Review: This Book Caused Us to Miss Our Exit!

Recently, my husband and I took a road trip and the travel time was 4 hours each way.  We usually use this time as an opportunity to read and for the trip I choose the new Elizabeth Loraine, Phantom Lives - Power, since we liked the previous book Collier so much.  We both really enjoyed this story line, so much so that we missed our exit and were forced to drive 60 miles out of the way to get home.  That mistake would have normally filled the interior of the car with off color language, however, to my surprise, my husband shrugged and joked it would "just" give us more time to read. In fact, after an extra hour of drive time, when we finally pulled into the driveway, we sat in the car to finish the last chapter. Our neighbor who saw us arrive was worried when we didn't get out of the car and came over to see if we were all right.  After twenty more minutes, we were finished and were even a little sad that it was we'd reached the end. In Power, Lorraine reintroduces the characters from the previous Collier and brings in new ones. One of the new characters was a rugged, special forces type and using that character incorporated lots of action/adverture into the story line. The plot had unexpected twists and the book made the our trip just zip by.  It was great travel book to aloud. Thank you for making an otherwise boring drive into an adventure. We look forward to another book in this series.
