Final Straw (An action, adventure, survival series for children, middle grade, teen and young adult): Amber's Story (Urban Hunters Book 8)
€œWow.... Urban Hunters just gets better and better....
This is Amber's story and it is not all sunshine and light. There is a good deal of darkness and sadness. A good deal of loss. Yet, Amber is surviving. She refuses to be a victim. She has fortitude, she has pluck, and she seems to intuit that there will be better days.
This is a deeply felt, even loving story. Even as Mr Taaffe is telling it in much of it's grim detail, you feel he has his arms around Amber and is trying to help her through, as are we. Bravo, Sir! A splendid addition to your tale.€ New York Book Review- WD La Rue
€œIt's exciting how Gary highlighted Amber in this instalment. It€s extremely awesome! One of the best, young adult books in our generation.€ JB Cacdac, Singapore Review of Books
Amber€s idyllic life is turned on its head in a horrible twist of fate. She must now decide, fight for a life of her own or remain a victim at the hands of her mother.
€œSo well told. Truly emotional. Great ending!€ Anne, Editor Australia
€œMasterpiece Gaz. A must read.€ Ann, UK Book Reviews
€œTaaffe's series is a wonderful action series for boys and girls who don't mind a little grit in their stories.€ Tammy and Alex Dewhurst, Canada
€œThese characters are so likeable and the message is so humane and positive. I am so tired of literature full of anger, angst and cruelty. I find this entire series uplifting. You won't find vampires, werewolves, magic etc. Just plain old folk relating to each other and their environment and doing the best they can with what they have. What can I say? I love this series and look forward to it's continuation. Read these books. Enjoy!!€ New York Book Review- WD La Rue
URBAN HUNTERS is laugh-out-loud, gut-churning, heart-wrenching storytelling at its best. Unlike anything you€ve ever read, in typical Taaffe fashion. Hilarious as usual. Always surprising. Wonderful!
