I have to say on my first glimpse that this cover is really hot, so kudos to the person who made that. I'm sure the cover alone and the title really drew in some interests. I am so happy my favorite type of book has really taken off, I love a really great Stockholm syndrome book. This is only the first part in the series and I have to say it was really well written. Lilly is a completely likable character, and obviously the wrong person discovered a liking for her. You see it on the news every now and then but really what type of man would just take a girl. So we flashback to Lilly's crappy childhood and learn that she is a survivor. I think that makes her captivity a little easier to take, because if we know her, she's going to do what she needs to survive. She was going to school at Yale and so we also knows she is smart. So I love where this is going and I'm excited for the next installment. Overall entertainment value is five stars. Loved it. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
When I wake up in a dark, unfamiliar room, I have no idea what's waiting for me in the shadows. My imagination conjures up demons of the worst kind.Reality is much worse:A collar with no leash. A prison with no walls. And a life stripped of meaning.I am presented with a vile contract and asked to sign. It outlines the terms of my servitude. The only information I have about my captor are the two small letters inked at the bottom:J.S.Armed with only my memories, I must do everything I can to avoid becoming ensnared in his twisted mind games. But in the end, it all comes down to one choice:Resist and die.Or submit, and sign my life away. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

By itself, this 'first book in the series' is more of a tease than a story in and of itself. If you're buying it for Kindle, you can buy all three for 99 cents each, but the fact that it's published alone does, on some level, suggest there's a particular story to be had here, just as there'd be if you bought the first book in a series in a bookstore. But, as a book, this doesn't warrant the label.
If I'd just finished reading the first part of a book, I might not be too unsatisfied right now--it's a decent beginning, though it's got some issues (not least of them the sections where she's remembering back to being 12, in memories that vary between making her sound like a 6-year-old and an 18-year-old). But, as someone who just read what she considered to be a book in and of itself, and the beginning of a series... well, yeah, I don't think I got what I paid for, and the lack of substance/completion here overshadows what was a decent beginning to a book.
So, will I continue reading? Yes, I will, because I bought the first three in the series together, knowing they were something of a trilogy even if I didn't realize how much they were together only essentially one book. But, will I read more by this author? No, I probably won't. I'm not going to pay full book price for what ends up being only a third of a book, and it seems that that's what this author's intention is That means that, on some level, she's putting money above either stories or readers, and combined with the fact that there's nothing really Special about this particular book/story so far, that means I feel a bit gipped, and frustrated that marketing processes led an author to make this particular choice and concession.
Here's hoping that other authors don't, as I certainly haven't seen anything to this extent before. ( )
