Mystery/Thriller -- 3 stars
Olivia is enjoying her first night on campus when two men grab her and lock her in a nightmare. Years later, she finds out she is not alone. But escape doesn't mean safe. ----- This book is not for the faint of heart. I can't ever remember the degree of violence that Mr. Hunt voices in the first third of this book. If Mr. Hunt's point was to shock, he succeeds admirably. I came very close to putting the book down never to finish it, which is completely anathema to my I'll-finish-this-even-if-it-is-horrible-because-I'm-afraid-I'll-miss-something attitude toward reading. The final two-thirds of the book reads like any other female victim novel, with suspects thrown in and eliminated and an ending twist; but after the opening, it comes off as slightly flat.
