review 1: This would have been 4 stars if the main character, Reeve, didn't do so many stupid and unbelievable things. She comes across very genuine at the start of the book as a 22 year old struggling to move on with her life after being held hostage for 4 years starting at age 12. When her psychiatrist (whose personality was dull and should have been more developed) asks her to meet with Tiily, another hostage survivor who has just been found, Reeve agrees to do so. As she gets caught up with Tiily and the search for Tilly's abductor, things get more unbelievable. This was a great psychological thriller: scary, breathe a sigh of relief, then scary again. All in all a page turning decent read with some stupid thrown in.
review 2: This is a decent book about a tough sub... moreject. Girls are kidnapped and tortured for years. Reeve was kept for 4 years but now, with the help of her psychiatrist Dr. Lerner, she is doing better. Another girl, Tilly, has been found and Dr. Larson asks Reeve if she will come with him and connect with this girl, thinking that it will help both of them heal. But there are other girls missing and Tilly confides to Reeve something that she makes her swear she will not reveal - even to the police as they search for the girls and whoever is holding them captive. It's tense, and Reeve is a wonderful combination of hurt, scared, brave, and damaged. I did find it annoying that a brand new character shows up in the middle of the book to move the plot line along more quickly. And some of the characters aren't well fleshed out. They only hint at feelings and interactions with others. less
