You saw me before I saw you.
A girl: Gemma, at the airport, on her way to a family vacation.
You had that look in your eyes.
A guy: Ty, rugged, tan, too old, oddly familiar, eyes blue as ice.
Like you wanted me.
She steps away. For just a second. He pays for her drink. And drugs it.
Wanted me for a long time.
He takes her, before she even knows what's happening.
To sand and heat.
To emptiness and isolation.
To nowhere.
And expects her to love him.
Written as a letter from a victim to her captor, this is Gemma's desperate story of survival. Ty has stolen her body. Against every instinct screaming inside her, will he also steal Gemma's heart?
Authors' Reviews
"Complicated and beautiful - it left me doubting my emotions and missing a place I'd never been." - Maggie Stiefvater, author of Shiver
"All the tension of lightning, all the terror of thunder. A stunning, scary, and beautiful book." - John Anderson, author of The Tomorrow Series
Review
This book is simply incredible. There are no words that can do this book justice. This book is a letter from the victim to her kidnapper as she recounts her time with him, so you would think it would be a terrible and horrifying book. But this book truly is beautiful and completely messes with your emotions. I honestly don't know what else I can say about this book. It is fantastic and one of the first books I recommend to those looking for a good read.
5 out of 5 stars.
