This book was a pretty good read.Warning:  There is some swearing in the book as well as some sexual content for those of you who don't like that in your stories.The book pretty much dealt with three main characters:  Melissa who wakes up in a tornado shelter or fruit cellar (in the ground separate from the house - Oklahoma) not remembering how she got there; the local sheriff, Lester, and his side kick Billy Ray.  Melissa's mother reports her missing & they spend the book trying to locate her or the person(s) who was last seen with her.  The chapters rotate with the police search and how Melissa is holding up in the cellar.  The story does end with a little twist - actually several things are a little surprising (although the ending & who ends up putting Melissa in the cellar from real life events I shouldn't have been too surprised)I didn't give this book a 5 because it was a little slow.  I am not sure that I really needed to know how Billy Ray hurt his foot (we know why but not the details & I would have assumed Lester already would have known).  There is also a passage about God - does he answer prayers or not which seemed a little out of place.  The characters were also people I couldn't really relate to because they were definitely from a small town (no offense anyone).  Lester was or could be a pistol.  I found him most likeable when he was with Harley, his dog.  Billy Ray seemed to be not too bright in my opinion which I suppose is how he was supposed to be.Overall though it was a pretty good read and I would definitely read another book by this author.
