Remember how I posted a suspenseful/horror book last year before a marathon
of more suspenseful/horror books.
Well I’m doing it again this year!
Please enjoy April Henry’s much-anticipated sequel to Girl, Stolen.
High School
Six months ago, Griffin Sawyer
meant to steal a car, but he never meant to steal the girl asleep in the
backseat. Panicked, he took her home. His father, Roy, decided to hold Cheyenne―who is blind―for ransom. Griffin helped her
escape, and now Roy is awaiting trial.
As they prepare to testify,
Griffin and Cheyenne reconnect and make plans to meet. But the plan goes wrong
and Cheyenne gets captured by Roy’s henchmen―this time for the kill.
I
really regret not waiting for this book to come out before I posted the April
Henry books. It would’ve worked great for my October suspense/horror marathon
of books. But I did not. So, here’s the book now.
Once again, I can’t tell you much without giving too much
information away about the first book and this book.
Unlike the first book, this story shows the point of view
of Cheyenne, Griffin, Roy and TJ. I haven’t read the first book in a while so I
forgot who TJ was until his part in the book. Pretty much he was one of the men
who kept Cheyenne captive and he’s insane.
I’m going to be honest with you all, this book was a
disappointment. More to the point, Cheyenne was a disappointment. April Henry’s
books are usually filled with female characters that are strong and usually
have a love interest but don’t spend the entire book talking about them. In the
last book, Cheyenne was scared but strong in a terrifying situation. Now she
can’t stop thinking about Griffin, the boy who kidnapped her in the first
place. It was an accident but still, it was his fault. This whole book screams
Stockholm syndrome.
But don’t get me wrong. This is still a great book. It had
me on the edge of my seat after Cheyenne made her horrible decision. I read
over half the book in one sitting. I love it when a book just draws you in and
won’t let go.
