The Runaway by Nick Petrie

3.0

Peter is played by a runaway pregnant 19 year old, Helene. Helene has fled a bad situation at home in Montana only to find herself in a worse situation in rural Nebraska married to a psychopath who is so cruel and his skill set so accomplished to be unbelievable.

I’ve enjoyed the other books in this series. This one not as much. Credulity is exceeded on a routine basis. Helene despite her circumstances is not an empathetic character. I guess this shows Peter’s inability to walk away from a bad situation and saving someone who is not worthy of his attention. The body count is staggering and the cruelty is excessive.
