Keep Her Close
by Erik Therme
Wow. Holy plot twists Batman! Keep Her Close by Erik Therme is chock-full of twists and surprises. It starts out with introducing a couple named Dan and Holly who are off to see a late night movie. In the parking garage, they find an abandoned little girl dirty and freezing. Fifteen years later, Holly and Dan are divorced but share custody of Ally (the abandoned girl). However, one day she received a letter in the mail signed by someone claiming to be her real father. Ally decides to go meet the man alone. Now she is missing and Dan will stop at nothing to make sure she is safe.
Where to begin? Well, I suppose I should start with that I am amazed how the surprises just kept popping up. This is what kept me glued to the page. I felt that there was a new twist every few chapters. This helped the pacing immensely and made it difficult to put the book down. Now, for my other thoughts. I really didn’t enjoy any of the characters. The did not seem realistic to me. I know this is fiction but I could not relate to any of them. They kept making the stupidest decisions that made me question it out loud. (Trust me, I was driving my husband crazy with that.)
Overall I rate the book 3.5 out of 5 stars. I think the overall plot is amazing. The story developed well. There are a bit too many of extra subplots that made some points a little tedious but overall it is definitely quite the page-turner.
Thank you, NetGalley, for a copy of this book!
