This story read like a suspenseful roller coaster that kept climbing higher and higher. While I'm not typically a fan of mysteries, I am a fan of fast-paced stories and complex character dynamics. The poor character, Nina, very much represents the uglier side of reality that we all must go through in order to achieve our goals - acting as an escort to pay for her college - but she gets tangled up a deadly game of human-trafficking and becomes an unlikely hero. "Taken", the movie, is the only resource I've experienced about this subject and Forbes has really spun an even more interesting, and terrifying, light on it with this novel.
