Anyone ever hear of a Editor?!? This book was full of grammatical errors, duplicated sentences, bad spelling. All that aside, this book was touted as the exciting conclusion of Book 1, yet it did not make ANY sort of reference to the case of the missing girl, April. Seems thrown together haphazardly, with additional vulgar language and gory details of killings added because of a lack of creativity on the writer's part. I will not be reading any of his other books, nor recommending him to anyone.

I read book 0 and had to download book 1 to find out what happens next then I found I had to download this one to finish the story. I am not a fan of books that are published as stand alone books that are actually one book split into 3 parts. I have Kindle unlimited so it didn't cost anything to read all 3 but I would not have paid for this book. I speed read this book to find out what happened and I found it a bit predictable and far fetched. There are also numerous errors and typos which I might expect in the first book but would expect the third book to have been better proof read. I wont be reading any more by this author.

Great read

I simply could not stop reading. I down loaded the next book as soon as I could. There are a few repeats but easy to get by. Recommending this book to everyone that !oves a good mystery series. It takes ahold of you and won't let go til the end!

The conclusion

While it was nice being able to see the story to its conclusion I was disappointed in the last book. The story felt rushed and in some instances the characters behaviors were unbelievable. For instance, why would the main character go off without backup after all she has been thru, especially knowing she is all her daughter has left? It also felt as if the author was developing a connection between the main character and an old time friend but you are left hanging as to what that was all about. On the other hand, I appreciated the fact that the main characters rescue wasn't dependent on a knight in shining armor. Overall I felt the final book was worth reading.

I can forgive a few mistakes within a book...what I can't forgive is no one following through with actual proof reading. Making the mistake of characters names is a big issue for me, as well as saying on the same page, one person was driving, then another person who was a passenger was behind the wheel. And although I enjoyed the characters and the way the book went, the lead character was a bit stupid and arrogant to fall for the same thing over again instead of learning from her mistake in the first book. I see there is another book in this series, and I am sad to say I probably won't read it.

Didn't live upto the expectations created by its first 2 novels. Story in this part of the series had some situations which were completely incongruous to the core of the novel, after getting burnt in an explosion the psycho kidnapper hears a voice he thought didn't belong to the living and that causes him to muster his strength and exact revenge on everyone who did wrong to him, at the end he started showing weaknesses, showing feelings for his adversary, etc. made the already predictable plot a little boring.

The weird repetitive phrasing is weird and repetitive. Also a police sergeant's lack of knowledge in how abduction cases are handled and how AMBER alerts work is driving me batty. There's no such thing as waiting 24 hours to report someone missing, and the concept that a missing child "isn't really missing" for 24 hours is absurd. It's a relatively good story, but this author really needs an editor and to do a little research.

Good

I thought the first two were better myself. I expected this one to take up where the first one left off but it did not. So is that little girl still missing? And did this guy take her, unanswered questions.

Suspenseful read for sure.

Did not care for some of the language but was an interesting read. Kept you on edge wondering what would happen next. Some parts were a bit unrealistic but interesting read.

A thriller for sure

I don't read much fiction but I was hooked on this series. I was on edge wondering what was going to happen next. I also liked their way the author switched back and forth between the present day and the past.

This final episode of the Abducted series was a major disappointment. Even from the start, having the wrong character's names used in the improper contexts, excessive grammatical and spelling errors, and an unbelievable storyline made this an almost unbearable read.

Excellent writing and story telling.

Excellent Writing. This book is edge of your seat exciting. With great twisted and surprises you don’t really know what will happen next. Thank you for a good read. Even if the subject matter is not good, the good wins in the end!!!

Very Engaging

I don’t read very often, but when I do these are the kind of stories. Fast paced and not too drawn out. Only complete is that the proofreading is not that great. Words left out or not put in.

This book had some egregious spelling and grammar errors. The book felt rushed. Decent story, decent end to the story line, but it needs to be purused by the editor one more time.

The story was fantastic

The story was great. I don’t know who proofread this book. But, there were quite a few more mistakes in this one. Which was really disappointing.

Really good book!


Very suspenseful. Couldn't stop reading! The heroine is strong and confident and yet easy to relate to as a mother.

I liked these books but the scenes were repetitive. It was the same things that kept happening in both books.

Even the Score

As Phillip was escaping from the Fed's, the boat driver set off explosions that hit Phillip as he dived into the water. After a long search the agents thought that he must be dead. Agent Miriam wasn't so sure. She quit her job and took her daughter and moved to Arizona for a fresh start. She got a job as an detective and when the congressman's daughter was kidnapped she had a hunch. The more that she found, the more suspicious she became. Now, they found out that he didn't die and he had new victims.

Great story

I loved this book. The only complaint is that there are many places in this story where the words are spelled wrong or the sentence repeats itself, or a number of other easily fixed errors that the proof readers didn't catch. They didn't really take away from the story, but did make me stop and re read that section again to understand what was being said. That being said, this is a great series and I hope to start on the next one soon.

The Abducted:..Vengeance BOOK 2

The story ends as all stories must but as the reader I am left wanting more. How do the characters cope with what they have been through and what happens to their lives ? Does good always triumph over evil without leaving residual ? Good suspense for readers like me who enjoy being scared when the novel could be about a real situation.

Sergeant Miriam Castillo is obsessed with catching child predator Phillip Anderson. They all believe he was killed in a boat explosion until another girl comes up missing in Arizona where Miriam has moved to start a new life with her daughter. Just when she thinks she is closing in he becomes obsessed with Miriam and the tables are turned.

The Abducted box set

Excellent story and aside from it needing some proofreading and a little editing, it is a non stop page turner that I couldn't put down. I read all the books in three days because I had to know what happened. Love it when an author can take me into their world. Highly recommended
