Pretty Is by Maggie Mitchell

History repeating itself is the only way two formerly abducted women can come to terms with their feelings for their heavily illusive kidnapper.
Never read a story of abduction that isn't violent or laced with hate. A totally new perspective of the genre and an insight into a child's need to feel loved. Possibly also of Stockholm syndrome.
It concluded way too suddenly and was kind of anti climatic, which is why it gets the low score from me. There is also a lot of the story still to be told. I'd like to learn more about Sean, his character added to the undertones of madness in characters but seemed like an easy plot device, eg he's made because he just is. could have added a little back story, seemed a bit lazy to add him as a plot device almost casually.
still, an interesting story. **
