Twelve years ago Sara Baker was kidnapped, tortured, raped, and after being held hostage for months, during which time she became pregnant, she was turned loose in a mountainous area and hunted like an animal. By the grace of God, she managed to escape.
She now goes by a different name .. Olivia .... and she still suffers flashbacks. She has not only lost all sense of self, but her husband and parents turned against her when they learned of all she had endured and the shame of having 'his' child. She felt forced to give her baby for adoption.
The man who kidnapped her was caught and died in prison. So who is shadowing her ... leaving 'gifts' that remind her of her captor?
There are lots of suspects ... a cop who had worked her case and his daughter who have booked a cabin where Olivia works. the dying owner's son who has not been home in many years .... the owner's daughter who wants Olivia to leave so that the property can be sold ... and there's the unethical man who is depending on having the property for a resort.
I have to tell you .... at the end my throat was constricted and I shed a few tears. No spoilers.
I really liked Sara/Olivia. Even with all she endured she has emerged a lot stronger than she believes she is. She keeps trudging forward and fighting the flashbacks with all that she has.
The ending came as a real surprise ..... out of the blue. So who will live ..and who will die before the mystery can be solved?
My thanks to NetGalley/Amazon Publishing for the opportunity to read and review A Dark Lure.
