While I did enjoy this book, the plot was a bit easy to figure out. I would have loved a more hard to guess path. That said, the writing is great and the suspense is strong..

This had me so invested from the start and I just loved every second of it! It's got everything you could want from a thriller or domestic noir. The characters are well written and feel like friends so I was super invested in the plot. There were twists and turns and so much tension built throughout. The hairs on ym arms were standing up as I read this, I was so on edge!! A must read

This is the second book in the Logan Sisters series. This book certainly had me guessing "who " it was. I liked that some of the characters were likeable. Look forward to reading more.

This is the second book in the Logan Sisters series. Jen Logan senses something bad is going to happen when she finds Oleander flowers placed around her home. Then she starts finding notes that are signed "Invisible." Who is trying to scare her? And then her children are taken.

A great story that has many twists and turns to keep you interested from the first page to the last!

When a crime thriller starts “Blood. Everywhere” as a single line, you know you’re in for a treat especially when the remains of the prologue doesn’t give the individual involved a name, just their horrified thoughts at what they could see!!

I briefly met Jen in the first book of the series, when she came to support sister Rachel. But now she’s front and centre of the story. And what a story. Something is afoot and it’s physically and mentally affecting this Logan gal. Is she going mad ??

I really don’t want to make of Sharon. She’s playing the perfect victim of domestic abuse but there are things I don’t trust about this woman! Maybe I’ve become an untrusting reader! Maybe I am a good judge of character… you’ll find out if you read the book!

Taken In The Dark has a different feel to its predecessor. Jen feels more of a detective than her sibling Rachel, despite being mentally and physically affected by events around her. Webb’s storytelling is enrapturing. I was there with Jen and her family. I felt the fear Jen felt as the omens around her appeared. Cracking thriller and you don’t need to have read Black Crow Cabin to enjoy it but why wouldn’t you want to meet another of the Logan sisters??

Taken in the Dark, book two in the riveting Logan Sisters thriller series, delivers an engrossing tale that will appeal to fans of suspenseful tales. Like the previous book in the series, Taken in The Dark provides the perfect blend of suspense and family drama. This installment focuses on the eldest Logan sister, Jen and her family and the dangerous situation that poses a threat to their idyllic life. Jen's desperate search for answers is at the heart of this story, as she journeys through a web of fear and uncertainty to protect her loved ones.

The series follows three sisters who possesses unique gifts connected to nature. Jen's ability enables her to interpret warning signs from natural occurrences. When animals act wildly, it signals to Jen that danger is near. A recent increase in odd animal behavior has Jen questioning the source of the impending threat. Then, threatening notes signed 'Invisible' began appearing in the most unexpected places, and items mysteriously misplaced. Before long, everything around her started to fall apart. This led to her doubting her competence as a psychologist and, above all, her sanity. Just when it seemed that the situation couldn't worsen, her children were kidnapped. At that moment, she realized the threat was directed not only at her but also at her family.

What an experience! Even though the mystery aspect was somewhat disappointing, the suspenseful elements achieved their goal. The mystery diminished for me once I deduced who was targeting Jen just fifteen percent into the story. There were other likely candidates, but this one stood out like a sore thumb. However, other elements, like the antagonist's motivation, kept me invested in the story. 

While I admired Jen's resilience, I felt she was too trusting, which left her vulnerable to Invisible's attacks. The story illustrates the importance of being cautious about who we let into our personal circle and, by extension, our homes.

"Taken in the Dark" proved to be an engaging read, and I would recommend it to fans of the genre. I eagerly anticipate the upcoming installment in the series.

I’m enjoying the Logan Sisters!! I loved the first book, Black Crow Cabin, which featured Rachel. This one features oldest sister, Jen & was just as great! It’s such an addictive thriller. If you’re looking for an unputdownable read packed with twists, grab #TakenintheDark!

I’m excited for baby sister, Annie’s, book, Without A Trace, coming 9/20/2024!

Thank you, Peggy Webb, Bookouture, & netgalley for my copy! All opinions are my own.

I eagerly dove into Jen’s story, the stalwart sister who ran her life like a confidant military commander.
Yet, I spotted the sinister snake in the initial chapters.
Like the birds that kept appearing to warn Jen that foulness was afoot, I had to constantly wipe ,y reader windshield from the bird callings to see through the smears.
I was in turmoil while reading because I had a scathing opinion of someone very close to Jen, which didn’t change by the end of the book.
A couple of the characters made me want to borrow Victoria’s cowboy boots and kick theirs bums behind the beach line.
Victoria was hilarious with her usual kick ass and take names brashness.
Readers meet Annie who commandeers the take charge attitude.
I loved all the luscious scenery descriptions amidst the danger.
Bring on Annie’s story. Oh, and Helicopter Hank can make an appearance…

I enjoyed Taken in the Dark. I think it’s the first book in a series. I wouldn’t mind reading the other books. My only gripe is the sequence of events, the actual taking mentioned in the title and blurb didn’t happen until I’d read about 80% of the book. I’m not sure this event should have been the focus of the book’s title and the blurb as I expected this to happen much sooner. Structure aside, this a good thriller. You never quite know what’s going on and where the story is going to go next. The villain of the book didn’t come as a surprise to me but the story is well executed. I’d recommend this.

Taken in the Dark is the second thrilling installment of Webb's new Logan Sisters series.

For those that haven't read any of the series, there are three Logan sisters. In the last book Rachel was the main character, in this book it's Jen's turn.

I'm really enjoying the series so far. I like the authors writing style, she knows how to engage her audience and keep them wanting more.

Taken in the Dark is a super twisty thriller with dark undertones and several scenes which some readers may find distressing.

I know this is only book two, but the sisters are such great characters and so easy to become emotionally invested in. They've also all got the sixth sense, which they inherited from their mother.

I'm already hotly anticipating my spot on the upcoming tour for Without a Trace.

Taken In The Dark by Peggy Webb is the second book in the fabulous Logan Sisters series. This time the story focuses on Jen, who has just moved into the home of her dreams in a small community in Florida, with her twin children and her husband Ben by her side.

But then frightening notes begin to appear, signed by someone calling themselves Invisible – and Jen’s life slowly begins to unravel. With her family gift of sensing impending danger in the nature and wildlife around her, Jen knows that something is very wrong and that danger is all around them. But who is targeting her? And why?

Terrified and feeling unable to trust her husband, Jen is grateful for the support of her best friend Sharon, who is staying with them after leaving an abusive husband. But as things begin to spiral even more out of control, Jen turns to the only people she knows she can completely trust – her family.

But then the unthinkable happens and Jen begins to realise that Invisible isn’t only out to get her… they also want to destroy her whole family. Will she be able to stop them before it’s too late? And if she does, can she find the strength to do whatever it takes to silence Invisible for good?

Peggy Webb’s writing goes from strength to strength as she weaves yet another heart stopping tale that has plenty of twists, turns, shocks and surprises throughout. It’s a thrilling read that, although part of a series, can still very much be read as a standalone. Atmospheric, fast paced and gripping, Taken In The Dark is one of those books that once started you really don’t want to put down!

The Logan sisters (Rachel, Jen and Annie) and their grandmother, Victoria, are fascinating characters and I love how each book so far has focused on one individual sister, the first being Rachel in Black Crow Cabin and now Jen in this second book. With their gifts manifesting in different but equally fascinating ways, I’m looking forward to learning even more about them and the history of their family as the series continues.

Taken In The Dark is a brilliant read in a series that is fast becoming one of my favourites. I can’t wait to see what Peggy Webb has in store the Logan Sisters next!

Highly recommended.

I loved this one! The atmosphere was amazing and the writing was impeccable. The characters were brought to life with the story telling. There was dark suspense and multifaceted layers to this story. The plot was a bit easy for me to guess but it didn’t affect my enjoyment of the read. I loved connecting with this family and their gifts made it an even more unique read. Can’t wait for the next one

Jennifer Turner is a psychologist and has recently began experiencing a slipping memory. Not only is this rather sudden, she begins to doubt her perfect life with her husband Benjamin. In fact, Jen often wonders if she is being gaslit, but she has no proof. Thankfully, her grandmother Victoria and her sister Annie visit when they realize that things are not just quite right with Jen.

Aside from her own worries, Jen feels more than impelled to help her friend Sharon, a sad victim of domestic abuse. Even though Jen is experiencing her own troubles, she gives much of herself and her time to Sharon. Just like in the first book about the Logan sisters, Jen has a gift, a strong intuition that things are quite off-balance. With strange occurrences happening over and over again, Jen is in quite a quandary. In fact, Jen begins to doubt the very ones in her close circle. Jen is not only worried for herself, but also for her children.

What an exciting thriller by Peggy Webb. A perfect second to Black Crow Cabin, which was Rachel’s story. Without a Trace is Annie’s story, set for release in September. These Logan sisters have their gifts, but they also have danger up front and present in their lives. While reading Jen’s story, the sense of urgency was powerful, and my attention was riveted right from the start.

Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

Taken in the Dark is book 2 in the Logan Sisters series by Peggy Webb!
I enjoyed book one Black Crow Cabin. And book two was no different.
A gripping small-town thriller with engaging characters.
This is a pacey tense crime thriller that I flew through!
This book is a propulsive thriller and an addictive mystery.
I hope to see a third book soon.

Thank You NetGalley and Bookouture for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

Taken in the Dark is the gripping, riveting, and thrilling second book in the Logan Sisters Series. Jen is the sister featured in this book. She appears to have it all - a home on the water in Florida, a good career, a husband and her twins. Jen has a unique gift that has been passed down in her family that tells her when she is in danger. When notes, flowers and turtles show up, she knows that danger is lurking.

Soon Jen's life begins to spiral. She becomes suspicious and worried for not only herself but her family. In addition, she is also noticing that things are not so perfect at home. With her family in town, she hopes to get to the bottom of things but then her biggest fear happens as her children go missing!

Peggy Webb kept me on my toes as I tried to come up with whodunit. I kept changing my suspect list and more is revealed. I enjoy the 'gift' that is passed down in the family and how it comes into play during this book. I also enjoyed the sense of unease, tension, and suspicion that grew as the plot unfolded.

The sisters and their grandmother are likeable, quirky, and interesting. I enjoyed spending time with them once again. I found this book to be well written, well thought out, and gripping.

I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Taken in the Dark by Peggy Webb is the second book in a new Logan Sisters series and this was just as good as the first book which I loved and this one was no different it was a great page turner from the start to finish.

Jen Logan is happy and is living her dream life on the water in a small community in Florida. She is living the dream with her husband and twins, and she feels settled and at peace in nature, especially as it on her door step and can watch it every day. Everything is perfect until frightening notes start appearing in and around her perfect home. They are all signed simply by "Invisible" Jens perfect world around her starts to shatter all around her.

When she arrives home one evening only to find flowers placed all over her house, and the gift passed down through her family tells her she’s in terrible danger. The delicate white blooms of the Oleander plant which is beautiful to look at but they are an omen of death!!!!

Whoever is sending them knows this too.

But why are they targeting her, and what do they want?

Before Jen can start to look into who the culprit is, her beautiful children are taken and nowhere to be found!

In a shuddering heartbeat, she realises that "Invisible" isn’t out to destroy her, but her little perfect family.

But why?

With the light fading fast and there is a storm brewing over the water, Jen knows there isn’t much time to find her children before darkness falls…........and the darkness is falling quickly!

Can Jen find them before it’s too late?

If she does, will she do what it takes to stop "Invisible" forever?

Tick Tock the clock is ticking..........and time is running out!

WoW, this book was Superb and I highly recommend this book.....Looking forward reading more books in this series

Big Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

After the kidnapping of her sister in the first book, Jen the eldest is the focus for this book. She lives a perfect life, had a perfect house, an amazing husband and sweet twins. Things start to go wrong as omens are predicting danger. The book is a decent psychological thriller and makes you question who is good and who isn’t. The book does leave breadcrumbs along the way so the end mastermind was a bit predictable. The end of it was sad as it deals with domestic violence so warning might be necessary.

Jen Logan's story is an absolute page-turner! Living her dream life in a tranquil Florida community with her loving husband and twins, Jen seems to have it all. But when an ominous note appears, signed by the mysterious "Invisible," her peaceful existence takes a terrifying turn.

The suspense intensifies when Jen discovers her home adorned with oleander flowers, a chilling omen of death. The stakes are raised even higher when her children are kidnapped, revealing Invisible's true target: her family. With a storm brewing and time running out, Jen's desperate race to save her children is both heart-pounding and emotionally charged.

This book is a masterful blend of suspense, danger, and maternal determination. You'll find yourself rooting for Jen as she navigates the perilous journey to protect her loved ones. An unforgettable read that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page!

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this book

book 2 in the series about the sisters, this one is about jen and her family
