Adeline is home for the summer, she's looking forward to relaxing with her friends and family, and pursuing her other interests her dogs and reading. While attending the gay pride march supporting a friend, she sees a bruised and battered girl who she tries to help. When two men appear Adeline is at first grateful, until she realises they're not there to help they are who this poor girl is running from. Rather than leave Adeline behind to talk, they take her as well. This is just the beginning of Adeline's life becoming hell on earth.The author states she has researched this distressing subject thoroughly and it shows. This story has the feel of realisam running all the way through. This is one of those stories I'm glad I've read, while at the same time wishing I hadn't. The characters are so believeable, the men who run the sex slave ring are evil personified and are portrayed very well. I also thought the girls who were prisoners along with Adeline were very well represented from Rochelle who believed she was living the good life and thought she was loved by one of the men. To some of the others who just blindly accepted their fate. Adeline who refused to bend to her captors will was treated very badly, at times it made it difficult to read.My only gripe is I thought the ending was rushed, an epilogue showing the future and letting the readers see how Adeline's life was panning out, was definitely needed. If you are at all offended by very explicit content then this may not be for you. The author does give a warning.
