I stumbled on this book and I am soo glad I did. I was on the edge of my seat the ENTIRE time! Finished it in a day.
The strength and resilience in these women- incredible. It was very emotional.

I mean I have absolutely no clue how to review this book because so much happened I don't even know where to begin.
First of all, the message this book carries regarding human trafficking is so STRONG and I would recommend everybody to read it for this reason alone. Not enough is spoken about these real realities of life and definitely unheard of in fiction books.
- The writing was great and the plot was so unique to me. I was so interested in Jane's backstory and her life and I couldn't imagine what she was going through.
- I thought the character development could be better. I wanted more from Lenn and why he choose Jane and what happened to Jane number one. I feel like this would have added more substance to the story.
- I think the ending was alright. I didn't find anything wrong with it but I wasn't gripped like I was in the first half of the book.
Overall, a decent thriller that will keep you guessing. This book has strong messages behind the writing and I think any thriller fan would enjoy this.
I received this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

A taut, grim and satisfying thriller of human trafficking, imprisonment and abuse. The tension racks up from the very first page and continues throughout, there's a couple of neat twists but the ending felt a little undercooked.

HER HUSBAND CALLS HER JANE
THAT IS NOT HER NAME
Blurb
She lives in a small farm cottage, surrounded by vast, open fields. Everywhere she looks, there is space. But she is trapped. No one knows how she got to the UK: no one knows she is there. Visitors rarely come to the farm; if they do, she is never seen.
Her husband records her every movement during the day. If he doesn't like what he sees, she is punished.
For a long time, escape seemed impossible. But now, something has changed. She has a reason to live and a reason to fight. Now, she is watching him, and waiting . . .
Review
This is a great thriller. The story is very simple but powerful. It reminded me of Room by Emma Doneghue.
Imagine being captive in an open prison. Freedom is only a few miles away across flat fields of green but you are restricted by strict routine, cameras watching constantly and a physical injury that limits your movement, living in a remote area, your only chance of escape is to speak to a person who stumbles across your property but will you be brave enough to speak?
This story is shocking and terrifying, and some of the chapters made me want to jump in the pages and drag Jane away from all the torture.
