Fast paced thriller ( )

Amy and Dee are abducted when they were 10 and 12 by a man named Kyle who had a thing about dolls. Six years later, Amy returns home without Dee and won't tell anyone what happens. But slowly the story comes out. This book is told from the view of Amy, or Chelsea as Kyle calls her. Mary does a great job of showing what can happen to the mind when one is kept in captivity by an abductor who is slightly off mentally and is violent. I really felt for Amy and her family and there were several times I was brought to tears. When you are on the outside, you always wonder what something like this does to a person, how they can survive to live a normal life and what happens to the families left behind who don't know where their loved ones are. This was such a good story and well written. I'm glad I got the chance to read it. Thanks to Penguin Random House First to Read program for my advanced copy. ( )
