Here is the latest book I’ve read (or actually listened to), Still Missing by Chevy Stevens.
Lately most of the books that I have told you about all have an element that doesn’t allow me to imagine myself as the character and become completely imersed in the book…well this one does. Â It’s good.
Annie the main character in the book is abducted and taken to a mountain cabin where she is forced to spend her life. Â Annie is smart, yet gets sucked in at times, almost having feelings for her abductor.
Annie is now working through PTSD…reliving her time as a captive. Â She has paranoid episodes and slowly, step by painful step, she is working her way through her mountain of issues. Â She can’t work. Â She can’t sleep in her bed. Â She can’t quit living the rituals she endured while in the cabin. Â Even though she is now free, she is not free. Â How does one pick up their life after being gone for such a long time? Â How does one deal with a mother who tries but just doesn’t know how to say the right things? Â And what of a boyfriend-how can he ever understand?
This is the authors debut novel and let me say it is written more like an accomplished author.  I will definitely be looking for more books by her.  Although the ending was quick and for me a bid predictable, I would easily give it four and a half stars.

Sounds intriguing!
Hmm. I think I will put this on my think-about-it list. It sounds like a well-written story.
