Genre: Science fiction, fantasy, romance, mystery, are memories all they are cracked up to be? 

This is book one in a new series (also entitled 'The Taking').

Kyra is 16 and wakes up behind a pile of rubbish at a petrol station really confused and with no idea at all about how she got there. Upon arriving home she finds a strange man there and things are not right. She finally finds out that while she thinks she is missing only one night's worth of memories she has actually been missing for five years. What is even stranger is that she looks no different to she did five years ago!

Kyra's life is very different to before- her parents are divorced and her mum is remarried, she was an only child and she now has a brother, her boyfriend is now dating the girl who was her best friend...

Kyra turns to her old boyfriend's younger brother, Tyler, and together they retrace her steps from the night she disappeared. They discover strange phenomena that no one can explain. In fact, there are others who have been taken... and returned much later. Kyra tries to figure out an explanation and get back the life she used to have, but what if the life she wants back is not her own?

Because you all love Wally so much- we bought you some new books! Enjoy and keep Wally's whereabouts a secret!!

Saine Sinclair knows a little something about what makes a story worth telling. Your childhood best friend refuses to kiss you during a pre-adolescent game of spin the bottle? Terrible, zero stars, would not replay that scene again. The same ex-friend becomes your new best friend’s ex? Strangely compelling, unexpected twist, worth a hate-watch. That same guy—why is he always around? —turns out to be your last shot at getting into the documentary filmmaking program of your dreams? Saine hates to admit it, but she’d watch that movie. There’s something about Holden that makes her feel like she’s the one in front of the camera—like he can see every uncomfortable truth she’s buried below the surface. Saine knows how her story’s supposed to go. So why does eve...
