From The Book:
Safe & Sound is the story of Amy Millhouse, a recent college graduate who travels to Mexico on vacation with her friends. While there, the girls are kidnapped by a violent drug gang and held hostage for everything they are worth - and more. Safe & Sound is a fast-paced kidnapping thriller that leaves readers on the edge of their seat and begging for more!
My Thoughts:
I picked this book up because it met the criteria for a reading challenge...haven't we all done that? It's a roll of the dice if we'll read it in one sitting or go screaming from the room. This first novel attempt by Danielle Singleton fell in the later category. The story was compelling even if it did deal with a brutal subject matter. Danielle manages to engage the reader in a manner that doesn't focus on the brutality as much as it does a connection to Amy and her strength throughout the terrible ordeal. It's not for the faint of heart but if you can get past this and go with the many twists and turns...you will enjoy this book.
