Here and Gone

by Haylen Beck

"Here and Gone is a gripping, wonderfully tense suspense thriller about a mother's desperate fight to recover her stolen children from corrupt authorities. It begins with a woman fleeing through Arizona with her kids in tow, trying to escape an abusive marriage. When she's pulled over by an unsettling local sheriff, things soon go awry and she is taken into custody. Only when she gets to the station, her kids are gone. And then the cops start saying they never saw any kids with her, that if they're gone than she must have done something with them . . . . Meanwhile, halfway across the country a man hears the frenzied news reports about the missing kids, which are eerily similar to events in his own past. As the clock ticks down on the search for the lost children, he too is drawn into the desperate fight for their return" --

Reviews

I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for a review.

"Here and Gone" was one of those books that, upon reading the first few pages, I fell into with ease. My only big complaint is his diction and the lack of proper sentence structure—I prefer stories with proper clauses and grammar and punctuation over those with commas wherein an "and" should be placed. I don't find that sort of writing "quirky" or "easy to read"; I find it complicated and hesitant and weak.
