The Never List by Koethi Zan
3.0
a very bold and impressive debut novel, centred around the main protagonist's dealings with her abduction and captivity 10 years prior, with the abductor now up for parole.
The Never List reads like any gripping, fast paced crime novel and i read most of it in about 2 sittings. Whilst the plot dares to take you on an unimaginable journey of suffering and life after, not to mention the seedy underworld of trafficking and BDSM, the characters are well-rounded. if a little unrealistic when faced with traumatic, horrifying circumstances.
I spent a good deal of the latter part of the book not actually believing the ex-abductees would put themselves in such remote, unimaginable danger for the sake of finding clues to the whereabouts of a suspected body. But, in this case, I went with it - as without it there would have been no conclusion and no answers.
Overall, the book is a great read, an interesting perspective and a few plot twists to keep you guessing.
