It was kind of off putting a little, but I did get used to it after the first few times. This book allows us to consider that even an educated person can be put in a life altering situation and begin to think differently.I found the book well written, and I can't wait to read the author's other novels!One of the things I did not like about this book, is during certain encounters how it changes to the third person.

I think it ended at the right time.Review 1: Although it was quite disturbing, I found myself hooked on this book from the very beginning. I have seen reviews that said that the story was too short, but I disagree.

Positives: I wasn’t expecting a lot of what happened in the story and I love that in the book.

Maybe it is still too fresh in my mind to think if I will ever reread it.

Will I reread? Not sure if this is a story I will want to experience again.

I finished the book at night and woke up in the morning thinking about the characters.

Did I think about the book when I finished? Yes.

Did I feel connected to the characters? Yes.

The author, Kitty Thomas, did an amazing job. It left me thinking and I love when a book does that. This ending could NOT have been more perfect. Many times when I read the ending of the book, I thought how I could have written that better or thought of a better ending. I do not want to spoil the story for you since I want you to experience the events with fresh eyes. Is there an HEA? Is there romance? Is this a love story? These are questions that you will ask yourself and answer when you finish reading this book. The minute you start reading, you are immediately involved in what is happening to Emily. You can know it’s happening all you want it doesn’t change the results.” She does not even know who her captor is. In this story, we go through this journey of mental “abuse” where her captor conditions her to be what he wants her to be. Emily does not know why she was kidnapped.

While on one of her speaking engagements, something is slipped into her drink and she wakes up in a small dark room, held captive. Synopsis: Emily Vargas, who is a successful self-help author and speaker. I can’t believe I almost did not read this book.

Genre: Sociology/Abuse, Erotica, Adult Fiction, BDSM.ĥ out of 5 Stars (I am still thinking about this story)
