Book Review: The Road To You by Marilyn Brant





The Road To You by Marilyn Brant
Had read a book  years ago and was happy to get a review copy for this one as the description fascinated me and I knew the author would write an incredible story.
Started out with visiting the author's site where the pictures that go along with the journey are shown. Talk about first hand knowledge of the path they took!
Book starts with table of contents and soundtrack of the story.
A note to the reader is included.
Starts out with Aurora and she's found a journal from her dead brother Gideon. He and his friend Jeremy, Donovan's brother had died two years ago and the families had no understanding as to what happened. Love how Gideon knew his sister so well he could leave her clues that only she'd understand.
Aurora and Donovan head out together to solve some of the hidden meanings.
They start a journey 3 hours away and ask the right questions of other and find out things they didn't even know the boys were interested in.
They then follow it to Chicago where they find a women, Amy Lynn who knew them.
So much danger as they are given so much more information and are able to see them both on film.
Love how the clues lead them to other places. Aurora has a feeling the boys are still alive but everybody has said they are dead and they had funerals for them years ago.
Love how they get tidbits of information from others and just piece them all together, leading to what they don't know what they will find at the end...
Love how the author does her homework on the subject. Love Aurora's choice of study-perfect fit.
WOW a book hasn't touched me like this in a long time. I still have tears in my eyes as I finish this story.
There is so much to it: undercover, FBI, corrupt cops, disappearances, killings, puzzles, travel, love,  fireworks, Rt. 66, high profile crimes, adventure, mystery, bond Aurora and Donovan have as they spend a lot of time together and so much more!
Note from the author and acknowledgements.  Other works by the author are highlighted at the end.
Soundtrack of the Story there are so many here I've listened to and loved over the years.
Dedication noted also. About the author is enclosed. Excerpt from various books from others are included.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
