After reading the fantastic Captive in the Dark by CJ Roberts and Consequences by Aleatha Romig I am constantly on the lookout for similar books.  I don't know what to call them.  Dark Romance? Psycholigical Thrillers? Messed up?  Anyway they involve a woman being kidnapped by a really bad guy and I mean bad he does awful things, but in a way you can't help but fall for him a bit like Caleb in Captive and Tony in Consequences.  So I was thrilled when I came across this book in a group at Goodreads.  I won't re-hash the blurb as it does a fantastic job and I don't want to give away any spoilers and there is so much potential to do that.Jack Thompson is that bad guy in this book and when I say he is bad I mean he is very bad.  Can the reader fall for him like Tony and Caleb?  I'm not sure but there were many times when I was wishing Kate would just behave and not upset him anymore.  Messed up I know but you just can't help yourself from thinking that.This book may not be for everyone.  Please take my warning seriously when I say this as there are scenes of violence, rape and child abduction that may upset readers.  Chosen has lots of twists and turns.  There are so many lies going on that you don't know who or what to believe but it is a thrilling journey none the less.  One I found very difficult to put down on an evening.  Sleep who needs sleep?  I really really enjoyed it and if this is your sort of book to read then I highly recommend you read it too.  I enjoyed Ms Elsborg's writing style and I'm excited to have found a new author to read, even better she lives in my part of the world.  This is a book that I will think about for days and I am giving Chosen 5 spine chilling stars.
