"It was very dark but interesting read"
Alice May
"I liked the way it was written and the topic more than the actual characters. I could only read the first half. I haven't wanted to slap a character so hard since I read Tess of the d'Urbervilles."
Jelly Jinxx
"A deep dive into the abductor and abductees minds. It's easy to say what you would do in this situation but once youre there anything could happen. Great book!"

"This thriller was so interesting to see the perspectives of the two main characters. Really cool to see how different they express themselves and more."
