This book will leave the reader demanding more from this talented and gifted author. While reading this book, the structure was perfectly crafted and the characters' were so brilliantly written it truly set the foundation for more from each one and can easily make the reader become attached. Extremely well written and I am very surprised that I had not heard of this author before and even more surprised that this was the first book as I was hoping the author had more available for me to read.
Luckily there are more books on the way and I am anxiously waiting for the next installment. Sabrina by far caught my attention and from page one I knew that this book was a must read. The style which the author writes is what I believe makes the book a true masterpiece. I typically don't read this genre but now I am more open in reading more books of the genre as this book captured my emotions which is not an easy thing to do. I would go in with many fine details but certainly don't want to give anything away and urge the reader to purchase this book and explore the vivid characters of book one of the Drive Series!
Five stars does not come close to giving this must read justice! From being an author myself, I applaud Marina O'Brix and she has found a new fan in me.

I got this book by the author for a review. My review of this book is something I myself have gone through. The first paragraph got to me so much I had to read on. I laughed, felt sadness, was intrigued and gripped me to the core as I turned each page. I literally could not put the book down. Shameful as it seems, I had to put this book down and go to work; I felt like I could not wait to pick it up and find out what happened next. It says it is a mystery/suspense/thriller and please believes me when I say, it kept me wanting to know what happened to the characters. Sad to say, I have to wait for the second one but equally happy to hear this is a series. Looking forward to getting a reading the next one(s).
End conclusion of this review: Look if you are wanting a book that is gripping, suspenseful and keeps you coming back for more.
This is the book to get and read!

I got a book sent to me by the author to be reviewed. And this book was realistic. It is a story of a young girl going through life, and the obstacles she faces along the way. Kinda reminds me a bit of myself! I can connect with this book. I feel like I'm going through it as well. This is serious, a must-have.

Great story. It was almost as though I had literally gone back in time. Great plot, colorful characters, and not to mention that this story had also covered more than a wide range of issues.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good story.

This is the second book in The Drive Series . I got this book and sat down to read. The book took me right in the middle of Sabrina's life. Her father has gone missing for 6 yrs and her life has not been idealistic. Her step mom Debra hates her and treats her like a slave. It seems like she can't do anything right in Debra's eyes. Shelby is the daughter that is loved by Debra. Sabrina is on the hunt for answers and while hunting for answers she finds her mom and starts to rebuild her relationship with her. On the way she finds out that she is special. With the help of her friends and family. She will shine in the darkness and come out the other side happier.
The characters in this book are very well developed. Sabrina is the main character and man she goes on such a journey. She has so many trials as she tries to pull her life together. She tries to do the right thing by her family but the pain and terror is just too much for her. You watch her grow and become more independent as the story evolves. She becomes a strong young woman who will fight for anyone and everyone she loves.
The other cast members are a menagerie of good and bad. Debra is one of those characters that you really love to hate. She is so mean and you really just want to slap her upside the head for the way she treats Sabrina. Trust me I kind of cheered when she got what was coming to her.
Sybil is the supposed best friend but I found her to be a self indulgent spoiled brat. Who wants all the attention for herself. She seems not to want Sabrina to succeed at anything. I kind of wanted to give her a good spanking. She does break Sabrina's heart.
The rest of the characters are such a good diversity from her aunt and uncle to her mother. Also all the people that she meets and helps her along the way. This book was a fast read for me . I sat down and started reading . The book takes you on a journey where you find out who your friends are and what you are willing to do to find the love and family that you have been craving your life. There are just a couple of things that could be just a little bit more . The reconnection with her mother, I think that there should just be a little bit of not getting along. I mean she did leave Sabrina. Also when her father came home there was some discord but I think it should of been just a little bit more. Other then that the book read well and flowed good. The characters will grab you and suck you in. You will cheer and shed a tear for Sabrina. You will love her and hate some of the other characters. So if you want an enjoyable read to add to your reading list this summer check it out .

The continuing story of Sabrina, her family and friends, and her search for her real mother, aided by her special gifts
September 4, 2017
Format: Paperback
I received this as a gift.
This is a continuation of the first novel in the “Drive” series, “Her Million Miles,” where we are first introduced to the characters of Sabrina, Sybil, Debra, Sophia, Jackson, Bo, Moon Dog, Judy, and others, and it jumps straight into the story. Sabrina is in high school and is in search of her long-lost mother and father, Sophia and Jackson. Through one event after another, eventually she meets up again with them both, aided and abetted by certain magical, even “mystic” powers that come as they are needed and leave when they are done. Sabrina must endure many painful circumstances, but eventually she discovers the safety of her own, true family, where she is protected and loved.
The writing style again is mostly present tense, helping the reader experience the story as in-the-moment. There are a few new characters, but mostly we see and learn about the people from the first book in the series, with some having an expanded role.
Because there is not so much backstory, this book moves at a rapid clip to explain the story of Sabrina and her search for, and discovery of, her parents.
