Reader reviewed by stephanie

In the last five years, the narrator has been held captive and abused by a man named Ray. She has been held against her will and is completely powerless against him knowing that making one false move will risk her familys lives. Now fifteen years old, the girl renamed Alice knows that she is the second girl who has been abducted by Ray. She also knows that the girl who came before her was killed when she turned fifteen because she had outgrown her child like body. Now Alice is hopeful that her own demise is approaching where she can finally be free from her captor. Ray, however, has no intention of letting go of her. Instead, he orders her to find a new little girl and train her to Rays tastes. Alice is forced to make the decision on whether her pain is enough to allow someone else to take over her pain or to save the girl and sacrifice herself. Ray does not realize what it is that Alice longs for and she does not realize what sinister plan Ray has up his sleeves. This book will definitely leave you hooked until the end. Short and bitter, Elizabeth Scott brings another unforgettable book.
