ABOUT THE GOUGE:

Carson ran away from Cypress Creek to escape his dark past; his father was the serial killer dubbed, "The Man in the Woods."  Twenty-two years have passed, and a simple text message threatens to bring all of Carson's secrets out into the open.

The freshly slain bodies of two teenage girls have been discovered in the woods of Cypress Creek, and the methos of which the girls were killed are identical to those found nearly twenty-two years earlier on his father's victims.  The now retired detective who worked the first case has long suspected that Carson knew more than what he revealed during interrogations; now is his chance to prove it.  

Carson returns to Cypress Creek to finally face his past, but it is soon clear that he isn't the only person in that small-town harboring dark secrets about that fateful night in the woods.

BOOK REVIEW: Abandoned, By Vicky Ball

Vicky Ball’s second book, much like her first, tackles some challenging and unfortunate situations that we tend to overlook, or ignore.  

Using her main character, Maddie, as a vessel, the author masterfully captured the feeling of growing up in an alcoholic home and feeling like there is nowhere turn and nowhere to run.  Then, a small glimmer of hope, something to grasp onto and fight for is dropped into Maddie’s life in the form of a family she never knew she had.  But when Maddie goes in search for this hope, she doesn't find exactly what she expected.  

I really enjoyed the way the story moved fast and the way that the characters spoke with one another in a very real way.  I did have some trouble resonating with the characters at the beginning, but I attribute that mostly to the fact that the target audience is more teen/young adult, which I am not.  However, once the majority of introductions were completed, I was completely drawn in and could not put it down.  Well done!

Abandoned is available in paperback and ebook format, and it is enrolled in Kindle Unlimited, so if you are a subscriber, you can download it for Free right HERE!
