Review
I have to say, I am currently very content with the ending of this book. It made me warm on the inside, and I feel that the characters deserved their HEA after everything they had undergone, which was a lot of mental and physical torment.
This story is a tough read if you are squeamish about rape, abduction, torture, but it is also an amazing tale about a survivor of rape, Kelsey, who managed to cast her demons aside and come out on top. The mystery in this story kept me going to the very end. The hints were very well placed and the plot was well thought out. I have come to like the characters (with the exception of the bad guys) and will most likely miss them now that the tale is over. I would love to know what happens with Finn and Kelsey later on.
