review 1: What an unpleasant book. After a harrowing account of the abject miseries of two parents whose teenage son was abducted, we learn that the kidnapper is a sadistic pedophile who is using the boy as a sex slave. I enjoy a good suspenseful thriller but this one was just over-the-top cruel and sordid. Moreover the “heroine” seemed incapable of having a single thought that wasn't turned into a glib and flippant aside. For example, just seconds before she thought she was gonna get whacked : “Nothing Stoat could do to me would ever make me cry ? Riiight. Did Stoat get credit if fabric softener made me quake with tears?” Thoughts of the money I paid for this book makes me quake with tears.
review 2: Wow! I received this book,(free),in a Goodread's First Rea... mored Giveaway! Thank You! Drawn Into Darkness is really suspenseful and very well written. However, I thought the protagonist was out of her mind to knock on a neighbor's door,that she had never met, walk through the door, and make herself at home with two strangers involved in a kidnapping. What was she thinking? More than the intense violence in this book, I had a bigger problem with the snakes and alligators! The action and suspense transformed this book into a heart-rattling, page turner that I just could not put down. I am so glad that the power and faith of a mother's love led more than one son to return back home in this story. Nicely Done! less
