BEHIND THE STARS

 Readers are saying…

“FIVE STARS: Very interesting and easy to fall into. As you read it gets more and more interesting, and I loved all the build up and excitement to the end. It ended just as I hoped it would, and the whole “Lord of The flies” with the boys was great!” –Mom with a Kindle

"I was drawn into the story and didn’t want to put it down… I loved it, and I will be looking for more from this author in the future." –New Adult Addiction

"Exciting, filled with action and adventure, and with just enough romance that it didn't drive the story, but it most definitely will satisfy those who love a great love story.” –Roxy’s Reviews

"FIVE STARS: A wonderful read with suspense, drama, romance, and even a band of what I call the demented lost boys." –What’s Beyond Forks

Behind the Stars
By Leigh Talbert Moore
© 2014, Leigh T. Moore

The guards moved among us, placing dentist-office Dixie cups of what looked like water in front of everyone. A separate guard came to where I sat on the floor, clutching my knees. She lightly took my arm.
“Please return to the table.” Her voice was smooth. “You’ve had a shock. Have some water.”
I wasn’t about to drink anything they gave us. It was Day One all over again, only this time, it was Guyana. We were all being served the Kool-Aid. Next stop, mass graves.
Stupidly, my friends and fellow prisoners had no such qualms. Didn’t anybody watch the History channel? I stared as they all took shaky sips without hesitation.
“Just take a small sip.” The female guard was still with me. “It’ll calm you.”
My throat constricted. My whole body was on revolt. Shaking my head, I didn’t meet her eyes. I only stared at the white cup of water. Braxton was at my side, and he drained his. What the hell made him do that? Did he want to die?
Seconds ticked past and nothing happened. Nobody passed out. Nobody did anything strange—except forget what we’d just witnessed here. Braxton picked up his fork to finish his lunch. They all did. Like one of us had not just been taken out “swiftly and finally.”
Only he had, and I was reeling from the shock.

Prentiss

“Hearing that story makes me wish I could have been the one to protect you,” he said.
“I don’t need your protection,” I sniffed. “I’m little, but I can take care of myself.”
“Everyone needs help. Sometimes.” He reached up and slid the hair back from his face exposing the scar on his cheek.
I didn’t know how to answer that. I still didn’t know how he’d gotten those scars, but more than that, I didn’t know who I wanted protecting me now.
I stepped through the fence. “I guess this is good-night,” I whispered.
“Sleep well, doctor.”
I shook my head and sneaked past the cabins across the dark yard and into the dormitory. Once inside I stood for several minutes with my face pressed against the doorjamb.
Why was this happening? I wasn’t this kind of person. Other girls got their feelings all mixed up over boys, but I didn’t. That question had been settled in my mind years ago, and yet here I was acting like a starry-eyed little twit. I was failing in my job to rescue us. Everyone was counting on me, and here I was useless, fighting this battle with myself. I had to get it together. I had to get myself back on track, for all of us.

My Review
Why was this happening? I wasn’t this kind of person. Other girls got their feelings all mixed up over boys, but I didn’t. That question had been settled in my mind years ago, and yet here I was acting like a starry-eyed little twit . I was failing in my job to rescue us. Everyone was counting on me, and here I was useless, fighting this battle with myself. I had to get it together. I had to get myself back on track, for all of us.

This is my first time reading a Leigh Talbert Moore book, and I am officially a fan. I loved this series so much. It was so different and unique, I didn't know what to expect. From beginning to end I was hooked, I couldn't wait till I had the next episode in my hands. The story it self, flowed at the perfect pace. There was always something happening to keep you intrigued. All the characters in this series were beautifully written. The main character Prentiss has her future all worked out, until she is taken captive. She is then forced to take action, to help her friends and family escape an unknown future. While in the midst of planning her escape, she devises a plan to get all the information she can from her Captives. Which leads her to my favorite character, Gallatin. Oh where do I even begin. I was on the fence with him at the beginning, because I didn't want anything or anyone coming between Prentiss and her boyfriend Jackson. But as the story goes on, Gallatin grew on me. I hated that he did, but I couldn't help it. He is quiet, sweet and absolutely sexy in his own way. There is just something about him that draws you in. If you are wondering, Yes this series does have a Love Triangle. I am not a fan of them to be honest, but the way it was written and betrayed in this series, was perfect for the story. Just when you think you know who she ends up with, you would be wrong. I wanted so much to love both guys. I did for a while. Then as the story continues, secrets are revealed and futures are not as certain as they once were. Your heart will break for Prentiss with everything she has gone through and is still going through. Her choices are not the easiest to make, but she makes them, knowing that she is doing what she knows in heart to be right. The ending of this series was absolutely perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better ending. I really hope that Leigh Talbert Moore continues Prentiss's story. There is so much more to be told.

I highly recommend this series. You will not be disappointed.
