This book had me changing my mind about what I thought was happening every few chapters. I reached a point where I was thinking, some of this is not making any sense, what the heck is going on? After the truth of what was actually happening was finally revealed, I was like, ok, this is a bit much. Then something even crazier and unexpected occurred. I’m trying to think of another book I have read that had me going through so many plot twists and turns, a story that kept puzzling and surprising me, and I am having a really hard time with it.
At first you think you’re reading a story about a missing girl, as narrated primarily by the girl herself, the person who kidnapped her, and the older sister who is desperately trying to find both the girl and the person who took her. But at some point you start to realize that things are just not adding up in a way in which this situation is the reality. There is not much more that I want to say, this is not a book I want to spoil for anyone by revealing too much, because this is the perfect book for readers who love psychological thrillers. Be prepared for depictions of mental and physical abuse, torture, mental anguish, animal cruelty, and consider skipping this novel if any of those themes disturb you. I will say, as a lover of cats, some of the excerpts made me very upset. Additionally, when the point in the story came to where I believe most people will start to feel sympathy for Ted, it was easy for me to do so given the author’s descriptive imagery, which enabled me to clearly visualize what had been done to him. This book has me curious to know if the author’s other works are just as amazing.
