Question D

[Jonetta]

When Faith arrives at the house, we also learn that there are at least two women in there that were abducted, Ariana Escobar and Corinne Longstreet. We rarely get an opportunity to see victims in these stories survive. Did their individual attempts to escape significantly elevate the tension and suspense? Did you believe either or both would make it out alive and survive?

[Anita]

It was nice for them to survive for a change. Their escape attempts made it just that much more dramatic.

[Jonetta]

It WAS a nice change in Rose's pattern. When Faith found Arianna and they got her to the hospital, I couldn't believe it. Then, when we started getting Corinne's point of view, I let myself hope that she'd make it out, too. I stayed tense about her until she was rescued!

[Anita]

I almost wrote her off at the cabin. It appears that KR has been listening to fans about the high body counts

[Charlene]

It is interesting that Roza (with a zed) was instrumental in helping both of them survive and escape. Yes, it was breath-stealing suspense to imagine that both of the women could survive. However, I never did figure out why he took it out on the non-blonde first.

[Jonetta]

He went after Arianna because she was tough and he wanted to break her spirit.

[Sharon]

It made the story for me that there are three women who figured out how to get away. Roza helps Arianna, then Corrine helps Roza and Roza helps both women.
