Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 3, 2013
I was really baffled when I first started to read Taken By Surprise.  Five young people were kidnapped and forced into a holding area.  Then I started to think about why, and I figured the one thing in common between them is that they all had paranormal abilities.  The suspicious issue is each one of them had attempt on their life prior to the kidnapping.I liked all the characters.  Each had a story to tell.  Some stories more sad than others.  My favorite characters were Charlie and Zoe.  I was really rooting for them.A little after 1/3 of the book, things started to click.  I could understand the gift each person was given and why people wanted to abuse their gift.The story plot flows smoothly.  It starts out with a mystery when Zoe has one of her future telling dreams.  She knows something bad is going to happen.Jessica Frances composes the characters' definition very well.  I felt like I could understand the character, and how they handled their own gifts didn't seem over the top.This has been one story that I enjoyed reading, and I look forward to reading more in her series.
