Publisher's summary

A serial rapist is kidnapping teenage girls. But he’s not interested in just any teenage girls - only virgins. He hunts them by following their status updates and check-ins on social media. Once he’s captured them, they’re locked away in his sound-proof basement until they’re groomed and ready. He throws them away like pieces of trash after he’s stolen their innocence. Nobody escapes alive.

Until Ella.

Ella risks it all to escape, setting herself and the other girls free. But only Sarah - the girl who's been held captive the longest - gets out with her. Both girls are hospitalized and surrounded by FBI agents who will stop at nothing to find the man responsible. Ella and Sarah are the key to their investigation, but Sarah’s hiding something, and it isn’t long before Ella discovers her nightmare is far from over.

So so

The narrators ruin it for me. The story was okay, but was very predictable. Not as good as some other books

Meh

This book was so disturbing, probably because this is someone’s life. The abuse and brainwash was horrible. The narrators voice for Sarah was so bad. This could have been a better story

Good

Good
Just good not super good not super fantastic but just good no twists no turns no surprises. Just a pretty good story. One of the narrators voice was sort of annoying and kind of overacted but not unbearable.
I’m a harsh critic so good is good for me

Great story. But ….

I loved this book but it took everything I had to get through it to the voice actor for Sarah. It’s like listening to the robot on tik tok that reads text; it was painful to listen to but the book itself was great. I just wish I read it instead of listening to it.

Good story, horrid narration

Like many others have said the voice of Sara was not particularly believable. Monotone, but not in a way that portrayed a flatness of spirit. It was literally like some sort of poor AI reading words on a page.
The story could’ve been so much better and need to be re-narrated. Outside of that, it was quite a good story. Although obviously, Ella‘s mother is a complete idiot.

Narration

I had to force myself to finish this book since I paid for it. There are two narrators and one sounded like she was about to cry the whole time and the other one sounded like a robot.

Got my interest

Kept my interest I listened straight through. 1st narrator was better as she went on. At 1st I thought there are little kids. Secondary narrator was just okay. The story was good.

Narrative voice for Sarah is monotone

The voice for Ella is good, the one for Sarah is not at all….was hard to listen to the whole story and not focus on the nasally monotone voice.
