About this listen

At 19 years old, college student Josie Stratton was kidnapped by a madman and held shackled for 10 months in an abandoned warehouse before she finally escaped her hellish prison.

Eight years later, when the body of a young woman is found chained in the basement of a vacant house, Cincinnati Police Detective Zach Copeland is instantly reminded of the crime committed against Josie Stratton. Zach was just a rookie on the perimeter of that case, but he's never forgotten the traumatized woman with the haunted eyes.

As more information emerges, the crimes take on an even more sinister similarity. But Josie's attacker died by suicide. Does the city have a copycat on its hands? A killer who picked up where the original perpetrator left off? Or are they facing something far more insidious?

Josie has spent the last eight years attempting to get her life back on track, but now there's a very real chance she could be the unknown suspect's next target. As Zach vows to keep her safe, and Josie finds herself responding to him in a way she hasn't responded to any man in almost a decade, the investigation takes on an even more complex edge of danger.

As past and present collide, Josie and Zach are thrust toward a shocking and chilling truth. A revelation that threatens not only Josie's life, but everything she's been fighting so desperately to reclaim.

Kept me guessing

Enjoyed this book, dark, heart wrenching and mysterious with a side of romance. The narration was great, always a treat listening to Teddy Hamilton and Callie Dalton was fabulous. Check the trigger warnings for this one.

Scarily realistic

A psychological thriller that keeps you intrigued throughout. Love a book that has unexpected twists in it.

Worth listening to

Well written story and extremely well narrated. There were a few twists. The birth in the dungeon was very descriptive and made me feel queasy.

Intriguing if a little cheesy

Good story with enough to keep me guessing throughout. I picked many parts of the twist, but wasn’t certain of details which is always good!
Warning: the way it’s written is super cheesy. I literally rolled my eyes and laughed out loud at some of the descriptions and language. The voice actors added to this. They picked the manliest man and the most waif-like woman. It would have been better (story and acting) if everything was a little more subtle. If the you can get past that cheese, it’s a fun listen :)

Superb

A riveting story of obsession and revenge which had me on the edge of my seat, with twists and red herrings until the last page. I will definitely be looking for more books from this author.
