[close] Still Missing3.5★'s

From The Book:
On the day she was abducted, Annie O'Sullivan, a thirty-two-year-old realtor, had three goals―sell a house, forget about a recent argument with her mother, and be on time for dinner with her ever-patient boyfriend. The open house is slow, but when her last visitor pulls up in a van as she's about to leave, Annie thinks it just might be her lucky day after all. Interwoven with the story of the year Annie spent captive in a remote mountain cabin―which unfolds through sessions with her psychiatrist―is the second narrative recounting the nightmare that follows her escape: her struggle to piece her shattered life back together, the ongoing police investigation into the identity of her captor, and the disturbing sense that things are far from over.

My Thoughts:
The most enlightening part of the entire book was the sessions that Annie has with her therapist. She recounts her yearlong ordeal of being held hostage in a mountain cabin and being raped, beaten, and controlled by the psychopath who kidnapped her. Te story is then told from a present perspective and a past perspective. That would be fine except it's like two entirely different people are telling it. A few of the psychological elements were too convenient as a result they just didn't ring true. But overall it was an entertaining and sometimes chilling novel.

I will definitely be reading more of Chevy Stevens' books.

There is disturbing kidnapping and raping, but every detail of this twisted story kept me absolutely engrossed. We hear Annie's account of her kidnapping as she reveals her experiences and new discoveries to her shrink. I loved the complex characters and experiencing Annie's process and simply could not put it down. ...more
