What lengths would you go to find your daughter if she was brutally kidnapped from you as an infant? I cant even begin to imagine the pain, the panic that would come from such an event.
Child of Mine has a fantastic premise and one I was curious to delve into. You think you have the book figured out about until about ¾ of the way through, but keep readingit has a fantastic twist at the end. Though at times I was wondering when I was going to stop being redirected from what I thought was my ultimate destination.
The book was about one hundred pages too long. I felt there were moments when the tension could have been seized and was left to dangle without a purpose. I will admit at this point of the book, much as I wanted to take my time to enjoy, I did skim.
Besides the one hundred too many pages, Natalie is a doll. Laura is the complex Amish nanny that I truly didnt figure out until closer to the end of the book. And secondary characters play well against the storys backdrop. I appreciated that the romance between Jack and Kelly felt natural without the usual drama surrounding the breakup and getting back together of the typical contemporary romance. (smile)
All in all the plot is attractive. The writing good. The pacing a bit slow, but still a good story. Solid three stars.
This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers for my copy to review.
