A good start
This is a debut novel, and if you aren't aware of it, you could probably tell.
However, the story has a great premise and opens with a well-defined prologue. Marc has a well-developed writing style, but there needs to be more character development. The story is gripping and intriguing, and a new idea on how to deal with missing children, especially the ones that are never heard about. The story is interesting, and probably could lead to more books, if there were better story and character development. I personally think the ending was a little too fast, but it's a good story and the author should be proud.
