The Size of Nobodies by Amanda Mack was provided in E-form for review.

This is a difficult book to categorize, it doesn't fit neatly into any box. I find this to be a good thing. It reduced the attempt of the reader to pigeon hole this story, and make no mistake, this is a good story. 

Our hero here is Siege (interesting name eh?), an unemployed, mildly agoraphobic (she is uncomfortable in crowds) woman determined to be self-sufficient despite her wealthy, somewhat over involved parents. She is strongly connected to her foster brother Avi. A strong story of familial bonds between people who choose to be family. Not family by an accident of birth. 

The explanation of the interconnections of all the players in this story is much too intricate to try to explain in a short(ish) review. Suffice to say, Siege has a strong support system.

The story revolves around the consequences of her attempt to be financially better off. She ends up involved in a confusing (to her) mix of abduction, trafficking and political intrigue. She tries to protect a unique young girl to whom she becomes strongly attached. At the same time she tries to support Avi's search for his long lost brother.  

The reader gets a story that is at once a mystery, adventure, quasi-spy exploration of relationships. A lot to offer in one book to be sure. Readers of my reviews know that I avoid spoilers even more than I avoid the dreaded, detested, cliffhanger. So you won't find any here. But I will share that this is a fast-paced, engrossing story. Well crafted structurally both in story-line and character development. 

This is the first work I have read by this author and I find her storytelling to be of high quality. I look forward to reading more from her.

Give The Size of Nobodies by Amanda Mack a look, it is definitely worth your time. Enjoy!
