I am a science fiction geek at heart and love the concept of aliens. I was excited by the premise for The Taking the first book in a new trilogy by Kimberly Derting. Kyra races to find an explanation and reclaim the life she once had, but what if the life she wants back is not her own? There are others like her who have been taken. As Tyler and Kyra retrace her steps from the fateful night of her disappearance, they discover strange phenomena that no one can explain, and they begin to wonder if Kyra’s father is not as crazy as he seems. With Austin gone, she turns to Tyler, Austin’s annoying kid brother, who is now seventeen and who she has a sudden undeniable attraction to. Confused and lost, Kyra isn’t sure how to move forward unless she uncovers the truth. Her parents are divorced, her boyfriend, Austin, is in college and dating her best friend, and her dad has changed from an uptight neat-freak to a drunken conspiracy theorist who blames her five-year disappearance on little green men. Everything else about Kyra’s old life is different. With a terrible headache and a major case of déjà vu, she heads home only to discover that five years have passed. When sixteen-year-old Kyra Agnew wakes up behind a Dumpster at the Gas ’n’ Sip, she has no memory of how she got there.
