I know I had a good life before. If only I could remember it.I couldn’t sew, I couldn’t fish, I couldn’t hunt, I couldn’t cook, for goodness’ sake I couldn’t even tell the hallucinogenic mushrooms from the non-hallucinogenic ones. The list of Things I Couldn’t Do was uncomfortably long.There was, however, one pretty big thing I could do: I could heal people with just a touch of my hands.I didn’t … just a touch of my hands.
I didn’t understand it, nor did I know why or how I came by this ability, because here was the other thing: I had no memory.
Nada. Nil. Zero.
I had simply awoken on a beach, about two months ago, with my name rolling around my head, but that was it. My name was all I knew.
Just my name.
Meda.

Misplaced is the 2nd book in the Joined series by Mara Gan. It follows on from the first book, Joined. I really loved the first book and was excited to see what the author had in store for Meda and Perseus next. This book was so not what I expected but I have to say that I absolutely loved it. I just could not put it down. I just had to know how this change of direction of the story would all work out.
Mara Gan has taken the reader on an amazing journey in this second book. Meda has woken up on a beach and has no memory of her past life. All she is sure of is that her name is Meda.
I absolutely loved how she and Perseus found their way together and fell for each other again, not knowing who the other person was due to their memory loss. In this book Mara Gan has written the most amazing story, with outstanding characters, some of whom you will love and others you will despise.
The story flows really well and you get totally dragged into the danger, intrigue and growing attraction brewing around these amazing characters. As well as Meda and Perseus, this book has a wonderful collection of secondary characters who have a vital role within the story and add much humour, danger, intrigue and mystery to this wonderful tale.
One thing I must add is that I’m praying that this is not the end of the Joined series as I’m not ready to say goodbye to Meda and Perseus yet.
Misplaced was a great 5 star read, I was pulled in right from the beginning.
We start with Meda waking up on the beach, the only thing she can remember is her name. We then jump ahead two months. She has discovered the past couple of months that she has certain skills that others may not understand. Meda also discovers that she can heal people. She surrounds herself with some great characters that want to help people right along with her. I really liked Kako.
Will Meda get her memory back and find out who she is?
Overall I really enjoyed this read. There is so much in this story, you won’t want to stop reading until your done. We get mystery, romance, action and so much more. We also end with a lead into the next book. This is a great fantasy read and I look forward to the next book in the series. I also enjoyed the historical notes after the story.
Misplaced by Mara Gan a four-star read that you won’t want to misplace. This is number two in the Joined series and I would recommend you read them in order as you do get the most of it them that way. This has been a solid fantasy romance series, and the author does a great job of keeping you hooked. Meda is strong and stubborn, but strong for others and always willing to put herself out for others anything to help and heal them. As you go through the story and find who is Meda? You will enjoy discovering her story and finding her grow into herself. I don’t want to reveal anything about what happens as you do need t read the story to find out the glorious details of this story.
I am sorry but I just didn’t like where this book went. I absolutely ADORED the first book so I was curious what would happen next. It had been a while since I read Joined (book 1) so I reread the last couple chapters get back up to speed. I really didn’t need to do that. This story can be read as a stand alone since there isn’t much connection to Joined until very late in the book. Even then it was confusing to me. This seems like a different story. Now as a stand alone story it is fine. Different world, different characters (to an extent) and different story.
This is the second book in this series and my second by this author. I am not sure I would continue with more. This one was too confusing to me. I keep looking for a connection between books/characters but not much was there. Once it showed up I had already moved on with the new characters. I seemed to find a lot of problems that were sewed up in the last 15% of the book. Sorry Not a fan.
I give Misplaced: Joined: Book Two by Mara Gan, 4 stars.
This was such a good book! It starts out with Meda waking up on a beach, with no recollection who she is or why she is there. She only remembers her name. But it is quickly evident that she is not like the others here.
The character building in this book is fantastic. Meda, along with her friends, are such good characters. Each one is unique, but they strive to help people as best they can. They aren’t perfect, but they try to be the best they can.
The story itself is also wonderful. I was drawn into the story immediately and did not want to stop reading. The author keeps you turning pages until the end — even then you want more!
This is fantasy/science fiction at it’s best. There is love, there is action, but there so much more too. If you are a fan of great fantasy/science fiction, I highly recommend this book.
Misplaced the second book in the Joined series by Mara Gan. Mara Gan has an amazing story plot and unforgettable characters. How would you react if you were on the beach and left there without a memory? Meda can not remember much, but she can remember she can heal people with her touch. Will Meda ever figure out how she got to the beach? Will her memory come back about her ability? You will have to read this story to find out the questions to this and many more.
5 Star
Misplaced (Joined Book Two) by Mara Gan is the second Book in the Joined series and my absolute favorite yet. Misplaced is a fantasy romance that pulled me in from the beginning and doesn’t let go till the end. I simply couldn’t put it down I had to know what was going to happen next. This is a story about a young woman who wakes up on a beach but can’t remember how she got there , why she’s there but she remembers her name is Meda . She has the power to heal people by just touch, problem is she doesn’t know how she has this power. Who is she really? What does her future look like? Will she get her memory back? All I can say is this is a must read. I can’t recommend this book or this series enough. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.
MISPLACED is book two in the “Joined” series and I appreciated that this one was about 100 pages shorter than the first, yet still held all of the colorful descriptions and world building that moves the story along. I still found myself skimming a bit because I really wanted to find out what was going to happen next.
This continues to be a journey of epic proportions with suspense and twists and turns along the way. The cadence of the story moves it along seamlessly.

I devoured the first book of the series and seriously couldn’t wait to get this second installment in my hands. I am so excited to say that Gan DID NOT disappoint. This book was every bit of engaging and fantastic as it’s predecessor. Vivid imagery and detail. The main characters were extremely well written and felt very relatable. The storyline didn’t feel contrived but rather had a natural ebb and flow that allowed the characters to breathe. I truly loved this book and continue to love this series. I am excited to see what Gan might write next – I anticipate another epic edition to my library!
Misplaced: Joined: Book Two by Mara Gan is a fantasy romance and a great read. It is well written and is unique in its telling and the rich and vivid world that Mara has created. The plot is well done and there are twists that you don’t see coming. It is full of mystery and intrigue, lots of action and drama, adventure and suspense and evil but hope around every corner. I loved the first book in the series and was not disappointed with this one either. I found myself losing sleep because I was unable to put it down, I just had to know what was around the next corner. The characters are written beautifully and are well crafted and oh so endearing, so much so that I found myself laughing out loud on many occasions at the banter and their actions.
Meda awakes not know how she got where she is, where she is and even if that is her name. She finds herself alone and having to carve out a life for herself in her strange surroundings. Managing to keep herself alive, barely, she sets out to help those in need without a second thought to her own safety. She is a true pleasure to read about and her antics. Will she ever remember the life she had before?
Kyros is more than he seems, he has many names. He lives a privileged life but one that is not truly his own. He is a Mercenary and a finder of treasures but finding those treasures are not as easy as it seems. He is grumpy all the time until he finds himself drawn to a selfless, caring and wonderfully strange beautiful woman tied to a pole but that is the least of her problems it seems she finds herself in all sorts of trouble and he finds himself at her rescue more often than not.
Overall, this is a great read and I am anxiously awaiting to see what happens to Meda and Persius.
This is one of those series that suck you in and you don’t want to quit reading until its over! This is Book 2 in this series and I’ve been waiting to read more about Meda. She is one of those characters that you can’t help but love how strong she really is. After waking up on the beach with absolutely no memory but her name, she sets out to find out the things she can’t remember (Like her entire past). The only thing she does find out pretty quickly is that she can heal people with just the touch of her hands.
I loved that this book carries everything you would want in a book. It has action, romance, suspense, and mystery. It will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end!
Misplaced (Joined Book Two)
By: Mara Gan
5 out of 5 stars
The story Misplaced (Joined Book Two) by Mara Gan is a fantasy/romance book. It is the second story in a series, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first one. It pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. I enjoyed reading about the character of Meda. She is a young girl who is strong, kind, helpful to others, and stubborn. She is someone who cares about others and does all that she can to help those who need it. Meda has found herself on a beach with no memory of her past, only her name. She has the extraordinary talent of being able to heal others. Who is Meda? Will she remember her past? What does the future hold for her? Read this book to find out. This story has action, danger, mystery, and romance. There are also many other characters that interact with Meda. Some of them are helpful to her, others have their own agenda and will do anything to make their plans succeed, and then there are those who I wondered about their true motives. I enjoyed the friendship that Meda has with some of the characters. I loved that Meda is a young girl who doesn’t think of herself, she puts others first. Don’t miss out on this exciting book. I would suggest reading this series in order. Highly recommended.
This is the second book in this series and my favorite yet. This is a creative, well written story that pulled me in right from the beginning. The characters made the story feel realistic and they kept me turning pages. This is a story about waking up on a beach and not know who you are but have the ability to heal people just by touching them. Problem is that you don’t know where it came from. I enjoyed watching the characters grow throughout. I highly recommend this book.
