2.5The concept is really cool and the "shocking" parts would have been shocking if:1. It wasn't so predictable.2. I cared about the characters.3. The book moved faster.No goosebumps, no yelling, no chills.Nada.
I could not think of a better word than electric for this book as it touches you strong and sends jolts of high currents as you keep reading and immersing yourself into the book To take the book at its face value, then it is your typical Stockholm syndrome in play but this is perhaps one of those ...

I did like how differ...

Goodreads provided this description of the book: Born to a prominent Chicago judge and his stifled socialite wife, Mia Dennett moves against the grain as a young...
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! Mia, daughter of a famous judge, got abducted and was held for three months in a cabin in the middle of nowhere. She returns home, but now suffers from -amongst other things- sele...
