Very, very dark psychological thriller/ horror. Covers topics of torture, human trafficking and trauma. Very intriguing read, gripping, shocking and deeply disturbing, it will keep you holding on to the end. Not for the fainthearted.

Best friends Sarah and Jennifer spent years developing "The Never List" -- things that they must never, ever do in order to stay alive and safe. Then one night in college, a single exception lands them in the secret dungeon of a cruel sadist. After three years Sarah escaped, but Jennifer was not so lucky. Ten years later, their abductor is up for parole, and Sarah is certain that the letters he's continued to write her are more than they seem. Definitely one of the darkest, most chilling books I’ve read this year.
