The plot was FANTASTIC. I've read a lot of stories about foster children, but never anything quite like what happens in Mito. I never even realized that medical kidnap could very well be a thing happening "behind the scenes" in foster care, but after reading this book my mind is blown. I just. Wow. I don't want to go into a whole lot of detail so I think I might stop this review here, but, gah. I can't even form words I'm so freaking mind blown.
This book was amazing!!

Praise for Mito
—Is it paranoia or….reality? Readers will draw their own conclusions, but the question will linger in their minds long after they finish this book. I’m most anxious to see where this story will take us in the sequel, EDS.
—A phenomenal read! The story line is both exasperating and inspiring. Is it a conspiracy or crazy thoughts? You have to read to the end to know for sure.
—I thoroughly enjoyed Mito. I didn’t want to put any it down.
—The incipient relationship between Gabriel and Renata, both in awful situations, was fascinating and I was intrigued by the very original theme of the book. I hope it really is a work of fiction!
