Wow. This story was intense. It was good but also had some problems.

Sayers is a rich kid who is well liked by his classmates but doesn't have the greatest support system at home. He's a bystander while some of his friends are cruel to others and he doesn't fully participate but doesn't try to get them to stop.

Then Sayers is kidnapped by a madman. He's held captive and becomes brainwashed  (develops Stockholm Syndrome ) by his captor Caleb. He is held for over a year and is eventually, miraculously rescued.

This is where I felt it should have stopped. The rest of the book was a bit forced in places and unnecessary in others. This kid went through so much trauma and he didn't get any type of counseling? He's rich, they can afford it. I don't know how this kid will go on.... He needed big help but didn't get it.

So I did like the book but there are a lot of things in here I'm torn on! I felt tense throughout the whole thing so that's a win.
