Publisher's Summary:

With The Innocent, Taylor Stevens, the bestselling author of The Informationist, returns with another blockbuster thriller featuring the fearless Vanessa Michael Munroe.

Eight years ago, a man walked five-year-old Hannah out the front doors of her school and spirited her over the Mexican border, taking her into the world of a cult known as The Chosen. For eight years, followers of The Prophet have hidden the child, moving her from country to country, shielding the man who stole her.

Now, those who've searched the longest know where to find her. They are childhood survivors of The Chosen, 30-somethings born and raised inside the cult who've managed to make lives for themselves on the outside. They understand the mindset, the culture within that world, and turn to Vanessa Michael Munroe for help, knowing that the only possibility of stealing Hannah back and getting her safely out of Argentina is to trust someone who doesn't trust them, and get Munroe on the inside.

Good Follow up -

Its been a long time since I read the Informationist which is the first book in this series. I do remember liking it and wanting to return to it so here I am a few years later. Michael Munroe is a deadly chameleon. She can change her appearance, fluently speaks several different languages and knows how to blend in. Her expertise is information.

When her friend asks her to help get a child out of a cult she reluctantly takes the job. She is having a difficult time and is having nightmares that leave people in danger. Hopefully she can suppress this long enough for her to find Hannah and get her out of the cult before she gets moved again.

I found myself a little lost on what the nightmares were about, maybe it was something that happened in the first book that I don't remember but her violent episodes were such a central part that I felt I was missing something. However it didn't take away from the overall story. The Chosen are terrifying in the realistic portrayal of a religious cult and the way in which Michael infiltrates them is brilliant and simple. The characters are well developed with many layers.

I don't think I will wait so long to read the next book in this series.

Most talented author of our generation

After reading Taylor's first novel, The Informationist, I wrote my review, not only about the book itself, but the level of talent this new author exhibited. I anxiously awaited her follow-up, if only to confirm or deny my first impression of Taylor Stevens' skills.

I was not disappointed! She once again transorted me from my quiet, "normal" life into the cultures of Morrocco, New York, and finally Argentina. She merged me with lives I will never encounter in my reality; the lives of Michael, Miles, Logan and other survivors of a horrific childhood. This author is no amateur, and I only wish there was so much more quality fiction available such as this!

This novel picks up exactly where I had hoped it would; Vanessa in Morrocco. Her humanity is perfectly blended with her extraordinary gifts in the form of nightmares, loyalty, and true devotion to her friends.
