Trigger warnings: Kidnapping, sexual abuse/assault, terrorism. 

I don't quite know why, but I had a really hard time connecting with the characters in this book. The storyline was strong, but I found myself not being able to root for anyone and not particularly caring how things turned out for them. Maybe it was just that I wasn't in the mood for this type of book at the time, I'm not sure. But at any rate, I found myself disappointed overall. Definitely not the worst thing I've read recently, but it wasn't particularly memorable especially where the characters were concerned.
