Disclosure of Material Connection: I
received this book for review from Saints and Sinners Books and the
author. I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive
review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am
posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part
255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and
Testimonials in Advertising".
One girl disappeared. After fifteen years, her cold lifeless body was found on the damp forest floor. Not an inch of her was unmarked by the horrors she endured. Alone, malnourished, abused in horrific ways; this was how she died.
One girl was found walking the streets, covered in dirt and scars. She had no memory of who she was, where she came from, or what happened to her. Even though the marks on her body attested to years of heinous abuse, her strength shone through at every turn.
Revenge and justice were sworn.
Years of searching brought up nothing but dead ends. Detective Niko James was too late to save his childhood friend, but he vows not to let down another.
The clock is ticking and the trail is pitch dark.
*TRIGGER WARNING* Some scenes depict abusive situations.
There’s a Disclaimer at the
beginning of the book. If you do
purchase this book please make sure to read it carefully.
We rely on the characters
of a book to let us know what they see and what they’re feeling. Niko does that very clearly – one reason for
the disclaimer. The Prologue shows the
harsh reality that not everyone has a perfect life or a happy ending. It’s a story that will have you shaking your head
and feeling sorry.
Lelu lets us see how a man
can sometimes love pain. We haven’t had a story like this in
the news for a while but that doesn’t mean that something like this isn’t happening. It’s a reminder to be diligent about keeping an eye
on what’s happening around you.
If you have a heart, this
story is going to affect you in some way.
It’s very sad and it’s tough to read because of
the violence. This is a book that I had
no choice but to put down because of how it affected me and how it made me
feel. The authors know their jobs because
they’ve created a character that
almost made me physically ill and not wanting to continue. But they also have me fondly remembering how
much I love the tv show Criminal Minds. It’s how they care about finding justice for the
victims.
And that’s exactly what kept me
reading. I have to believe that if it
was tough for me to read that it must have been just as tough for the authors
to write. Their words are so strong and
evoke even stronger emotions. Expect to
get angry and maybe to even cry. But the
biggest emotion is frustration because even though you know it’s a work of fiction, you
feel as if your hands are tied. You may
not have been able to help Lelu but you can check around your area to see if
there’s something you may be able
to do for those like her. For me this
story was more about the horror against humanity so it makes it more of a
thriller in my eyes. The romance once it
comes was just a great way to lighten a very dark mood.
