What do you do when the past refuses to stay dead and buried?Six months have passed since the explosion at Platinum Industries.For the first time in our lives, Bandit and I knew what it felt like to be with a loving family, and it was a lot like getting to eat a main and dessert every day, for every meal (and having starved on the streets for so long, everyone knows how much I like my food).… knows how much I like my food).
Things were going great and we were about to celebrate some joyful news when the inexplicable happened: Sully received an impossible message from his past, then my own demons caught up to me. Even Bandit wasn’t happy, unable to get the stray we recently rescued to like him. For whatever reason, the two dogs could not get along.
In no time, our close unit fragmented as we were each faced with our very worst nightmares until I finally found myself alone and stranded, with Sully nowhere in sight. And Bandit? He’d been dognapped. Taken by someone with evil intentions.
The thought that Bandit could be stuck in a cage again filled my heart with fury, but with my family on the brink of implosion and our enemy seemingly invisible and one step ahead of us at all times, just how was I going to save him?

This review is for the audio book.
Wow I am so glad I discovered this series because i have enjoyed both of the books I have listened to and can’t wait to start the final book. I do suggest that you start with book one because it explains a lot more as to what is going on but as that was a good book it will be no hardship.The book might be written with young adults in mind but umm being slightly older than that, I can say it is so well written with plenty of action and a great plot that any age will enjoy it. Each chapter is told by a different character depending on who the chapter affects, I think this works well for the story and keeps it interesting because you also get to hear from the side of the mad scientist.
Chase has finally stopped running and is making a new happy life with Bandit and her new family, until what was ment to be a happy time turns into a nightmare. Sully gets a message from his past that puts a strain on his and Sam’s relationship, Chase makes a mistake and looks back into her past which causes her past to come find her, in the form of her mother. Gideon rescues a dog that the normal friendly Bandit can’t make friends with. One of these things is bad enough but all three problems a raising at the same time, just when the newly formed family needs to be at there strongest is very bad because an enemy is with in them. An enemy they know nothing about. Will the enemy drive a wedge between the family and finally yet what he wants or will the bond they forged in desperate times hold strong.
I liked the narrator she has a clear speaking voice that she puts to good use effecting emotion into each of the characters.
An extremely original story of a super intelligent dog who is more than just a pet. I absolutely fell in love with this dog and kept wishing I owned him. I am an adult and I know better but an adult can still have dreams right? This is an awesome story and I wish there were MORE about these characters.
Wanted #1 – This is a verified purchase, after getting the Instafreebie with 15 chapters, this book was purchased. Another well written book by Jo. I was impressed with The Boy Next Door, but this novel is just as great. Wanted has characters that are believable and well developed. The fast-paced plot was well thought out, full of intrigue and the pages just flew by, filled with suspense. My emotions were constantly in motion, varying continuously throughout the story. The reason behind the horror has you feeling for the evil person, but continuously pulling for the good guys. 5*
Haunted #2 – Another good book! A well written, suspenseful novel with a well thought out plot and interesting, believable characters. I read it in one sitting, it was so good. This author never fails to disappoint the reader. 5*
The Boy Next Door – A must read. Beautiful story, sad and uplifting. Well-written, compelling the reader to complete the story in one sitting. I’m so glad I contacted the author to review her novella. I want to read more of her work. 5*
What Doesn’t Kill You, Episode #1 – Totally awesome!, and it’s just the first episode. It’s a cliffhanger but it’s written in episodes, which I totally dislike in any book. That pet peeve aside, Ms. Ho has done a jam up job with the start of a new series. This genre is right up my alley and I love everything I’ve read by this author. The story starts with the introductions of the main characters and touches on their background. I’m sure as the pages grow, the characters will develop more with time and experiences. So far, I like all of them, and I usually don’t care for this age group, but I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the story. The last chapter pretty much gave a big hint of the future of these four young women and the roller coaster ride their lives will be now.
I wish I could tell what happened to Christian, but that’s a spoiler; I let you enjoy the story with fresh eyes and no heads up. The story line can go anywhere from here and I know the ride will be fast paced and twisted. I thank the author for the clean language; yes, real people do not use vulgar language, whether they’re Christians or not. 5 stars even though it’s in parts – made for the screen, not to make more profits.
