Snatched
What would you do if you kept having recurring dreams about a family that’s not yours? Lacey Kikelomo has never felt as if she belongs. She wakes up everyday living in a squalid trailer secluded in the woods with no one but her mom and little sister to keep her company. She has no friends, no real sense of freedom and her mom controls her every move. Her only escape from abuse and loneliness is an armful of books, DVDs, and a sweetly recurring dream about a loving family she’s never met but secretly wishes she was a part of. Lacey knows her mom is hiding something from her but can’t figure out what. When her 13th birthday comes around, she’s given the surprise of her life which leaves Lacey questioning her mom’s sanity and whether or not she’s truly who she claims to be. *** Lily Bleu-Monroe has been searching for her missing daughter, Nadia, for the past 8 years. Memories of the last moment she saw her daughter terrorize her every waking moment. Consumed with protecting her remaining children at home and searching for Nadia, Lily drives away the only man she’s ever loved. No one believes that her daughter is still alive. Everyone thinks Lily’s crazy, even her husband. Resentment builds, tensions rise, but her hope in miracles never die. Lily will stop at nothing to ensure the happiness of her children and finally bring her daughter home where she rightfully belongs. But what happens when searching for her daughter uncovers a crime that’s been buried for years?

Captivating!
This book was an absolute tear-jerker! It tells the story of Lacey, who is always dreaming about the family she wishes she had. Snatched by Letresa Renee is a thrilling ride that is both heartbreaking and yet ultimately uplifting!

Whoa!
I truly enjoyed this story. I was wondering why this lady was snatching kids & then turns out they were all from the same neighborhood. I didn't realize it till the end of course but definitely knew she was crazy. Some of the things in the story will make you wonder how these parents don't see this woman roaming around. Especially the way they described her in her appearance. You can't miss her! Then later, the ending...sheesh! But I caught that (not THAT) when her parents said something & disowned her for marrying her husband!

Unreal
This story is so twisted! After reading the book "Margo" I just knew, hoped and prayed for a sequel and I found it here in Snatched".
The story is so convoluted you can't stop reading.
Kidnapping peoples children is just the most awful thing you can do to them! And when the fallout comes all you can do is shake your head in disbelief
Although the story hasn't come full circle yet I'm quite sure more bombs will be dropped.
Everybody should be careful how they move because v there's always someone watching.
In this book this crazy lady is kidnapping kids left and right and raising them as her own. The abuse that she pounds on them is uncalled for . They were all at extremely vulnerable ages upon being taken so its harder for them yo understand what's going on. Thankfully the old bat was getting sick and needed to relocate. That gave one little girl the courage to seek answers. Oh boy did she find them!
Now when we thought it was all over, we get smacked in the face with continuing madness.
Going to read "Snatched 2" today!!

Suspenseful and unsettling. As I read the child abuse inflicted on three young children by a sadistic, vengeful and unstable kidnapper, I cringed. The ending was somewhat predictable, but this was not a deterrent in holding my interest.
The story is fast-moving, and I was drawn into it from the beginning. There were parts of the narrative where the author overstated the obvious rather than allowing the reader to extrapolate the character's perspective. Also, relative to the buildup throughout the book, the closure was a little too swift. But, overall, I thought the story was captivating.

This reminded me of those old Lifetime movies regarding kids being abducted and I enjoyed every moment of it
This story has me intrigued from the synopsis. It was well written to where you felt as if you were watching the story unfold right in front of you. The determination of Lacey is what sucked you in the most. That end has me shook though and I hope there is a part 2!!

beautiful touching story
Sometimes I can predict where the storyline is headed and as I read I was right about some of it. The ending totally blew me away. It took me about three hours to read because I couldn't put it down. It's also a rather short book but it was just the perfect length for this story. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Sheesh.... that was Dark, but good!
I wasn't sure what to expect when I downloaded this book. It is a slow starter, but once it's going, its wild. The psychological tropes and triggers were vast and touched on so much in such a short read. The reveal to wrap it up was icing on the cake.

Good read!
This was an interesting read! It was well written, but for me, it dragged and picked up about halfway through the read. I definitely wasn't expecting that twist at the end. I look forward to reading pt 2 to see how things unfold!

A real page turner!
This book had me in a choke hold from the first page right up until the last sentence! It's written in such a way that you can't help but come up with your own theories as you read. You will not be prepared for the ending, but don't worry there's a part two!

Thriller
I was scared this book was going to be filled with trauma but it turned into a thriller. I'm very pleased with this book and will continue to book 2.

This book took me through it. My heart went out to Lacey and Amber. They were not only snatched from their biological family, but they were also traumatized by their kidnapper. That woman did those babies wrong. The kidnapper was the definition of needing to be in a padded room with no chance of getting out. There were some many twists and turns in this book. I was not expecting any of them. That ending, though, mindblown. This author did an amazing job. I'm excited to dive into book 2.
