This was a little slow at times, while the ending became a bit more rushed but this was a really interesting concept for a thriller. The premise was well executed and gave a really refreshing protagonist. I haven’t seen many thrillers that show the aftermath of trafficking rather than the threat of it, and found it to be a really fascinating take on the classic kidnapping thriller.

Hard to rate such a harrowing story - I read it in one sitting and was hooked by the pace, particularly at the end.
