The storyline was interesting don't get me wrong and at times I was expecting some morbid twist since when most assailants capture a hostage it is not usually a MR NiCE GUY who buys the hostage clothing or provides meals for a long winter storm. I was perturbed in some parts but then Megan Hart decides not to take us down that road. It is not the usual author's type of storyline Hart writes but it sure is difficult to write a story about being held hostage in a cabin for an unknown amount of time and read how they both pass the time together. Not much happens and I wish the story would get to the points a lot faster rather than have me keep reading about them playing board games toepgether or baking bread together. Unreal! The ending was kind of weak since I keep thinking why didn't she do it sooner?
