Sometimes the dark is beautiful, and without it, we wouldn't see the moon.
A thrilling story of two teenaged abductees surviving and unraveling what happened to them over time. Some twists I didn't quite predict, some false leads, a little romance. Could've used a little more editing, as some of the prose and plot felt discombobulated at times. Overall enjoyed it!

I don't like the pacing, the writing, the relationship between the characters.
I literally don't care about the misery or reasons behind the abduction, nor anything else happening.

In this book, we meet Evan and Noelle, our main characters. They first met when they are being held in cages next to each other and they both get “rented” at different times where they either have to sacrifice something of the other person or follow the man and have something done to themselves in order to protect the other. However, we soon realise that the two already know each other as it’s known that Evan’s father shot Noelle’s mother, after a rumoured affair - but was this really the case?
The two then work together to escape their captivity before going their separate ways to have time to themselves to try and process what happened to them, only for them to meet up again and have s** to try and forget what happened to them, only this ends up with consequences as when Noelle and Evan meet up 8 years later Noelle has a daughter - but is this daughter Evan’s?
It’s then revealed that Evan is a PI and he’s began looking into what happened to them to see if he can work out who was behind their crimes. It’s such a massive twist at the end and I could not believe that was how it ended!!
I would definitely read the book again!
