Resumen del Editor

Fifteen-year-old Hillary Greyson awakens from a horrific nightmare only to discover that she faces an even grimmer reality. She is completely naked on a bed in an unfamiliar, empty room, unable to move her limbs. Worse yet, she cannot remember who she is.

Panic-stricken, Hillary desperately searches her mind for answers, but finds nothing more than fear and confusion. A man enters the room—a stranger to Hillary. He introduces himself as Dr. Morrison. Seemingly benign, he informs Hillary that she is there for her own good…that she is under his care until she regains her memory.

Hillary cannot remember anything, but her instincts warn her not to trust this man who claims to be her doctor. She can only hope that someone will come looking for her…that someone will find her before it is too late. Several weeks later, Hillary’s situation has grown even more dismal. Still unclothed, coarse ropes bind her limbs to the bed while she is fed intravenously.

Two new strangers have entered her life—Monica, Dr. Morrison’s wife, and Dr. Bentley, who claims to be her psychiatrist. Yet they are more evasive than forthcoming. Her questions remain unanswered. She is trapped, with no hope of escaping…left to piece together the mystery of her miserable existence.

Abused and neglected, Hillary knows that with each passing day, her chance of survival diminishes. She spends her long days wasting away, growing depressed…growing angry. When all hope seems lost, a cruel twist of fate provides the opportunity she has been waiting for.

With renewed hope and an unrelenting will to survive, Hillary does whatever it takes to escape. She yearns for her freedom more than anything in the world. Hillary just wants to go home….

Perfection from the start.

without spoilers, I really questioned what this journey was getting me in to. I wondered the narrative that the author was bringing into this adventure of hers. It had so much heart. It had integrity. It had a side I wondered what her direction could be.
I was so far less than disappointed. I've listened to all of Angel's books, and this was the best so far. So much vivid imagination to the plot and story that she told, as well as what Angel is known for. This was a masterpiece.

Poet of sadism and Gore

Gelique is best in class at this particular genre, and her Hillary series is my personal favorite of all her works. I don't want to give too much away, but suffice to say this book is both hard to read and even harder to put down. Her vivid descriptions and emotionally resonant prose will leave you scarred and thirsty for more. Aside from being exceptionally good at dragging the reader through a broad range of emotions, Gelique is also impeccable at pacing--you'll be at the edge of your seat from page 1.

Hopefully more of Gelique's works will be available in this format.
