This story is written about a female realtor who is abducted at the end of an open house. Her captor takes her to a remote cabin in the mountains and she remains with him for almost a year before she is able to get away, by finally killing him. The book is written in the first-person style, but we are given two different views. The first is Annie's view and thoughts during the abduction and captivity. The second view/thoughts are Annie talking to her psychiatrist. While sounding confusing writing it here, it's actually easy to keep track of which time we're in. The ending is also very surprising, to say the least!
I found the story to be somewhat emotionally disconcerting, and even though the author doesn't give us grizzly, graphic details, she does give us enough to let our minds draw the picture. And it's written so well that at times the reader may forget that it is a book of fiction and not a true-crime novel. While out of my normal genre, I like to make a change now and then to keep my mind alert, and this book fit the bill. I actually looked for more Chevy Stevens' books, it was THAT good.
