Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Julie M. Prince

When Cheyenne Wilder finds herself being driven off in her parents' Escalade...without her parents, she knows her world is about to change--again. She's been blind for the past three years and has already had to deal with more than the average teenager.
But now she's alone and scared, and she can't even see her captor.

April Henry, known for her mystery and thriller storytelling skills, makes good in this quick-paced, fascinating tale of a brave girl who must make her way through the darkness and danger back to a life she wasn't sure she'd wanted until it was threatened.

Certain tangents take the book away from the action, but they're tangents I didn't mind being explored, like what blind people deal with in every day situations, and what ignorant people can't seem to get past in regard to the blind.

Readers can't help but understand Cheyenne's uncertainty in dealing with her accidental kidnapper, Griffin. After all, he's practically a boyscout next to her other captors. And he's become her only ally and protector. But that doesn't make him innocent, so her trust can only go so far.

I enjoyed the exploration of the relationship between kidnapper and hostage. No amount of movies and books on the subject can take away the excitement of a good kidnapping story!
