Description

Two dead girls, another one missing, and a secret that will rip a tight-knit community apart.

When a missing teen's body shows up dismembered on the side of the road, Lt. Damien Kaine must crush her parent's hopes of her safe return. The parents are pushing for details and answers. Two things he can't give. The abduction of a second girl brings only one clue. The girls look alike.

As Damien searches for a sadistic killer, a disturbing pattern emerges. The more he digs into the community's history, the more missing girls he finds.

With the lack of evidence or movement forward on the case, a quirky FBI profiler is pulled in to assist with the investigation. Damien wrestles with disdain for the agent and an equally strong sexual attraction to her, as he deals with mounting frustrations.

Tensions rise with the abduction of another girl. Damien and his team are in a race against time to save her. But the case is about to take a frightful turn. What they uncover will not only rock them to their core, it will haunt them forever.

Innocence Taken is the first crime fiction novel in the Damien Kaine Thriller series.

    Oh Lord my nerves really took hold for the victims, such an awful situation that I don’t doubt has happened somewhere, sometime. Very well written and quite a mystery.

    I enjoyed the story and the characters. The suspense was palpable. The characters were fantastic. The author keeps the reader on edge until the end. A must read if you like suspense. This book is dark with crimes against young women. If you have triggers you may want to skip it.
  • Nice, but some flaws

    1. The MCs found connection of latest murdered girls to the first one,Beth, but chose to ignore it until later. It was so annoying to read those pages, until they finally remembered to pursue the clue, where I as a reader was shocked to see that how such professionals can ignore such a direct link. It would have saved Amy from being kidnapped if they hadn’t wasted precious time. 2. Lots of swearing. 3. Grammatical mistakes.

    this book is full of snarky misogynistic comments, both by the male and female key characters. Not a good read if you know that women have value as humans rather than sex objects. On top of that, the misogyny isn’t even grammatically correct. This book is constantly missing key commas and punctuation and is full of odd, unfitting language, which makes it a difficult read even without the constant sexist remarks. The roles and methods the “detectives” use is also not relevant to real world processes whatsoever and takes away from the reality & interest of the storyline significantly. Additionally the r*pe and torture scenes don’t add to the storyline at ALL, they seem to be there for more than the authors sick descriptions. If you’re into grammatically and societally incorrect misogynistic remarks, this is the book for you!
  • Two thumbs up!!

    It started slow for me but once it starts- it starts! I couldn’t put it down and read it in two days. On my way to book #2 in the series. Must read if you’re into shows like law and order, csi, etc
  • Good characters

    There are some things that are really good about this book and some that aren’t. The sexually explicit parts are too much and take away from the story, as is how fast it happened for four main characters. Some romance is good but this was too far. I do like however, the family values and christian aspects being an important part of that, despite the crotch novel vulgarity in contains. The main characters are fun and interesting as it the humor.

    An excellent story from first page to last. The characters are strong. The police procedures are believable. And the ending is more than satisfying. Strongly recommending this book as I order the next one.
