I'm a fan of Natalie Bennett and have read several of her books, and this one, by far, is the darkest book I've read written by her. It's not an overly long book, but it doesn't waste any time plunging head first into the depravity. To me, the story felt rushed; I would love to know more about the kidnapper's family, especially his mother, and how they came to be as sick and twisted as they are. I'm not sure I was shocked to learn that the kidnapper is not only married, but that the wife knows about his.......hobby? I will say that Harper's strength and determination impressed me; knowing she survived her ordeal was impressive. I've rated this a bit lower than I normally like, only because the ending was so abrupt and I'm not honestly sure if it's supposed to be a cliffhanger.
She has a penchant for writing about villainous immoral men, crazed anti-heroines, and tends to deviate away from traditional HEAs.
She likes chocolate, Netflix, and Prickly Pear Margaritas.
When she isn't writing she's hanging out in the sunshine state with her husband, their three boys, and her pitbull named Lulu.
You can find Natalie on Social Media! Natalie Bennett is your average socially awkward author that turns her spontaneous head ramblings into stories.
