I read the second of the three and enjoyed, I hadn’t read the first. Hatzlacha!
ETA This is in response to the captives question sorry

Thanks! I have the second one (Return from Captivity) and was wondering if I should save it until I read the first one, but it looks tempting!

Rochel shorr has another amazing one I think it’s called the search. The cover is light blue with like a snow globe type of thing.

Zero Hour and Zero limits I own but also read them when I was in high school.

Twist and ties I wouldn’t recommend for under 16 years old.

For young teens I highly recommend Bricks and stones by Ariella shiller and truth or dare by chavi singer.

A few good true novels.
Hold on tight
Roll call
Where is the daughter I raised.

Also good books as long as I live and part 2 and 3 but again I don’t recommend those for under 16 years old.

I just started captives by Rache Istrin and am really liking it. It’s the first of 3 so it’s not new but wanted to share.

M Kenan's book is out!
Bought it today as a yom tov treat because I just couldn't leave it in the store, doubt it's gonna remain that for much longer.
I'm so excited!
