Doll House by John Hunt
2.0
Author: John Hunt
Started: May 12, 2024
Finished: May 15, 2024
Format: Digital
Genre: Horror
On her first day of college, Olivia is kidnapped. Along with other girls, she is kept for 5 years by two sadistic men who do abhorrent things to them. When Olivia kills one of the captors and escapes, she lives in constant fear that the man will come back for her. When the inevitable happens, Olivia makes the decision not to be a victim again
This storyline caught my attention, and i really wanted to enjoy it, but it ended up just being an ok read. While there are some grusome scenes, they were part of the plot and did not appear gratuitous. That being said, this book could have been 35-40% shorter and still told the complete story. There was almost a whole chapter on Olivia's father's alcholism that was unnecessary. I can only think that this aspect of the story was personal to the author in some way. Overall, this is not a book I would want to read again.
