Witness Protection has taken nearly everything from her. But for now, they’ve given her a new name, Megan Rose Jones, and a horrible hair color. For the past eight months, Meg has begged her father to answer one question: What on earth did he do – or see – that landed them in this god-awful mess? Meg has just about had it with all the Suits’ rules — and her dad’s silence. If he won’t help, it’s time she got some answers for herself.
But Meg isn’t counting on Ethan Landry, an adorable Louisiana farm boy who’s too smart for his own good. He knows Meg is hiding something big. And it just might get both of them killed. As they embark on a perilous journey to free her family once and for all, Meg discovers that there’s only one rule that really matters — survival
‘Meg’ has spent the last eight months in the Witness
Protection Program with her parents and her little sister. Natchitoches, Louisiana is the sixth place
they have been and Meg is determined for it to be the last. Meg has given up on trying to fit in, instead
she is on a mission to find out what her dad did or saw that landed them in the
Program.
The only thing that bothered me about Meg was how dismissive
she was. I mean, it’s obvious that there
is a threat on her and her family’s life since she is in the Witness Protection
Program so I would think she would have paid a little more attention to the
strange things that kept happening instead of brushing it off as paranoia. I get that she didn’t want to move again, but
still.
I really liked Ethan; he was very sweet and extremely
charismatic, I can completely understand why Meg had a hard time staying away
from him. I also loved that Meg and
Ethan’s relationship took time, that it wasn’t the instant love that we see in
a lot of books.
I don’t want to give anything away so I will just say that everything
changes for Meg when the truth about why her family is in the Protection
Program comes out.
Overall, The Rules For
Disappearing is an engaging read that has just enough suspense and romance
that will keep you hooked until the very last page. I’m looking forward to the next book in this
series.
i definitely enjoyed the combination of mystery/suspense and romance in this book. Loved Ethan! ~Pam
ReplyDeleteI loved this one! I thought a few things were a little too far fetched but overall, it's pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI agree-- Meg was too naive about what was going on. That or, like you said, dismissive
Great review!
