Still missing

For the road narrative, it sits almost midway through the spectrum at a dark gray, 666666. Put into words, it's marginalized, rural, offroad. Annie's role here is primarily that of victim. She has very little in way of agency and her trip to the woods is not one she choses for herself. Except for the identity of the accomplice, the narrative is as gray as its placement in the road narrative spectrum.

This book was very hard to read because of the subject, but I couldn't put it down! I felt Annie's terror at being held captive. I cried with her over the things she had to do to survive. I highly recommend this book.

I started this some time back and have only come around to finishing it. I do no remember Alot, I do know it's pretty skin crawling disgust. Definitely love the articulation of the characters (if not for the lack of diversity).

Grim and unsettling ... a fast-paced read that is utterly absorbing.' - Kathy Reichs On the day she was abducted, Annie O'sullivan, a 32-year-old real estate agent, had three goals - sell a house, forget about a recent argument with her mother, and be on time for dinner with her ever-patient boyfriend. The open house is slow, but when her last visitor pulls up in a van as she's about to leave, Annie thinks it just might be her lucky day after all. Interwoven with the story of the year Annie spent as the captive of a psychopath in a remote mountain cabin, which unfolds through sessions with her psychiatrist, is a second narrative recounting events following her escape - her struggle to piece her shattered life back together and the ongoing police investigation into the identity of her captor. The truth doesn't always set you free. 'A heart-pounding debut. Stevens pulls out all the stops in this cat-and-mouse battle between a brilliant psychopath and his tenacious victim. By equal turns clever and compelling, this is the not-to-be missed thriller of the year.' - Lisa Gardner 'Not just a gripping mystery about a woman's abduction, a story about her hard-fought return - to self, to independence, to life. Frank, fierce, and sometimes even funny, this is a dark tale pinpricked with light - and told by an unforgettable heroine.' - Gillian Flynn, author of Sharp Objects '... a compelling, unputdownable thrill rid ... The twists are so treacherous and unexpected you'll need a neck brace by the time you finish.' - Linda Castillo, author of Sworn to Silence 'Engrossing, terrifying and ultimately full of girl-kick-ass, Still Missing will suck you in from page one.' - Chelsea Cain, author of Heartsick Still Missing is that rare debut find - a shocking, visceral, brutal and beautifully crafted thriller.


Still missing is a psychological fiction book that follows Annie O'Sullivan through a journey of being kidnapped, tortured and then thrust back to society and forced to cope. 

I started this some time back and have only come around to finishing it. I do no remember too much, I do know it's pretty skin crawling disgust. Definitely would love the articulation of the characters if not for the lack of diversity. 

The plot was all over the place, and it definitely took me more time to figure out the plot twist. Two stars for the sheer emotion evoking that I went through (physically had to not try to throw up around the time he made her drink the toilet water).

Do I recommend it? Yes. Sometimes you have to read a story for yourself to figure it out.
