It could be your child
Highly recommended as a great follow up to the Not My Child series. I appreciated the recap of the series going into this book. I felt like Sereniti should have shared with her son what was going on, especially since he asked so many times and he was at that curious age. Computers aren't the only way kids can meet strangers online- phones and gaming systems can work as well. Parents, school your children regarding online safety.
Lady Lissa did an awesome job bringing awareness to child trafficking. Teenagers and kids of appropriate age should read this entire series.

I wanted to choke Tyriq or Carlos
Juan or Tyriq or whatever is name is still didn’t learn his lesson 19 years ago he did all this to get back at Serenity it goes to show that prison made him even more revengeful to hurt the young ladies that he kidnap I’m glad he was killed now Serenity and her friends can live peace without worrying about f boy Juan Carlos. I wish Serenity would of been honest with Jordan about her childhood so he can understand why his mother is so protective and I’m also happy that Tyriq son is a better version of him I enjoyed this book hopefully we can get more readings or more books about Detective Taylor

LOVED IT
This was a great follow up to the Not My Child series. Some people never change and Tyriq just didn't learn his lesson but he definitely got what he deserved along with Ryan. Ryan should've stuck by his first decision and not get involved with Tyriq. Sereniti was lucky she got her son back. Things would've been much different had she just talked to him about her past considering he was the same age at the time of her incident. Goes to show how important it is for parents to be thoroughly involved in their children's lives. Great job on another book providing awareness of the times we are living in today.

Informative
Good read with a lot of helpful information for parents with children with social media accounts, computers, and smartphones. Seriniti was kidnapped at a young age by a guy online claiming his love for her, being young and naive she fell for it, and it almost cost her her life. 19 years later and she’s going through the same nightmare but with a totally different outcome..

My least favorite of the series
It was nice catching up on Serenity’s and her family’s life. Strangely, I liked Juan Carlos’ reappearance because it added drama. However, I wanted to know more about how Juan got everything in motion, and what prompted his partner to go along for the ride. Tori had scenes so I had hoped more would’ve came of it, when it didn’t, that was disappointing. At the end, I wished Juan Carlos and Travis had their own chapters to gain their perspectives.

Karma is something else!
You would’ve thought that prison would change a person, but that was definitely not the case with Juan/Tariq and his cohort. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out for them. I really enjoyed reading this book and it picked right up from where the series ended. Very well written and I would recommend this book to read (only after reading the series).

Justice
Wow what a way to end a great series! I was disappointed in Serenit for not telling her son Travis about what was going on. She was blessed that her husband and her father was able to find him in time. This issue is so real in the world, I hope the children pay attention. Great job

Again really...
So after all that happened in the other two I was like no. When her husband said he was selling a house with all those rooms I was like more traffickers. Where does it end but I'm glad it ended how it did had me sweating and ready to cry again. Awesome job as usual.

Excellent Read!!
This finale had ne in my heels!! I couldn't stop reading until I found out what happened to Travis and was grateful he was found. Definitely life lesson learned! Hope teenagers would read books like this so they would be encouraged not to want to grow up so fast! May God continue to bless your ministry in writing!

Very good book
This book was very good and educational and I think every young kid should read it. Human trafficking is real and we need to educate the youth on it. I will recommend this book to any and every one to read. You did a great job again on part 3! You get 10 stars in my eyes!❤️

Nope
Sereniti gets on my nerves. After all she went through you would think she would talk to her son about her ordeal and all the danger of talking to strangers online. If she had her son would not have been kidnapped and sold off. Old dumb Bish. I hate people who keep secrets that can mean life or death.

Great read
This was a great ending to the series. I would have thought Sereniti would have learned a lesson from what happened to her but she had to learn the hard way. This book is definitely worth the read.

This was so good a wonderful follow up. The teens are all grown up now. I love a good follow up story to see how the characters are doing. This book although a follow up was filled with so much drama.

Loved it
I’m so glad that Tyriq is gone because that was really messed up how he tried to sell Travis off. It’s a good thing they were able to find the kids before be shipped to Saudi Arabia.

Great Series!! Sereniti had to relive her worst nightmare. It’s best to let your kids know how there are many sick individuals in this world. Travis learned a valuable lesson . As for Tyric he got what he deserved

OMGee this was an awesome read
This was a gripping finale. Just when you think Sereniti was going to have an ok life. I just wish she hadn't hidden that information from her son and saved a whole lot of sadness and tears. I highly recommend this gifted authoress to everyone who reads.

Whew Chile
That was a close call. You would think with them having to serve so many years in prison - that they would get it together. Human trafficking is real and dangerous. Folks pay attention to you kids....

WOW!!!!!!
Children will never learn. Listening to your parents can be a good thing. Being a little behind your friends does not make you less a part of the group. All I can say is follow your mind not your heart.

Good sequel.
I wish Tyriq would have got a chance to meet his son in between his second round of scheming. Even to see Tyriq's fathers reaction as well.

It's can't be my child
It was a good read and a page turner. The one thing I learned is we cannot keep things in the past from our children without consequences.

Good but predictable
It was a quick, easy read. And having read the first series, Not My Child, this book was very predictable. You knew the what but just not the how.
