Why You Were Taken thumbnailA tightly wound and imaginative thriller.
— Paige Nick.
In tomorrow’s world prowls a creative and ruthlessly efficient assassin who won’t stop until Kirsten is killed.
A troubled woman approaches Kirsten with a warning and a key and is later found dead. Was the woman just another victim of the Suicide Contagion, or is there something more sinister at play? The key leads Kirsten to the Doomsday Vault and a hit list of seven people — and her barcode is on it.
Edgy and original, Why You Were Taken is a dark cinematic thriller that will keep you guessing till the last page.
Grab the first book in the futuristic suspense series When Tomorrow Calls now.
Sexy, smart, and sci-fi.
