“The Target” is Mr. Bowerbank’s foray into Young Adult fiction, and he doesn’t disappoint. Fans of the Baneridge trilogy will be happy to get to know Alyssa, Mary and Malcolm’s teenaged daughter. However, “The Target” is a stand-alone novel. The trilogy is good background but it’s not required to enjoy Alyssa’s plight.
Bowerbank immediately immerses the reader in a fast-paced action/kidnaping, leaving the reader to guess who the good guys are. In true Bowerbank fashion, the characters are well-written and flawed, making them relatable... and most of them are loveable.
While the ending is satisfying, it provides the hope of future books. These characters are too good not to be heard from again.
“The Target” is a quick and entertaining read, YA to adult. Highly recommended!
