Where do the disappeared go? This novel “skillfully rips away the veneer of our civilized world and exposes a dark and secret one that lurks below our cities” (Julia North, author of Hear Me).

Freelance reporter Allen Kimbo wonders about the girls and women who vanish, seldom to resurface. He believes there’s a network of men who guard those who are taken—and keep the silence that surrounds and enables such deeds.

Now, despite his girlfriend Emily’s pleas to stay away, an email has lured Allen to Eastern Europe, to a meeting of the Takers and Keepers. In Belgrade, more is revealed than he had ever thought possible. But back home, Emily is missing . . .

Will Allen find the answers he is looking for, or will he discover that some questions should never be asked?

“A different take on a troubling topic.” —C. M. Thompson, author of What Lies in the Dark

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a favorite
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2023
Well written and full of descriptions yet a bit much. Seemed like a lot of pointless information at times which dragged on or storylines were left open. The book does not wrap up well at the end.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thought-provoking, gripping and pushes your comfort level
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2023
A thought provoking story about a topic many aren’t familiar with makes this relatively quick read something that may stay with you for a long time. As an extreme traveler (75% of year) I took part in a Human Trafficking Awareness Certification course and much of what I learned in that breaks away from the stereotypes of what human trafficking is, and is what the author built a realistic story around as well. As uncomfortable as it may make us as readers this is a book that should get more attention, that while fiction, raises awareness as well.

2.0 out of 5 stars It's alright.
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2023
I like the premise and I wanted to love it, but I ended up skimming through a bunch. Some of the stuff seems like it's rambling and I skipped it to find all the good parts.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quick and gripping
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2023
This is a short and very intense book. However, it is a little all over the place and I personally needed a little less of the side stories OR the story had to be better integrated and a little longer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Horrifying
Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2023
I received this book for free from Bloodhound Books.

This was a fictionalized account of a horrifying, all too real reality.

It was very dark.

I would give this five stars but I felt like the ending was too abrupt. Other than that, this was a very good and absorbing book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Keep an open mind
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2023
The writing is good. The book explains about a group called the takers. It tackles a question of what and why people go missing. You will think does this really happen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and thought-provoking.
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2023
This was a well-written crime novel that kept me invested and on the edge of my seat. I was reading it and felt like it was the real thing. The theme is not easy to read but it is powerful and thought-provoking. After reading it will stay with me for a long time.
