Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris
dark
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
4.5
Minus 1/2 star because of the odd disability representation but holy smokes this book was insaaaaane. I could feel my blood pressure rising as I read.
I've read domestic thrillers before, but there is something about the way this is written that left me so unbelievably shocked, scared, and terrified. I was anxious the entire time, and after every failed escape attempt I just about lost hope. Wow!
