My Review: 
 
CAUGHT is a rollercoaster ride with more twists and turns that you won’t want to get off until the train hits the end of the track! 
 
Seventeen-year-old Haley McWaid is a high school senior who goes missing.  She has never been in trouble before, gets good grades and just seems to vanish leaving her parents heart-stricken. 
 
Dan Mercer, is a social worker who works with trouble youth and receives word that a young girl is in trouble and could he meet her at her home to talk as she is shy.  When Dan arrives he realizes he’s been caught in a sting operation set up by t.v. report Wendy Tynes who is trying to expose sexual predators.  Dan soon finds himself caught up in something he had no intentions of getting caught up in and Wendy is thrown into a situation she just wasn’t prepared for.
 
This book reminded me of the television show on MSNBC with Rick Hansen where they monitor chat rooms online and set up meetings with alleged sexual predators of young kids.
 
This is a book not to be missed!
