The Prisoner by B.A. Paris
5.0
Okay, I just finished another book early this am and decided that I would start another. What I didn’t know is that I would be completely enthralled with this book that I couldn’t put it down! I did take a quick break to get some gardening done, and take a rest but the rest of my day was filled reading this book as quickly as I could! I want to give extra thanks to @netgalley and the publisher @stmartinspress, for my advanced copy of this one!
Amelie has always been a survivor, she lost her mother at a young age and then her father as a teenager. Alone she leaves her home and moves to London where she meets and becomes employed by Carolyn. After a while she catches the eye of a handsome billionaire and they quickly wed – but not for love, it’s a business arraignment but Amelie must not tell anyone or the deal is off. Things go south from there and Amelie learns the man is not a good man. Next thing she knows she wakes up alone, in a dark room with only a mattress. She learns she and her husband are being held hostage but her husbands dad wont pay the ransom for them to go free. Amelie is scared for her life, but learns the hostage takers don’t want to hurt her, they want her husband to pay for the bad things he has done. Feeling more safe than she did with her husband Amelie begins to try to unravel what is truly going on. As the days go on Amelie struggles to grasp with the fact she may never escape and she’s destined to die in captivity.
I really enjoy psychological thrillers. I’m not sure what that says about me exactly, but whatever I’ll keep reading them! This book was amazing and I really enjoyed how it was written. I remembered this writing from one of the authors previous books, Behind Closed Doors, which I listed too and also didn’t want to stop. This author is quickly becoming an auto read author for me and I’d love to read the rest of her books. I have wanted to read The Therapist since it was released last year and I think I am going to make time to do so here soon. I gave this one 4.5 stars. Again thank you to @netgalley and the publisher @stmartinspress for my advanced copy. Make sure to pick up your copy on publication day, November 1st!
