The Taking

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer meets The Fifth Wave in this chilling and explosive new series from author Kimberly Derting.

The last thing Kyra Agnew remembers is a flash of bright light. She awakes to discover that five whole years have passed. Everyone in her life has moved on—her parents are divorced, her boyfriend is in college and dating her best friend—but Kyra's still the sixteen-year-old she was when she vanished. She finds herself drawn to Tyler, her boyfriend's kid brother, despite her best efforts to ignore this growing attraction. In order to find out the truth, the two of them decide to retrace her steps from that fateful night. They discover that there are others who have been "taken," just like Kyra. But Kyra is the first person to have been returned past the forty-eight-hour taken mark. With a determined secret government agency after her, Kyra desperately tries to find an explanation and reclaim the life she once had . . . but what if the life she wants back is not her own?

• Lost Time: Kyra vanished for five years, but for her, it was only overnight. She awakes at sixteen to a world that left her behind, with no memory of where she’s been.
• Boyfriend’s Brother Romance: The only person she can trust is Tyler, her ex’s younger brother. He was just a kid when she left—now he’s the one person who might have answers, and an attraction she can’t ignore.
• Ex-Boyfriend & Best Friend Betrayal: While Kyra was gone, her boyfriend Austin and best friend Cat moved on... together. Coming home means facing the two people who were supposed to wait for her.
• Government Conspiracy: Kyra isn’t just a missing person; she’s a target. A shadowy government agency is hunting her, determined to uncover the secret of her return at any cost.
