A flash of white light . . . and then . . . nothing.

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. With a terrible headache and a major case of déjà vu, she heads home only to discover that five years have passed . . . yet she hasn’t aged a day.

Everything else about Kyra’s old life is different. 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.

Confused and lost, Kyra isn’t sure how to move forward unless she uncovers the truth. 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. 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. There are others like her who have been taken . . . and returned. 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?


Thoughts:
Alright.....This. Book. Sounds. Epic! I may be a Kimberly Derting virgin, but I certainly plan on picking this up ASAP. Makes me think a bit about the TV show Resurrection that's popular right now, only more YA-esque! I mean hello, vanishing teen returned to a world that kept moving on, only to fall for her ex-boyfriend's younger brother with the possibility of an alien interference? Oh, yes please!

What do you think of The Taking? Will you by adding it to your TBR list?
And what are you waiting on this week?
