I didn't hate the story, but I didn't love it either. I'm a little addicted to the Stockholm Syndrome/Fall in love with the captor books but this one just didn't hit the mark for me. 
 Overall, the story and writing is good. 
 My issue is that it dragged during several parts, I wasn't a huge fan of the ending (it's a twist, but not a twist I personally liked), and the relationship with Jesse wasn't super passionate or intense or even really believable. 
 I don't know. Good enough story. Very very very mild. Reviewers who called this dark have CLEARLY never read a dark captor story. (Ha. Kitty Thomas, Pepper Winters, CJ Roberts, Aleatha Romig ring a bell for any of you? If you called this dark then my guess is probably not.) 
 3 stars is probably generous of me, but again, the writing and story was fine, I'm probably just corrupted. ;)
