Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

S.S. Lange was the kid that hid under the covers with a flashlight, reading until far past her bedtime. She’s also the kid that sometimes had a pencil and paper under those covers. She’s traded the flashlights and notebooks for a laptop and smartphone, although she still does some of her best reading and writing planning under the covers.

Her writing is done on pure passion and caffeine. She writes suspense novels that are sometimes gritty, occasionally funny (intentional or not, you decide), and chock full of chatty characters.

When she’s not writing or thinking about writing (okay fine, she’s always thinking about it), she enjoys running, reading, and anything with her kids. She’s addicted to coffee and country music and lives in southern New Hampshire with her husband, three daughters, two dogs, two ponies, a bunch of goats, a few chickens, and a rabbit.

LONG LOST has a great plot along with well-developed characters

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2014

S.S. Lange’s debut book is a well written, gritty, fast paced novel. I would have given this book a 4.5 star rating if there was such a rating but there isn't so I rounded up to a deserving 5. LONG LOST has a great plot along with well-developed characters, emphasized by the fact that I was getting upset at the main character at times for her poor decisions along with cheering her on for her good ones. Not being one to write spoilers, I will only say S.S. Lange did a great job leaving me wanting more with the ending she chose for the book. Looking forward to the next book in the Charlotte Hayes series!

This book is good read, I liked it well enough. While I normally try to stay away from serials I will probably get the rest of the series so I can find out what happens to Charlotte. I gave it 4 stars only because I found somethings in the plot that seemed a little off to me I won't go into detail because I don't want to ruin the book for anyone it really isn't a big issue anyway just a couple of thoughts I had while reading. It is a good book for a lazy Sunday afternoon

Addicted to the Charlotte Hayes series

If you're looking for a series that you can't put down, buy the Charlotte Hayes series. I started the first book at around 6pm and read the entire thing by 1am, there was no way I could go to bed without knowing what was going to happen next. If I were a robot and didn't need sleep I would have started the 2nd book as well. Every page makes your heart race with anticipation of what's about to happen next. Charlotte is definitely a character you start to love right away. She is bad ass, highly intelligent, sarcastic and fights better than most men. Love these books, if you couldn't tell. Purchase the series now!

Ambitious cop-to-be takes on her disfunctional family and still can't shake that hometown happiness

Nice. Charlotte is developed in innocence, tried by fire, and pushed reluctantly over and over again into the broil of pain that she never saw coming.

You'll appreciate the pain she suffers, because she uses it as fuel for her revenge. It just takes a long time and lots of chapters to see her make progress. Not the quickest-paced novel on the shelf, but clues and hints come along just when needed in order to keep returning to this read.

Surely this was written as an intended series, what with the non-ending ending.

Sexually graphic, misogynist behavior throughout - if you enjoy the crude and vulgar actions of amoral punks and the upstanding forces of anti-crime set to bring them to justice, along with our heroine and her massive chip on her shoulder, give this one a go. Just be ready for the tried-and true love interest woven into nary each chapter, for balance I suppose.

A Great Series Opener

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2017

Long Lost is the first in a series about Charlotte Hayes. While visiting her long lost sister in Minnesota, the two wind up in trouble. Big trouble. Charlotte is emotionally scarred from the event, which was difficult to read. Much of the second half of the novel deals with the ramifications of the event and her raw journey to recovery. Charlotte has even larger problems looming over her. She is being targeted by a gangster with a grudge. Long Lost does a great job establishing the characters in this series and lays the groundwork for a larger story arc that will continue at least into the next book. Charlotte is a very real character with issues that are not easily resolved. S.S. Lang has created a series with great potential. It should be noted that the book is sometimes harrowing and the language is pretty strong.

This was an extremely difficult book to read. The topics covered were very graphic. I know this happens to many women each day and that makes it even more difficult. The book was well written.

This book will cause visceral reactions.

It deals with some very strong subjects that can be difficult to read.

I spent a good portion of this book mad. Mad at the author. Mad at the characters. There were so many times I wanted to just quit reading the book but then couldn't put it down.

As an author myself I can appreciate the skill that it takes to elicit those kinds of feelings from a reader so while I wanted to put it down it just drew me in even more.

This is not a feel good thriller but it does have many thrilling points throughout the story. The heroine is thrust into a life altering situation which I expected to be glossed over as a lot of authors tend to do but not in this case. You're taken along for the entire gut retching ordeal and then through the aftermath of the traumatic event.

I only wish that this book would have been a self-contained unit in the series. I like series but prefer that each book have a clear defined ending. This is book one in the journey of the heroine's life that may span unknown books.

If you want a book that gets your blood pumping and causes internal debates then this is a book you need to read.

Love S.S. Lange and the characters she has created

Okay I'm hooked on this new series. Just bought the next three books. Charlotte is a believable and flawed character. She goes to meet the sister she didn't know existed. They gave same father. While visiting Charlotte finds a web Of drug selling, prostitution and a sister involved in it all. The story is raw, gritty, and guard to read in placed but ultimately she finds redemption, grows a few years, and by the end is quite likable. So much that I want to find out more. Go ahead and take the chance. You can get the first three books in a set for $5.99 and the fourth is $2.99.
