This certainly isn't the darkest of the dark, it certainly isn't super original, but I could not put it down! 
 This is your standard captor/captive story with a little twist, but I can't say what without spoilers. ;) 
 Initially I wasn't sure what I though, because it's written from the perspective of Nora who in the beginning is only 17. 
 However, once I embraced that the writing was being written as if being told by a teenage girl, I jumped on the crazy bandwagon. 
 I was sort of swooning for Julian from the beginning. Yeah, yeah...he's the bad guy, got it. But he's not. But he is. But it's sort of hot. 
 See what I mean? Interesting. 
 Usually I have to build up to connect to the captor, but it really didn't take me too long. 
 It's a very good story and I'm loving the sequel! Well done! :)
