One Among Us by Paige Dearth (Review)

One Among Us By Paige Dearth
5/5

I'm reviewing this for NetGalley

Possible minor spoilers.

This book was a bit different than her previous two that I read. A young girl named Maggie wasn't abused by her parents at all. Her parents loved her,but she was taken. Taken from a shopping mall one day after wanted to prove she could do something by herself. It would turn every parents worst nightmare come true. (I myself am not a parent yet,but I can only imagine what loosing a child would be like.) Maggie was forced into a van and taken far away. Forced into human  trafficking. It was sad reading,I kept wondering how long would she be missing for. I was praying it would only be a few days. Days turned to weeks,weeks then turned to months.Months to years,it never ended. With tragedy striking here and there you can only hope. I won't say anymore because you just have to read to find out for yourself. I will say it had a bittersweet ending, similar to 'Believe like a Child'. If you want to read any of Ms. Dearth's books,but aren't sure due to the graphic content and subject matter I would start with this one. I would say it's the tamest of them all. I read them in reverse order,but they are not a series. They all have similar locations,and some reoccurring characters,and some may overlap,but it doesn't effect the stories. I am looking forward to more of what Ms. Dearth has in store for us next.  

Brimstone

"Brimstone" by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
4/5 stars

Another great mystery with twists around every corner. Pendergast is back and so is D'Agosta this time solving a murder on Long Island. While more keep occurring solving these bizarre deaths isn't going to be easy.
Diogenes, Aloysius's evil brother is introduced. He only makes a brief appearance, but I was still excited, the ending was nail biting.
I cannot wait to read the 6th book in the series "Dance of Death" I really like the Pendergast novels, some of the best books I've read in a long time. 




Next I'm reading "Love Wins: a book about heaven, hell, and the fate of every person who ever lived"  by Rob Bell


and 
"Never Knowing" by Chevy Stevens
