Review: Emma's Secret - Steena Holmes
Review: Emma's Secret - Book #2 Finding Emma Series - Steena Holmes - June 2013
If you ever watched or read the
movie/book The Face on the Milk Carton or watched the TV series Finding Carter
or even read Angie Stanton's Don't Call Me Greta and enjoyed them all, then you
will love the Finding Emma Series by Steena Holmes which takes on a similar
storyline, the only difference is that unlike the others returned when
teenagers - Emma is returned when she is only 5 years old after being kidnapped
two years earlier. Dottie was slowly losing her memory and was convinced that
Emma was their granddaughter, a second chance after their daughter Mary took a
life of drugs and alcohol. Jack went along with it being none the wiser.
That was until the truth unraveled and it turned out that Emma belonged to
another family. Now Emma is back with her original family but of course, she
misses her Papa Jack as the two had a special relationship. Megan should be
happy all her family is back together but she is struggling and I have to admit
I hated Megan's character as she came across as selfish and all about her. This
reminded me of the mum in Finding Carter when Carter was returned as she was a
bit like this too. I did love the relationship Emma had with her real dad Peter
and the fact that he understood her to need to still have Jack in her life and
of course Jack's need to have Emma in order to have something to live
for. This is the perfect series for those who love stories of abduction
and children returning to their biological families. Mystery with a hint of
Family Saga and memories.
