Innocence Taken description:
|
|
|
Nature Kranderson stumbles upon a serial killer when she uses her psychic ability to help a family locate their missing teenage daughter. For some reason, the killers face remains shrouded. That has never happened before. She has always been able to ID them. It frustrates her, and makes her a little nervous. Unfortunately, she can see everything he does to the young ladies—every little perverted detail. He gets off keeping them naked and using them as often as possible before he becomes disenchanted. When that happens, death follows.
Nature joins forces with Sheriff Web Westerly and begins a cross-country journey that takes them to Florida. Another teenage girl is missing and the police have asked for her help. Nature discovers her disappearance has nothing to do with the 'Man', as she's dubbed the killer. While there, another teenager disappears from the Daytona area. The Man has struck again.
The news people catch wind of the missing girls. They track down Nature, seeking an exclusive interview, flashing her face across the television screen once they locate her. Unfortunately, someone else is watching that day. A serial killer is looking for his next target, and he thinks he may have found her on the news.
WARNING: this book contains graphic sexual content, violence and language. Intended for a mature audience.

| -Diane, author of His Black Dahlia, featured in Horrotica, Issue 2: | Janet...just wanted to let you know that the dust bunnies, laundry, and the kids dinner will just have to wait...and it's all your fault. Innocence Taken is just too gripping to put down!!! Bravo!

| -Sharon, a reader: | | Innocence Taken is one of the most compelling books I have ever read. This book grabbed me from the first page to the last; I couldn't put it down. An exciting, thrilling and at the same time horrifying ride through the mind of a clairvoyant and the madman that she is connecting to. |
| -Frost, reviewer from TwoLipsReviews.com: | | Innocence Taken is very graphic and detailed, and so might not be suitable for every reader. It is a fascinating suspenseful novel though, and the characterization of Nature, the psychic protagonist, is well done and intriguing. The secondary characters are delineated well also. Many readers will be drawn to this story, despite the detailed violence of the murders. Janet Durbin will be an author to watch. |
| -Jen H, reviewer from FallenAngelReviews.com: | First, Readers should be forewarned that this book contains a considerable amount of graphic sexual violence. Innocence Taken is a seriously chilling tale following the chase for a sadistic killer that involves a lot of emotions, a great deal of suspense, and a heavy dose of horror. Ms. Durbin has created two compelling leading characters. Nature's ability to deal with so much overwhelming emotional bombardment, and her continued dedication to helping others despite the tax her “gift” takes on her, proves her to be a remarkably strong and courageous heroine. In addition, Web's gruff demeanor and protectiveness toward Nature easily endear him as a hero. In fact, Nature and Web make for an appealing couple and their budding romance acts as a shining light in this often dark thriller.

| –Gordon, a reader: | If you want a terrifying ride into the mind and acts of a psychotic and the person that has to track him through a physic connection, this is the book. A frighting, engrossing page turner.
