ARC given for free by Netgalley for honest review.Mia Abbot-Renou is a 17yr old high school student with a politician father. He pretty much chooses his career over her and so she is left by herself quite often. She decides to get a fake ID and goes to a party alone to have a little fun. After a few drinks she meets a very handsome man and he offers to buy her a drink. He's in line talking to a friend of his and all she can think is how perfect his but is, so she takes a picture of it then send it to her best friend Ari.She hears sirens and people talking close by while she sleeps but hasn't yet opened her eyes. Shes cold not believing she didn't cover up before passing out but then she starts to feel the hard ground, smelling trees, and something strange. She hears someone trying to rouse her but the voices aren't familiar but as she opens her eyes she blinded by light. Shes told they are the police and to keep calm. Her eyes become blurry and starts remembering what has happened.There was someone on top of her smelling of whiskey and grunting while she struggled. She feels pain tearing her from the inside but she cant move because he's holding her hands above her head.She comes back to the present time, screaming and trying to escape. Her memory clears to show her that two police officers are there helping her and telling her shes safe but to stay awake in case of a concussion. They ask if there's someone that they can call and the only one she wants is her best friend Ari.She starts fading into her memories again as she shoves the blond man and runs. The dark haired one grabs her, lifts her up and slams her to the ground. She scrambles up but he kicks her hard then kneels over her, and hits her in the face. She goes to an in-between place, where shes aware of the world but can't react to it. Mia feels the pain between her legs like he's tearing her apart. The blonde man is back, takes his place but she tries to move, nothing happens and he flips her over then steps away. She lays there sobbing and all she can do is scream.She becomes historical when she comes back to the present feeling like shes going to be left alone in the middle of hell. The police help her and the male police officer Dom, seems sweet and reminds her of her grandpa. He lifts her and holds her close refusing to leave her. She feels an instant connection to him and he is the only thing keeping her sane at the moment. Does her father come to the rescue? Who are these men?I have to say this was a short read but so hard to review without telling the whole story. I DID NOT want to put this book down. The characters were believable and at times riveting. I was on the edge of my seat one minute and wanting to cover my eyes in others. GREAT WORK CHLOE!! I give this book a solid FIVE stars!!
