What a frightening story! This is one of those books that completely swallow you up, never letting the tension ease. The reader is really taken in by the whole plot, and although it's violent it's hard to put down.The story line is complex, full of twists and turns that I will not reveal since I do not want to ruin the experience for anyone else, but I can tell you it's a book that is hard to put down once you start. What's the most frightening is that it is not a far-fetched story, it could and does happen to people all the time. There are a few rape scenes in the novel, so it might not be the best read for younger teens or for those of you who are affected by those reading those types of scenes. There is a lot of violence on top of that, but it is not gratuitous and they never feel "fake".Jack, the villain, is a very interesting character. His personality is complicated enough to make it difficult for the reader to know what to feel about him. we want to hate him, and yet, it never seems possible. The main character, Kate, is a strong female one, who does her best to get out of the situation she is in.If you want a powerful story that will shock you with every page turn, this is one for you.
