Texas Twin Abduction by Virginia Vaughan
This engaging novel was both suspenseful and cleverly crafted. The characters are well-developed, and the plot kept me intrigued and turning the page. Virginia Vaughan successfully drew me in from the opening page as Ashlee Taylor suffers memory loss after a car crash.

Ashlee draws a blank as people claim to know her. All she can go by is her gut feeling of whether they are…

My first instinct was to read about half-way through the book before writing a review, but I became enthralled by this gripping story and couldn’t put it down. In one sense The Girl Behind the Red Rope reminded…
