This book was absolutely amazing from someone who reads hundreds of psychological thrillers. Different than any other book I’ve ever read. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could!!

Good book, dark and psychological with good morals. Worth a read if you can stomach some tougher subjects and trickier themes.

SYNOPSIS

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.

MY THOUGHTS

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?!

TL;DR: ⭐️⭐️skip it, unless you’re into gratuitous violence & misogynistic writing.

Thanks to Montlake and Netgalley for this digital ARC in exchange for an honest review. This book is out now.
