Stolen looks short and has a pretty cover with a butterfly on it, but don't be fooled—it takes patience and careful reading to get through this one. Remember, the bulk of the action takes place during Gemma's captivity in Australia, which means there are really only two characters in the book. But, while there are lots of conversations between Ty and Gemma, there are also detailed, lengthy descriptions of Gemma's attempts to escape and strike out on her own. It can be tempting to zone out in moments like these, but we promise that if you pay attention, you'll be rewarded with quite a view.
