"In the beginning of the book, I pretty much forgot that something bad was going to happen. Ally had an amazing life with a caring father and great friends who were like family to her. I got caught up in that, and so it totally surprised me when everything blew up. Even though I should have known it was coming. I liked that the synopsis didn’t mention WHO she was kidnapped by, because it absolutely surprised me. Maybe it should have been obvious, but it wasn’t at all. It was such a great read, and the ending was perfect."

"yup yup yup. this book was.. phenomenal. The people in this book felt like real people to me, it definitely felt like I was watching a movie (as cliche as that sounds.) I love love loved the main character, and I also liked how the author added a bit of kinda everything. One of the best books I've read so far!"

"i really liked the story and it was fun! but the ending wasn’t very satisfying... it was very predictable and i thought there would be a twist at the end. i would recommend if you want an easy read"
