By April Henry
Another dark and thought provoking tale by April Henry. This one is a new twist, still in the Portland Oregon area, but a whole new cast of heroes. Meet Katie (Cady) who comes to and does not know anything, not even her name. She quickly comes to the realization that she is being held against her wishes and the gentlemen who have her want her gone. One of her captors leave and one large man is supposed to dispose of her. But Katie, moving on instinct evades and injures her guard. She returns to the cabin, to seek clues as to her identity and grab supplies. She leaves in the unknown mans car, just hoping to get away from the cabin. Will she be able to figure out who she is, why they want her dead or just what is going on?
What follows is a daring escapade, where Cady, with help from a new friend, discovers her identity. But dare she believe all of the news stories is she a crazed drug addict who wants to end her own life? That is the image that the internet is putting out there. Even when all fingers are pointing at Cady for killing Officer Dillow, Ty sticks by her side, just knowing that she is lost and is in desperate need of help. Ty sticks by her side even when another adult appears to want to help Cady. He wants to finish what he began and make sure that Cady is safe and no longer in danger. The surprising twists in this book will keep you guessing and turning the page!
This is a fairly quick and entertaining read, with a lot of cliff hangers and interesting plot twists. It really highlights how much dependence we put on the internet and how tenuous our health could be. We always hear about possible epidemics or pandemics, but when you are the one that can stop it would you be able to step up and save the day, especially with out your memory? I am giving this book a 4 out of 5, it is a little mature and dark, and would say it is appropriate for ages eighth grade and up.
