When I was searching around for some interesting blurbs, I came across some brilliant descriptions which make me jump right into the book. This was one such book that intrigued me with an interesting plot.
Brooke was kidnapped on her way back from work and she is placed as a captive in a cabin in some unknown woods. It has been several years. But then, it is not just Brooke. Other people have also been kidnapped and all have been acting out a certain part that was designed for them. Escape from the cabin is impossible even though it is wide open as it could mean sure death. If you don't play your role as expected also you might end up dead. This all changes when a new person arrives as a captive. It might just be time to turn the tables around trying to escape the clutches of the perpetrators.
The concept was interesting in the first place and different from other plots involving kidnapping and captivity. People are being held as open captives and cannot escape. This was very intriguing. The read was a pretty quick one, but some places seemed to drag me back. Maybe 30 - 35 pages less could have made it more crisp. The characters were interesting, and the backstories unfolded well. The author had done a nice job of keeping the story exciting even though most of the story was confined in the cabin. There was a parallel story running which did intrigue me, but the way it connected with the main plot and the action at the last was exciting enough.
In short, a decent read for thriller fans which can be read within a day or two. But then the dullness mars the read at one or two spots.
