Review - The Things They've Taken by Katie McElhenney




Title: The Things They've Taken
Author: Katie McElhenney
Pages: 278
Publisher: Entangled: Teen
Release Date: 1st May 2017

Blurb from Goodreads: 

All Lo Campbell wants is to be a normal teenager—to go to one high school, live in one place, and have one real friend. Instead, she travels the country with her mother, chasing the unknown, the supernatural waiting out there…

Until one day, the supernatural chases back.

Determined to rescue her mom from whatever otherworldly being took her, Lo is going to need a Tracker—and lucky for her, she finds one. Shaw is strong, good-looking, possibly available, and utterly infuriating. Sure, he may have secrets, and his help costs more than a brand-new car, but she’ll have to deal with him if she wants to find her mother—and get her home alive.

My Review:




*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to Entangled Publishing LLC and NetGalley*




Dolores aka Lo has spent her life moving from town to town with her mother who studies various cults/beliefs before getting bored and switching to the next one.
One day Lo returns to their apartment in time to see her mother trapped in a pentagram and then disappear.
Lo will do whatever it takes to find her mother, even if it means paying a moody tracker called Shaw to hunt her down.
What took Lo's mother?
Will Lo find her?


The premise for The Things They've Taken intrigued me, and while it might have gone in a slightly different direction than I was expecting, I enjoyed it.
I liked reading from Lo's point of view. She was relatable and determined to find her mother. I felt a bit sorry for her - Lo didn't have many close friends due to moving around a lot, and had been growing apart from her mother.
The romance wasn't one of my favourites, but I didn't feel that it was rushed.
The plot was interesting and ended in a way I hadn't guessed. I liked that things weren't straight forward and am intrigued to see what happens in the sequel.
I really liked the writing style - it was easy to follow and held my attention.


Overall this was an enjoyable read.
