Cassie HaleIndianapolis, INAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Taken: A ReviewJune 28, 2015Cassie HaleIndianapolis, INAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Hang on, friends! Taken, by Dee Henderson, is her newest action-packed, intelligently written offering to the world of fiction crime novels. This book does not disappoint! It digs deep into the psychology of victims of abduction/assault, and the difficulties they face after freedom trying to acclimate to a society that has been, for the most part, absent from their lives. The man or woman freed must learn to operate within this society while at the same time dealing with the hurt, fear, psychological torments endured at the hands of their captors.
You will meet two lovely main characters in this book that made me long for more, as well as a whole host of supporting characters with deep storylines all their own. Private investigator, Matthew Dane, experienced the restoration of a lost child and is intentionally sought out by the one who found her freedom, Shannon Bliss. Theirs is a story of healing, transformation, deep friendship, trust, and abiding companionship.
I anxiously await the next chapter . . . -

TellNJasmineMontanaAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Riveting suspense from Dee HendersonJuly 15, 2015TellNJasmineMontanaAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 4Meets Expectations: 5It's been quite awhile since I've read a Dee Henderson book, I think the last one was Before I Wake. I've always enjoyed her books and Taken sounded quite intriguing so I decided to give it a read. Taken wasn't exactly what I expected, it was more psychological drama instead of action drama, but I really enjoyed it. Some of Dee Henderson's newish books have been a little harder for me to get into than, say, the O'Malley series, but this one was different. I expected to take a few days reading the 420+ pages but instead finished it in a single day. I just couldn't seem to put it down, I was so totally absorbed in the story.
I really enjoyed how Taken leads the reader through the events, ramifications, and emotional journey of the return of a kidnapped girl. Instead of being about the search for a missing girl and ending with a joyous reunion, Taken is the story of what happens after, what the first days are like, all of the messy thoughts and feelings, the emotional adjustment for everyone involved. Life, especially after a seriously traumatic event isn't always clear-cut. People's thoughts, emotions, and motivations are a truly tangled web. Dee Henderson has a real knack for answering and asking questions readers may not have even thought of before.
Another plus is the very dramatic cover that the Bethany House team gave this book. It really matches the story and I can easily say that it is going to be one of my favorites from 2015.
Fascinating, emotionally intense, Dee Henderson's latest is definitely a riveting story and it's one you really won't want to miss.
(I received a copy of this book from Bethany House in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are entirely my own.) -
