I have followed Lilly's travails closely over the last four books and I am very disappointed with this one. It is essentially the third book cloned. Nothing has changed in the storyline since the end of the third short. This one starts with our heroine in the same position, being tormented by her abductor for similar imagined transgressions, there is a day of kindness that she enjoys and some new freedoms which are immediately taken away when she lies to Jeremy for no good reason, and then after wasting two weeks of solitude without accomplishing anything to forward her cause is once again trapped by the psychopath at the precise point the entire saga began. Now we have paid for 500 pages of a story that seems to be starting over. And there is no resolution in sight. How about a little character development? Edwards says in her notes that she is extending the next 3 episodes since we want longer stories but it makes no difference if we get the same story over and over again. And why is Lilly, Yale undergraduate not capable of helping herself in this crisis. With access to a fully stocked kitchen why hasn't she hidden a knife somewhere and stabbed this bastard by now. I .don't think I can handle another 500 pages of mental and physical abuse only to get a resolution in the last 12 pages. I certainly won't spend another 20 dollars finding some resolution. This is an interesting format but it's gone on way to long.
