Seventeen year old Ellie meets the new boy at school, Josh at a party. Rumour surround Josh as his previous girlfriend was murdered. Ellie is kidnapped and kept in a basement. She is found and the kidnapper is convicted.
Twenty years later, Ellie has a daughter, Jessica and Josh is back in town. History seems to be repeating itself, when Jessica goes missing.
I felt misled by this book, the majority of the book starts with Ellie meeting Josh, an unnecessarily long build to the kidnapping. The blurb didn’t live up to the content and found it tough wanting to finish the book. Quite a slow burner.
