Description: Who knew that a love of short ribs could get one character into so much trouble? But when an angry Nailah throws a short rib at a group of dangerous bikers, the person she hits, Dele -- who just so happens to be an undercover cop disguised as one them -- is forced to kidnap her. Now all he has to do is figure out how to keep both of them alive and solve the case.The Good: I bought this, no sample needed, because Sharon Cullars has proven herself to be an amazing storyteller with a strong writing voice. The stakes are extremely high -- I mean through the roof. Just when you think they're as high as they can go, they jump up another level. This makes SNATCHED a burning page-turner, which will keep you on the edge of your seat. I couldn't read it fast enough.The Bad: As a character, Nailah is like a bad episode of "when keeping it real goes wrong." Though I eventually came to accept her throwing a rib at a biker in a moment of pique, her continued hotheadness in the face of true danger made her frustrating and hard to root for at times. And though her complete inability to follow instructions or keep her mouth shut at crucial moments, eventually comes in handy in the overall story arc, it flatlines the heroine's own arc.The Naughty: Sensual. Sex in a hostage situation. Implied rape.Editing issues: N/APublisher: IndieLength: 129 pagesFinal Grade: BHappy Reading,Theodora from irbookreviews.com
