Thank you to the publisher for ALC and ARC of The Prisoner. The book started with  a bang and I was curious what led Amelia to this situation. It was intense and the flashback sort of slowed the story down. The second half of the story was basically the writer telling us how the kidnapping happened and why rather then leading us it. This made it a little less entertaining. Amelia friends were not developed enough and they were interchangeable. I did enjoy the narration.
