A stranger follows you home, look at you eyes to eyes when the door closing and instead of feeling creepy, you offer her a nice room in your house, and treats her like a life savior? Even PAY her? I’m sorry but it’s quite far-fetched and culture shock for me. I stopped at chapter 16 and took a little excursion to the ending just to find out that I was right to stop.

It was okay, went by quickly, almost too quickly with the most short chapters I've seen in a while (expect to flip the page OFTEN). I'm not sure I would run to read the author's next book, but it wasn't awful.

I’m not sure why there are so many somewhat negative reviews for this book, I absolutely loved it! I’ve loved all of B.A. Paris’ books and The Prisoner was no exception. I loved that it got going and had you hooked from the start and didn’t take a long time to get going as some thrillers do. It was a fast paced, quick read and I found myself not wanting to put it down as I had to know what happened next. It really kept you guessing and was full of exciting twists and suspense. I’m somewhat torn on the ending, I do like that it left your imagination open to kind of fill in and imagine what could happen next, although I partially wish there would have been an epilogue detailing the future and what came next for Amalie. Overall, an excellent and exciting read and I’m so thankful I was able to read it early - special thanks to NetGalley and St. Martins Press for the advance copy!

I wanted to like this one soooo much. I really thought she'd go back to her Behind Closed Doors days with this book, but unfortunately it just didn't work for me. Our main character was annoying, the ending was meh, and the story just wouldn't keep my attention.
