Oh how much I Love The Body finder Series from Kimberly Derting. It has one of the sweetest romances and I loved the mystery part. The Taking sounds equally amazing and I couldn’t be any more excited for this new series.
Loosing 4 years – Everything has Changed, just ..not You!
Kyra just lost 4 years! she comes back, has no idea where she was, she didn’t even realized she was gone, and now everything has changed! A new family where her mom just remarried, got a new kid and her father who never got over the fact that she simply disappeared a few years ago.
All her friends are away in College now and even worse, her boyfriend is also comes with a new girlfriend.
Heavily confused Kyra needs to find her place in this new/old life and tries to understand what happened to her. And those secrets are much more dangerous than she could ever image!
We start with a contemporary story and then shift towards a thrilling SciFi mystery!
In the beginning Kyra is just so lost and confused. Everything has changed, everyone wants her to explain what happened, but she has no idea! She felt disconnected from her family and cannot fit anywhere anymore. The first part of the story deals with Kyra adjusting to this new life. Then, the story shift when someone just like Kyra contacts her and suddenly she#s on the run and discovers secrets she would have been better of without.
The book really has two part, in mood and in pacing and I actually liked this shift and think it was very well done and easily kept me hooked! The story turns into a more paranormal/SciFi direction which was both thrilling, frightening and exciting.
Oh the Romance.. Oh Tyler!
*swoon* I just knew Kimverly Derting would give us a boy to swoon over! And Tyler was just The PERFECT boy. Interestingly, he’s the kid brother of Kyra’s Ex-Boyfriend – talk about an awkward situation here.. But even they were 4 years apart when Kyra left, they are now the same age and he’s the only one who is truly there for her. She easily connects with Tyler, more than with everyone else and this friendship is what keeps her grounded.
Seriously, I love their easy friendship and wonderful romance so much!! It was sweet, but also hot, sexy and so so soo romantic! Tyler is wonderful, he’s supportive and he’s so very much in love with Kyra!
“Take your time Kyra. I’m not going anywhere” he told me as he came around (…) “I’ll wait till your figure things out.” -ARC, The Taking
“Love required sacrifice and making hard choices and doing things that were bigger than just you. It wasn’t something you asked for, or could control or change. It was something you accepted.
Love was a force of nature. ” -ARC, The Taking
Bewitched Rating
Bottom Line
The Taking by Kimberly Derting was such an amazing, thrilling Contemporary – Scfi that was so wonderfully romantic.
So do you also love Kimberly Derting as much as I do? The Body Finder was amazing and Kimberly can create the most wonderful boys to swoon over!

I really enjoyed this one too Danny! And you know I’m madly in love with Tyler. There was swooning for sure (once I got past the awkwardness of the fact that she was dating his brother) and I really, really need book two in my hands so I can get back to him! More please:)

Ok I am so intrigued by the romantic love interest being four years younger than her but then she comes back and now they’re the same age! So cool. I do want to read this, thanks for reviewing it, Danny:-)

I really like the premises of this book what with abduction and memory loss and whatnot. It’s interesting to think how your life would go on without you. I don’t really care too much about the romance, I’m in this for the mysteries! Nice review Danny 🙂

I loved this book too! The premise is very unique and with the two separate parts it was almost like reading two different books. I absolutely LOVED Tyler and their romance, which I felt was totally believable. I can’t wait to read the sequel!
