This book was just ok for me. The whole idea of the story intrigued me, especially the Navy SEAL part, but it just felt like it didn't really go anywhere for me. I hate writing negative reviews, but I felt like the story was really underdeveloped and rushed.The story never really went anywhere. It never had a peak that it worked up toward. I think the rescue of Annie could have been that peak, but it just ended up being really rushed and anticlimactic. I felt like that whole part of the book could have been drawn out into a story with really great action and drama, but it just didn't. It all seemed way too easy. Everything after that just felt forced and rushed.I didn't really feel too much while reading. I felt a lot of anger for Annie's dad, but even that didn't really go anywhere. Annie and Pat's romance didn't feel genuine to me. Even Annie's memories of her being captured and held against her will for 5 years didn't evoke too much emotion from me. Maybe it was the way it was written, but I just didn't get that connection that I hope to feel when I read stories with such a serious topic.
