Absolutely insane but in the best way. LOVE flora and her crazy ass. Can’t believe her ass gets kidnapped not once but TWICE, plus also whatever amount of times she decided to get kidnapped on purpose. FUCK Jacob and FUCK his daughter. They both got that crazy gene.

It was scary yet intriguing to be reading Flora’s thoughts throughout the whole story, but I understood where she was coming from. If Lisa Gardner actually did extensive research prior to writing this novel, she had done a really excellent job. This novel is definitely worth the hype!

Wow, I can’t even put in words how much I enjoyed reading this book. It scared me, shocked me, excited me, made me sad and happy, relieved and angry and brought a whole new prospective to me. The prospective of a survivor. A survivor of kidnapping and being held captive for over 400 days. Most of them in a pine coffin. Used and abused, starved and hurt.
The only way of surviving this unbelievable torture was to leave herself behind and become something else. She was forced to help her abductor finding victims to kill until she herself thought she was a monster just like him.
And after? Being saved or even after saving herself... She could never be the girl she used to be anymore. She had become somebody else.
And she had promised herself to only tell her story once. Once and never again. But she didn’t reveal all of it because she was too ashamed of what she thought she had become. A monster just like him.
I bow in awe of what I can only describe as art of writing by Lisa Gardner.
It’s been a long time that a book actually surprised me, glued me to the pages and had me scared to turn off the lights at night.
Thank you Lisa Gardner for this. Thank you for the impressive research you must have done to gain this level of insight into the mind of a survivor. And of course into the mind of the monsters.
Of course I bought all the other D.D. Warren books now.
