Guest Author - Karen Ledbetter

The author hooked me with the story from the very beginning. After losing her adoptive parents in a tragic plane crash, a devastated Analisa Marconi sets out to locate her birth family in Santo Sangre. Analisa is unaware that all young women adopted from the tiny island are in grave danger if they return.

In spite of safety precautions taken by the Santo Sangre authorities, and Analisa’s cooperation with them, she remains in danger of being kidnapped by a violent anti-adoption gang. And, in the midst of this danger, Analisa unexpectedly finds herself falling in love.

I must admit that I was skeptical about a novel with an adoption theme. However, the author pleasantly surprised me with this story. It’s well written, full of action, and is in no way demeaning to adoption or the adoption process. The action held my interest throughout. The book does contain sexual content, although tastefully written as a part of the storyline. I would not recommend this book for anyone under 18, for that reason alone.

So, if you’re looking for a good book to enjoy during spring break or summer vacation, this is it! The book is published by Genesis Press and is available at Amazon.com
