A review by jhorras
Stay by Jane Bailey

3.0

I may have been expecting more from this book, expecting or hoping for a 5 star thriller but while it was a good story it was not a 5 star one in my opinion. The premise of this story is a young girl who left home with a boy and two friends just before the pandemic. Things went wrong and as she was trying to get home she was picked up by a family who seemed to have things she felt her family did not. From here, things start to go horribly wrong but the story was drawn out and I think could have been several chapters shorter.

While the ending as good the drawn out chapters took away from the climax at least for me. For those that may enjoy folk songs it may be of more interest as there were folk song lyrics interspersed throughout the book. I would rate this a solid 3.25 starts.
