I don’t know what I was expecting, but I wasn’t expecting what I got, and I loved it.  For some reason I had it in my head that this was going to be a fantasy.  So i was really surprised when it was a modern day kidnapping and the mystery of where did they go and who took them.  Them is the June Boys.  On June 1 every few years, 3 boys are taken.  They are released a year later.  Then the next year, sometimes the year after, 3 more are taken.  There is no real rhyme or reason to who gets taken, they vary by age, skin color, etc.  Our story starts in 2010.  Thea and her friends have been trying to solve the Gemini Thief (June Boys) case for a year.  Her cousin was taken (they think).  Because of crazy family secrets, Thea’s dad becomes a major suspect and the story grows from there.  

An interesting thing about this story is the Elizabeth letters.  We get both sides.  We see Thea’s side of what is going on, and the side of the missing June boys.  One of the boys, writes the “elizabeth letters.”  some of these could make you cry, so be warned.  I really enjoyed this book. I loved finding out who Elizabeth way.  However, on the audiobook, there are 2 extra things.  The first is with one of the survivors 10 years later and the second was an interview with the author.  I wish I hadn’t listened to them, as they took away from the story instead of enhancing it.  This was a great mystery that kep me entertained over a few days.  It would be enjoyable by teens and adults alike.
