Book Review of Taken In
Synopsis
When an impromptu meeting with Gail’s drug dealer ex ends in
his murder at the hands of a ruthless hit man, she’s picked up by Jason, a U.S.
Marshal, for her own safety. Before he can get her into protective custody,
their car swerves off the road and they narrowly escape conflagration. Injured
and on foot, they flee to the mysterious Dagon House, where they recuperate and
wait for Jason’s agency to come pick them up.
Unbeknownst to them, Dagon House has secrets and so do their
hosts. During the course of their impromptu investigation, Gail and Jason are
forced to confront their preconceptions about the afterlife, and about each
other.
Meanwhile, the hit man who shot Gail’s ex in cold blood
tracks them to Dagon House and bides his time, waiting for the opportunity to
finish tying off loose ends.
Review
Toombs plunges the reader into the action right away, and
keeps it coming all the way to the last page. Gail is a likeable protagonist
and her burgeoning romance with Jason is believable and entertaining to watch
unfold.
I’ll admit, I had no idea where the story was going. At
first, I thought it’d be a cat-and-mouse game between
Gail and the hit man. Then, I thought it was going to be a romance kind of
deal. By the end, I was intrigued by the paranormal mystery aspect of the story
and couldn’t wait to see what happened.
Taken In is a fun read through and through, infused with rich
detail and unexpected twists and turns. It’s proof that sometimes help can come
from the most unexpected places.
