This week we have a local author who I think needs so much more recognition. Her books are a guarantee buy when I see there is a new one one out, I have multiple copies of her books, and I love recommending her books. For those who have been around for a while, you might've noticed I haven't been giving that many Five hearts this year, well it took a JT Lawrence book to break the drought.

Words can’t describe how much I loved this book, but I will try my best.
Usually, with the second book in a series, it feels more like a filler book, one to tide you over for the last one. This sure wasn’t the case, it was action packed, with a storyline that was gripping.
How we Found you is the sequel to Why you were taken, a book set in the not so distant future in South Africa. I love that the futuristic elements weren’t as mind boggling as most authors tend to do. There were a lot of elements were you could actually see this happening. The story follows Kate, 4 years after the events of the previous book (GO READ IT). This book shows the lengths a mother will go to, to save her children.
Another thing that really impressed me was the way Lawrence juggled a couple of characters viewpoints in this book, and I didn’t get confused or lose the thread that she weaved throughout the book. Each character had their moment that made their part in the story vital.
Lawrence had me from the very first page right through to the last one! I needed my inhaler after reading some of the scenes as they were so intense. I adore her writing style and truly think this is an author who definitely needs more recognition.
