- Two seniors in high school, Noelle & Evan, have been kidnapped. They are locked in cages, and they are part of a sadistic game. It also turns out that Noelle & Evan know each other, and their families don’t have the best past. This portion covers about the first third of the book.
- After they get out, some time passes in the book, and they reunite to try to figure out who was behind it all.
- This was actually pretty bad. I wouldn’t call it a psychological thriller. It fits more in horror genre mixed with romance.
- Definitely check out trigger warnings because this book is A LOT.
- If you’re into gratuitous violence & torture, this one may be for you. That’s not my thing, so I didn’t enjoy it.
- There isn’t much character development either. Characters felt very one-dimensional. Overall, the whole book fell flat for me. Not a satisfying ending. The romance between Noelle & Evan is just weird & based on trauma they went through together.
- So many tropes & cliches in this one.
- About 99% of the plot is completely unbelievable.
- I also have a personal pet peeve with how many times the author used the phrase “took her virginity” re: Noelle. Virginity is a social construct. I mean, JFC, can we please stop using this phrase in 2024, particularly in reference to a teenage trafficking victim being raped?!
