The man uses threats of deprivation and tranquilizers to keep her hostage and the young women must overcome a brutal life to attempt an escape before abductor takes everything from her.

Comments: A stand alone thriller from acclaimed author Will Dean. Dean lays it all in what human trafficking and human depravation looks like. A deeply disturbing account he somehow, very successfully, compels the reader to keep turning pages. I couldn’t put it down no matter the life distraction. Well done Mr. Dean.

Good Neighbors by Sarah Langan

 

Good Neighbors by Sarah Langan

Rating: 5 sinkhole stars

Summary: A once family friendly neighborhood on Long Island is torn apart by family secrets, climate change, tar filled sinkholes, and nasty rumors. 

Comments: A dramatic family driven suspense novel that is made of many genres convincingly weaved together. Desperate housewives, crime drama, dystopian future, and deep suspense drives this wonderful narrative. I’ve honestly never read such an original script with so many complex plot lines woven together. Don’t think for one second anything turns out well at the final few pages. We all have thought are neighbors are normal, well maybe not. Thank you to Atria publishing for the request.
