking for Fiona is when Clay meets Joslyn. They work together trying to find Fiona. Several times they are almost killed while looking for Fiona. Two bad guys are determined to stop them from looking for Fiona. Lots of suspense. A very good read.

This author certainly knows how to write a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The story had me pulled into the story line from the first pages and I read it in one setting because i couldn't put it down. It is also a wonderful story of hurting people learning to trust God and each other as they go from one dangerous situation to the next. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good combination of faith based suspense and romance.

Camy Tang drew me into this suspense thriller from the first page; as always, she keeps you hooked until the very end. I enjoyed the characters in the story, and I didn't fully foresee all of the twists and turns that happened. The spiritual element of the book is, in my opinion, perfectly done. It is an integral part of the story, but yet isn't overdone. If you like inspirational suspense, I highly recommend this one!

If you want to a read a fast pace, adrenaline pumping romance then read " Gone Missing" by Camy Tang.
I loved the characters of Joslyn and Clay and how Clay was so protective of Joslyn.
1 Peter 4:8 is a theme throughout the book and this helped Clay find his way back to God.
Great Book, keep up the good work Camy and I look forward to the next book.

In all honestly, I dove into this book expecting a quick and easy read. I fell in love with the two main characters and could not seem to put the book down. Although, I'm not a very religious person and I saw a majority of that towards the end which ruined the book for me.

Maybe 3 1/2. Better than average.

First Book I've Read from this Author
I only read this book because the beginning was featured in a book by one of my favorite authors. It was full of mystery and suspense. I didn't realize this was by a Christian author until I was over 60-some percent through the book. Them it had great messages of forgiveness, self-worth because of God, and peace only He can give.

I rate novels on whether I would like to re-read it in the future. Its fast-paced and this book has just the right amount of romance. I like that every chapter has action scenes that would put me on edge and kept me hooked. Camy Tang also included God in their lives, so that's a plus.
