Description
YOUR ABDUCTED CHILD IS MIRACULOUSLY RETURNED. TOO BAD HE'S NO LONGER THE SAME.
Stay-at-home mom Yvonne Landis enters her kitchen one day to meet a huge surprise: seated on a chair is her son, Gabe. He went missing when he was ten years old, more than three years ago. It turns out he was abducted by pedophiles who tortured him and forced him to make horrific pornos. Extremely traumatized, he acts strangely and barely speaks. Yvonne is determined to heal Gabe. He'll stay at home and work daily with a trauma therapist. Her husband Ben is not completely on board with that idea, especially since Gabe stabbed him with a fork shortly after they were reunited. Then disturbing things happen to their younger son, 9-year old Joseph, and Gabe may be behind those too...
NOTE: THE LOST BOY is the first book in the Child Trilogy, which is the prequel to the Cuckoo Series and the Club Nirvana Series.
Reviews
Suspend reality for this one
2By PearlHazelThis story was so convoluted and extremely unlikely by the end that I was angry at myself for sticking with it. Characters were introduced and then forgotten, and the countless number of unnecessary details just added to the length of the story, which could have been cut by at least half. They added nothing except word count. I take that back, they added boredom so I found myself skipping ahead rather than plowing through them. I give the book 1-1/2 stars strictly for the author’s effort.The Lost Boy reviews by the lost reader
3By lakeside lazyThis book left me bit confused as I guess it was supposed to. The whodunit that left me wondering whodunnit it. Who is the crazy one? Not sure I like it, as I don’t like cliffhangers at all. I certainly can see how it could lead to more in the series. I just don’t want to read them.Good Grief
1By MagnamommaStill have a headache from rolling my eyes reading this dreck. I would normally stop reading a book this bad but I wanted to see if it could get worse. It did. The character Yvonne is an unbelievable mess. I read this book for free and still believe I paid too much.
