Stolen is a fresh, new and definitely unusual take on a subject that I normally don't like reading about: kidnapping. Because of its subject matter, it has been compared to Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott and I'd just like to say that it's an unfair comparison. In LDG, the villain is truly evil and despicable, he kidnaps very young girls, sexually assaults them and grooms them to be completely devoted to him. Stolen is very different from that. Ty, our "villain" here, is a man whose tormented past continues to haunt him and all he really wants is companionship. He truly believes that when he kidnapped Gemma, he was saving her from her life. Apart from the kidnapping, he doesn't make Gemma do anything she didn't want to. Obviously, his way of finding companionship is wrong but that does not necessarily make him a bad guy. 
 Gemma is tenacious, stubborn but it is her "never-say-die" attitude that completely drew me in. I honestly cannot say if I'd have endured what she did if I were in her situation. She never stops trying to get away even after nearly dying many times in the processes. 
 It is clear that Gemma develops Stockholm's Syndrome after her time with Ty, much like the readers have, I presume. Ty can be kind, patient, caring and even sweet with Gemma but at times, we can glimpses what he really is capable of and that essentially, he is still a kidnapper. 
 The ending was a small surprise for me because while I guessed certain aspects of it, there were some that remained complete mysteries for me. Stolen is a novel that will slowly creep into your heart and create conflicting emotions with all the angst it brings and is a novel I definitely recommend.
