An autism cure will kill millions unless a service dog and his trainer find a missing child...in 24 hours.

An auntsearches for her lost nephew - and dooms her sister.

A mom gambles a miracle will cure - and not kill - her child.

A dog finds his true purpose - when he disobeys.

Animal behaviorist September Day has lost everything - husband murdered, career in ruins, confidence shot - and returns home with her trained Maine Coon cat, Macy, to Texas to recover. She's forced out of hibernation when her nephew Steven and his autism service dog Shadow disappear in a freak blizzard. When her sister trusts a maverick researcher's promise to help Steven, September has 24 hours to rescue them from a devastating medical experiment impacting millions of children, a deadly secret others will kill to protect. As September races the clock, the body count swells. Shadow does his good-dog duty but can't protect his boy. Finally September and Shadow forge a stormy partnership to rescue the missing and stop the nightmare cure. But can they also find the lost parts of themselves?

His thoughts while trying to befriend then save his young autistic person will grip your heart. What mothers will do to try and help their autistic children is heartbreaking. The people who are promising help heartless and greedy!! They will do anything to keep their cure going under the radar and the money flowing.The ending will astonish you.

A lot of sadness in this first book in the series, but also much intrigue. For awhile I thought I had missed the first book, as there are references to the past of a couple characters that took awhile to learn more. And that turned out to be okay. Very much like Shadow, a dog in the series, and Macy the cat. Interesting yet complicated main character, with a complicated family. A couple other characters that I suspect will continue to surface in future books. A good beginning to what I hope will remain an interesting series.

After reviewing my list of authors who write novels featuring K-9's, I decided to try Amy Shojai. I liked that Ms. Shoal had experience as an animal behaviorist and trainer. I believed her background would result in a well -developed dog character. I started my exploration of Amy Shojai with the first book in her September Day series, Lost and Found. I found that I was correct in my assumptions. Lost and Found is an exciting and entertaining "dog lover's medical thriller". Both September Day and the service dog, Shadow are well-developed and loveable characters. I am not a cat-lover but even her "trained" house-cat, Macy was charming! It helped that Amy Shojai included snippets of Shadow' s thoughts in the story. It reminded me of Rita Mae Brown's Mrs. Murphy series, where all the animals and a few birds, play an integral part in solving the mystery.

I was surprised by the mix reviews this book received. Many of the items others objected to, (such as Shadow's perspective and a convoluted plot), were what I found enjoyable. I was intrigued by the premise for the story, and found the many subplots, "red herrings" and "Easter eggs" kept me glued to the pages for fear I might miss something important. As one reviewer noted on Amazon, "nothing in this book is done on accident, Amy Shojai is extremely clever..." Clever is a great way to describe Amy Shojai's first attempt at writing a fiction thriller.

September and Shadows adventures are only starting in Lost and Found. While the book ended without any cliffhangers, Amy Shojai made it clear that September and Shadows transformation (or mental and spiritual growth and development) is not yet completed; a perfect way of ensuring a storyline can continue to grow into a an exciting series.

Lost and Found is a good series starter. I predict that Amy Shojai September Day series will continue to better with each novel in the series. Pick up Lost and Found and see what you think.

September Day has returned home to a small, north Texas town after losing her husband. She is dealing with PTSD and doesn't get out much. She's also an animal behaviorist and is trying to set up a dog training business. But everything takes a back seat when her autistic nephew and his service dog, who's being trained by September, go missing in a freak blizzard. Upon arriving to help, September soon learns that all is not as it seems and she discovers a conspiracy that people will kill to keep quiet.

I really enjoyed this book which is a heartwrenching thriller and a riveting start to a new series. The book's well-written with well-rounded characters, some of whom you'll like and others you won't. The story will pull you in from the beginning and keep you captivated until the end. You won't want to put the book down. I'm really looking forward to more from this series and highly recommend this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pay Attention! Frenetic action and overload of charachters.
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2019

I kept waiting for a commercial. This was very fast paced with multiple characters coming and going, very much like a screen play minus the actors' directions. Not the type of book if you are looking to relax and enjoy the scenery. This required paying attention to little details and innuendo. I did like the fleshed out characters and loved the animals, but felt like too many murders overshadowed the story line. Thus the 3 stars and not 4. Still a good book and well written, for the style of writing. Don't know if I will read the complete series, but do have #2 on my list.

I really enjoyed reading this story- it was entertaining and hard to put down. I love thrillers and this one did not disappoint! The storyline was exciting, the characters were interesting, and I loved the added subplot coming from a dog's perspective. It really added to the story rather than being weird. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

I liked this first entry to the September Day series. It took a while before we get to know her better, and a while longer to learn what was going on. In this story, the main character is under pressure to find her lost nephew (who is autistic) in a snow storm. In addition she must also locate an important USB key. There are a lot of story lines going on in this book, but they all come together in the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars mixed feelings about this book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 21, 2019
Verified Purchase
I received a free copy of this book via voracious readers in exchange for review. Initially I found the book hard to get into. The chapters written from the dogs perspective just annoyed me and did not make sense, but perhaps that is because I am not a dog lover. Once the book got going and I got into the story it proved to be very good with plenty of action and made me want to read to the end. I did however find most of the characters, including the main character supremely annoying. I was left with mixed feelings which was unusual for me since I normally know within a few chapters what I think of a book, however; I intend to read the next book before deciding one way or the other whether this series is worth following.

5.0 out of 5 stars the friends and loved ones willing to help
Reviewed in India on July 8, 2017

A lovely story! Very well scripted and interesting. A credible story line with well delineated characters. This book just has it all....an autistic child, the angst of a parent, the friends and loved ones willing to help, and then you have the greed and ruthlessness of others. Amy Shojai's understanding of human nature is what holds the reader glued to the book. but it is the young German Shepard, Shadow's perspective, that i found most interesting, and the highlight of the book for me. This is one author to look out for!!
I received this book as a gift and have voluntarily reviewed it.

I found this book difficult to into , but persevered because I rarely give up on a book.
The first few chapters introduced different parts of the story that seem completely different stories, but then they all joined up together to make the final completed story. Which in actual fact was pretty good.
So download, and don't give up!

A totally awesome noveal. It has you locked between wonder, disappontment, anger and frustration throughout. A totallling engrossing story of the love of parents for their mentalling disturbed offspring and the lengths they are willing to go to love their childrenn even more than normal. A thoroughly great read.
