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!

“We leave here whole. We leave here together.”

Noelle Meyer and Evan Sinclair are enemies and have been at odds since Evan’s dad shot and killed Noelle’s mom. Now, both have been kidnapped and are being held captive in adjoining cells as part of a twisted online game run by an unknown syndicate who enjoy torturing their captives. Noelle and Evan must choose whether to be tortured themselves or whether to escape torture by inflicting it on the other. Despite their past, they work together to escape and, years later, come together again to try to unmask the person behind the syndicate known only as The Collector.” 

This book is INTENSE and is often very dark but it is so unbelievably good. It’s like the DaVinci Code meets Saw meets the Notebook (seriously) and I could not put it down!

The only thing I was caught up on was how the main characters came to loving each other. While it was clear they had a connection and they discussed how their shared trauma could interfere with a healthy relationship, the admission of love felt almost rushed and lil out of place. But the plot had me on my ass trying to finish it, I was hooked.

Moderate: Sexual content and Rape

This book did not graphically describe the rape that occurred; however, it is confirmed various times that both characters had been raped/sexually assaulted.
