First, the plot is well summed up in the.. Well, plot summary of this page. So I am not going to delve into what it's about exactly.I am very often pleased with the things McElhaney puts on the table for us to read. One of my favorite series is the Mystic Saga, and Mommy's Choice remains a haunting and memorable novel for me. However, I guess the "theme" just didn't hit home for me here. It wasn't any part of the author really, just didn't connect for me.The story was fairly tightly wound and the plot was interesting. However, it was too short for me to really get to know the characters. Yes, I know that Mr. McElhaney stated his reasons for making it short, but I think getting to know the characters would have helped my liking for this a lot more. Not a ton longer, but enough so maybe we could get to know John before the hostage situation? Maybe nothing really about his past exactly, but his person.Anyway, more or less, I liked it and I definitely don't feel like I wasted my time or anything. It was a solid fairly decent book.
