Clare has created a unique thing – a bubble in time that is populated by a compelling story about likable characters with some edge-of-your-seat suspense. This book is the whole package: good love story, good action, good characters, good setting, and, most importantly, good writing. I love, love, love it when a book is that good. I’m so “in the moment” that it’s like I’m hypnotized. It was one of those books where I reached that “reading nirvana” – that place where I’m not even aware of turning the pages and I’m surprised when anyone speaks to me in real life. The way they come back together was written very naturally and, despite the bizarre confluence of events, it was very believable.Īnd that is probably a good summary for the rest of the book – it was viscerally believable. They think about each other for years after that beautiful, fateful night. An attraction they didn’t act on until the day before he leaves for the Army. They were attracted to each other in high school. Sophie and Marc are fated to be together. Seemed appropriate for the wringer our hero and heroine go thru and for one of the basic elements of this book – the prison experience. I’m listening to Pink Floyd’s Welcome to the Machine (see the “Duck Sauce Theater” in the lower left of the main TGTBTU page). And so starts a love story…įirst, let me set the stage for this review. All she knows of him is he seems violent, he’s kidnapped her, and she may never be seen alive again. She doesn’t know who he is, except he’s related to a drug addicted young mother she knows – an addict who has disappeared.
He hauls her literally thru a police cordon, off into the mountains, to a cabin he knows from his past. Picture this, if you will: successful investigative reporter is kidnapped by an escaped lifer.
