Still Missing By Chevy Stevens

 

 

I am a huge fan of Chevy Stevens. Her books are thrilling and addicting. This book gripped my heart and then ripped it out. The main character goes through so much and it really makes you feel for her and wonder what you would do if you were in her shoes.

 

 Annie O’Sullivan is a thirty-two year old real estate agent. On a day like many others she is at a open house for a property that she is selling. A ordinary man come in to look at the house when he suddenly presses a gun to her back and forces her into his vehicle. She is held captive in a remote cabin for a year. 

 

The novel begins four months after Annie has returned home. Through sessions with her therapist, she discusses her horrific time in captivity. She is brutally beaten and rapped repeatedly.  After a harsh winter her capture begins to allow her outside. Eventually Annie finds herself pregnant.

Although originally disgusted to be pregnant with the child of her jailer, when her daughter is born she becomes attached. However one night Annie wakes to find her baby dead.

The capture refuses to tell he where he buried the baby. When he admits that he plans to impregnate her again, Annie kills him with an axe.

 

Annie tries to get back to normal and get her life back. Eventually Annie becomes conviSure nced that her capture also had a partner and that she may not be safe. She becomes friend with Gary, a police sergeant who was very kind of her. With his help Annie learns the truth. Her mother paid her capture money to abduct her in order to make money off of the story.

What the heck? I never could have seen that ending coming. Annie's mother said that the man was only supposed to keep her in the cabin, never to harm her in anyway. She said that she had no idea how sick her was. Her mother has go to be some kind of sociopath. Can you imagine doing that to your own child for some money?
