The Prisoner
by B.A. Paris
Like most B.A. Paris books, this one started off with a bang that keeps your attention throughout.
The book has a lot of pros:
A strong female lead with a survivor instinct.
Quick moving plot with short chapters to match.
A unique spin on the imprisonment (at least from what I thought it would be like given the rest of the context of the marriage)
A little glimmer of hope at the end.
But the book also has some cons:
I felt like the kidnapping storyline didn’t tightly wrap up.
The ending was so rushed. And then confusing. Is it a no or a maybe, and if it’s a maybe can we get one more chapter to finish that off?
Besides Amelie, the characters were lacking. We focused a lot on her past and how she got to be who she is but I couldn’t tell you the difference between Justine and Lina, I want to know why Ned is the way he is, I’d like to know exactly what happened to Caroline because I felt of all the characters, we were at least given more details on her. A chapter from her POV after leaving the news conference at Ned’s house to her death would have been a great edition in my opinion. A way to wrap up her story as well.
Either way, I think this was a solid action packed read. It goes quick, it keeps your attention, it’s written well. I feel it’s just another solid from B.A. Paris, which is a win for me!
