Taken seems to fall under a few genres right in the beginning fantasy, paranormal, mystery, and even a tiny bit of romance. It is set in Wales with some Welsh words thrown in, yet no dictionary or explanation of what the words mean. Also, the usage of Nana and Mam is all over the place, with it capitalized in one sentence and not in the next. There are several misspellings (your instead of you're, best instead of bet were the main ones). The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is the editing. That plot point is actually well done, and doesn't come over as silly or contrived. At the same time though, she second guesses her relationship with Thomas, because everyone she's ever loved has left her and surely he must be next. She's confident in her skill, but not reckless. I like that Summer has some magical 'power', yet she draws most of that from nature, specifically trees. This story finds them working together to locate a missing half-goblin/half-human girl who has been kidnapped. Her boyfriend/partner is Thomas, a full human, but with some pretty kick ass Krav Maga skills. Summer is a rune witch, although after a little investigation, I think the author has combined Summer's affinities with both a rune witch and a green witch, with a touch of kitchen witch thrown in. I saw the 4-book box set for a ridiculous price and decided to take a chance on it. I'm glad I read it and the decluttering of my Kindle, begins. Interesting story, not bad, but not great either. Consequently, Fae investigators are hired to make the determination and solve the mysterious abduction crime.

A witch's daughter gets abducted, but there is uncertainty as to whether it was a Fae crime. This is an urban fantasy involving all sorts of Fae creatures in a modern milieu. I found Taken by Victoria DeLuis on my Kindle from way back when. Now, of course, one of the problems with having access to such a vast library of free and relatively free books, one finds that the Kindle library gets just as cluttered as the bookshelves at home. I started acquiring everything I could find regardless of genre. So, after my first time reading something so compactly, I realized that digital books ALSO have merit. He told me that Captain Kirk reads books on his tablet.

I thought it was stupid to have BOOKS on a machine. My oldest son had been trying to convince me to get one, so that we could share a library. When I first got my Kindle, I did a complete 180 degrees.
