I was completely enraptured in this book from the start. I did spend the first 70% of the book following the story but also not know what was going on. I really wanted to sus out what was going on and guess who was behind the kidnapping! It wasn’t until the last 20% that everything started to make sense and the story started to unravel.
It’s a fairly short book, less than 300 pages, but it really does pack a lot into it. However, I’m not satisfied with that ending - I need to know what happens next, it just ends too abruptly!
