Wendy H. (donkeycheese) -
The second book in The Homelanders series finds Charlie West on the run. He woke up one morning, not remembering anything from the past year, finding himself the target of terrorist and police officials. One of Charlies friends has been murdered, and he is the prime suspect.
Charlie heads home to hopefully get some answers, and maybe some of his memory back. A thrilling adventure for adults and teens alike, THE LONG WAY HOME is an action-packed page-turner that manages to bring different messages to the reader.
THE LONG WAY HOME may be the second in the series, but it does stand alone. There are many flashbacks within the novel that catch the reader up with what happened in the previous work, THE LAST THING I REMEMBER. I look forward to reading more from this author, and so are my two teenagers.

What would you do if you woke up one morning and couldn't remember anything that happened to you in the past year? What if you realized you were wanted for murder and for being part of a terrorist group? What if that terrorist group wanted you dead?
This is what has happened to Charlie. Having no idea where else to turn up clues to his mysterious lost year, he returns to the most dangerous place - his hometown where it all started. There, the girlfriend and friends he doesn't remember decide to help him uncover the truth.
With the truth well-hidden and people wanting to erase his future, will Charlie be able to save himself and keep his friends safe at the same time? What really happened during the past year? One thing's for sure - life will never be the same for Charlie again.
Action-packed from start to finish, this page-turner will keep you glued to your seat. The story reads fast and the plot is intense. The characters are well-developed, and reluctant and avid readers alike will have a hard time putting THE LONG WAY HOME down. I would, however, recommend reading THE LAST THING I REMEMBER, the first book in the series, before starting this one.
