The Bus to Beulah is a tense, gripping and fast-paced thriller but also thought provoking! It made me think about immigration and human trafficking laws and their enforcement, the treatment of migrant workers and a few more! It's well written with an interesting plot and we'll developed characters! The only thing I wish there was more of was Maria. There wasn't as much about her as I thought there would be. But Will's character I did get to know and I really enjoyed his determination to find Maria despite his hesitation to work with Elijah. Overall it was a good read.

Thank you Booksparks and E.C. Hanes for sharing this story with me!

I was looking forward to reading this book. I have read a handful of books where human trafficking was the subject matter. It is a topic that I am glad to see get more spotlight shown on it as it is a very serious matter that people need to be aware of. Just like illegal drug trafficking.

Sadly, I found myself not enjoying this book as much as I had hoped to. This is because I found myself really struggling to connect to the characters. In addition, that I was hoping that Maria's voice would be the prominent one in this story. She was not featured but Will and the kidnappers were the voices. If Maria's voice had been prominent, I think my feelings towards this book would have improved as it would have made it more of an intimate character driven story.… (meer)
