Lo Campbell’s mother had a long history of trying to find her spiritual self, and it led them all over America. This time, however, something found her. The greater demon snatched Lo’s mother right in front of her. Now she needs help to get her mom back.
She’s loathe to ask for the help of a tackily dressed demon she knows, but he puts her on to a Tracker named Shaw. He’s supposed to be the best, and he sure charges accordingly. He’s a grumpy man of few words, but he swears he can find her mother. She just has to insist on coming along.
The Things They’ve Taken is an interesting YA supernatural road trip novel, and the start of a series. It’s got a lot of the standard up and down dramatic romance bits much of the genre has, but the supernatural action is fairly fast paced and interesting. I think I’ll stick around for the next one, and if YA is your thing, give it a try.
