I can’t remember how I got Gem Stone by Dale Mayer, but it was published October 12, 2012, and, after reading it, I wonder why I waited so long to read it.

MY REVIEW
Uh Oh. Gemma Stone is in the wrong place at the wrong time and taking photos, no less. From juvie to a halfway home…
But…they messed with the wrong kids when they messed with Gem and her friends.
I love this motley group and their loyalty to each other. One for all and all for one. These kids took me o n one wild ride right to the very end.
Love the environmental angle slipped in and the photography.
The suspense is different from what I expected, in an awesome way.
The writing riveting and captivated me beginning to end.
The characters are fabulous and I love how the ‘family’ came together.
Touchy subject…foster children.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Gem Stone by Dale Mayer.
GOODREADS BLURB
A juvie kid trying to stay on the right path stumbles into trouble…
Gemma takes her camera everywhere. From juvie hall to a halfway home, the new hobby gives her a focus she’d never had before and… hope in a future. Until she takes pictures of something that could get her killed.
And not just her…after she and another juvie girl are chased by a stranger to the halfway home that same night, the other girl goes missing and Gemma knows she needs help. But who can she trust?
Not the authorities that’s for sure. Trusting them is impossible for a girl with her damaged history, and besides, who cares about a troubled kid…especially when trouble just naturally seems to find her.
