novelgossip 's review for:

The Prisoner by B.A. Paris
2.0

Sigh. This month is not off to a great start for me with another two star thriller. @scaredstraightreads mentioned in his review that maybe his time spent reading this author is done and I think I agree with him. Which truly bums me out because I’ve really enjoyed some of her books in the past but this one just really wasn’t good. It started off ok, a kidnapping plot is nothing new but I was curious to see where it would go. But things quickly turned repetitive and then went into a twisty mess. It was a convoluted disaster that didn’t make any sense, there was pages and pages of explanation as far as why the kidnapping took place but somehow there were still giant plot holes and unanswered questions? Make it make sense. And then it just ends. Super abrupt and jarring and it made me want to throw the book across the room. That’s really all I have to say, not a fan at all.
