Book Review: Stolen

I got a free copy of Stolen (Blackpool Mysteries)to review from a give away on Twitter Mom. I had no idea what to expect. I was a bit skeptical when I saw it was a Harlequin book. I haven’t read one of those in ages. Luckily, this is not my mom’s Harlequin books.

I surprisingly enjoyed the book. The characters were interesting and I liked the story and how it was laid out. This is the first in a mystery series, set in rural England. There is a missing treasure, murders and a bit of romance (but this was not the main focus at all). I liked that it had an complete ending. It is frustrating to me to read a series where you HAVE to read the next book to get to the end of the story.

In the back of the book I found out it was based on the Ravenhearst game from Big Fish Games. I don’t like computer games, but I went to check it out and it looks like it could be fun. You certainly don’t have to play the game to enjoy the book. 🙂

I am glad I had a chance to read Stolen. I am going to get the next book, Vanished to see what happens to Michael and Molly next.
