I love love when I get feedback from my readers. Whether it be an email telling me that they bought something I posted or a photo of a recipe from the blog or a recommendation. I LOVE recommendations!!! A reader sent me an email telling me that this week’s book club choice, The Chain by Adrian McKinty is “THE summer read”. It’s is a little more intense than I usually read but it sounds soooo good…here is the summary:
YOUR PHONE RINGS.
A STRANGER HAS KIDNAPPED YOUR CHILD.
TO FREE THEM YOU MUST ABDUCT SOMEONE ELSE’S CHILD.
YOUR CHILD WILL BE RELEASED WHEN YOUR VICTIM’S PARENTS KIDNAP ANOTHER CHILD.
IF ANY OF THESE THINGS DON’T HAPPEN:
YOUR CHILD WILL BE KILLED.
YOU ARE NOW PART OF THE CHAIN
