Book Review: Here and Gone by Haylen Beck


Audra Kinney is living a nightmare. She is trying to escape an abusive husband who was crafty enough to manipulate her such that he stands to be able to keep the children from her. When she finally makes the decision to take her children far away from him, the nightmare takes of a chilling new turn. Behind bars and with her children missing, Audra must find a way to save her family and get out of the mess she is in.

The first few chapters in Here and Gone set the stage and introduce a variety of characters and situations, but once you get about 10 chapters in (chapters are short), it gets very difficult to stop reading. As the mother of young children myself, I connected with Audra’s maternal instincts and the hopelessness of her plight. I also enjoyed reading about a character that connects with her inner strength to boldly overcome an impossible situation. Mr. Beck does an excellent job weaving a thrilling tale of deceit and treachery that will keep your attention and hold it even once the book has ended.

I don’t recommend this book for young readers as it has adult themes, including abuse. But I highly recommend it for the mature reader who has a stomach for some difficult but very realistic scenarios.
