Book Review: Return the Heart
Posted on August 26th, 2010 6 commentsBook Review for: Return the Heart
By: TK Richardson
You may recall TK Richardson (Website & Blog) from our author swap some time back. Well, guess what? She’s been busy writing and publishing her first book, Return the Heart. And you know what? It’s fabulous. This is a gal who has invested in her skill and it shows.
Lilly, the heroine, is well-developed, as is the rest of her ‘gang’ of new friends that have special, top secret talents. You know what motivates them, what their internal conflicts are, and all that high-tech writerly mumbo-jumbo. In other words, you totally get why each character acts the way they do and totally understand (and empathize) with the push-pull they feel at any given moment.
So, what’s up with Lilly anyway? Well, Lilly can read hearts. That is, she can look at someone (or a photo of someone) and read their feelings, histories, desires, and most telling, their secrets–good and bad. Her friends have similar, but unrelated talents, and together they mesh to create a powerful group that is wanted by agencies (both good and bad) around the world. But I’ve already told you enough. TK slowly doles out information in a way that intrigues the reader and causes them to want more and I don’t want to spoil that for you.
Watch for more from TK, and more in the series. (After reading the last chapter I emailed her and asked, so you totally led up to a sequel–is there one? The answer is yes. Yay!)

With the arrival of my Kindle I’ve only ordered online books. I really have to get my act together! I’ve read so many good things about this book and TK is an absolute sweetie! I’ll definitely get to it before the craziness of school starts! Thanks for the review!

I know the feeling. Once you have an e-reader, all you want to do is e-read. It’s so easy! You don’t even have to leave home to get a new book–or wait for it to come in the mail.

I loved it, too! Lots of details that are woven together into an exciting read.

She did do a good job of weaving details, didn’t she, Layinda?

Loved this book. It’s nice to see another review out there. I hope she does well, as she definitely has talent. I love how she weaved in the Russian history. It’s a culture you don’t read about often and I thought it added so much. Can’t wait for the second…

Yes, I love it when I learn while I read. I mean, er, learn while I am being entertained.
