I kept on setting this down to read something else because I just wasn't getting into it. After about 100 pages I found I wanted to see what was going to happen.
Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this book. This was a page turner! I could not put this book down. Well written and had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I highly recommend this book and will be looking for this author in the future.
3.5 stars. The first half of this book was extremely fast paced, but the second half dulled in comparison and had all the predictable elements of a psycho killer novel. Overall it's a good read.
And really, barely 2 stars. This is a horror/slasher book. If you are the least bit squeamish, stay far, far away. I was very disappointed because the reviews were good. I only gave it two stars because I finished it, and really, I should have just put it down. Supreme gore fest.
I wanted to like this more, and while I liked it, I think I'm just not interested in this genre' anymore. I don't want to know all the gory details of a serial killer. If you like that, this will be a good book for you.
An engaged couple, Kristine and Daniel, are on their way to a family 4th of July celebration. Traveling through the desert, from Las Vegas to Lake Arrowhead, CA, they stop at a rest stop after coffee is spilled on Kristine. While there, Daniel is abducted and Kristine is attacked. The abductor tells Kristine that she must do awful things if she ever wants to see Daniel again. Her young daughter's safety is also on her mind as she makes this harrowing trip to save Daniel.
I was very suspicious of the story from the beginning, but was surprised at the depravity of the abductor.

Ok this was a thousand times better than I expected. Usually when I pick up a small book I have little to no expectations so I don’t get disappointed. It had way more action and twists and turns than a 500 page novel. I literally had my face in a shocked position throughout the majority of the book. Super unpredictable and got me in my feelings. HELL YES GIRL YOU TAKE HIM DOWN.
