**I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher Simon Pulse vie Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. The expected publication is July 14th, 2015**
This story read a little bit different for me. Although the concept is not exactly unique, it is the first that I can recall that was written entirely in the first person. This kept the story focused entirely on Ruth and her situation and left out any other noise. It felt like a long monologue. A frustrating and terrifying monologue.
As with any suspense cat and mouse type stories I found myself screaming and frustrated as Ruth struggled to escape. Just when you get a moment to breathe, BAM! the story shifts. It reminded me of an eighties horror movie. You know the kind, the victim is running as fast as they can and the bad guy is slowly walking....and still manages to catch up to wreak havoc.
The length of this story was good. I find with this type of story if it is too long my attention tends to wander. In this case it was just long enough to offer up the suspense and action but not to long to overstay it's welcome. My mind...or is it my heart.. can only handle so much of this type plot.
This story is written so that it can appeal across multiple demographics. Both YA and older will be able to follow this. Overall I thought it was a good read and I will be staying away from remote cabins in the mountains for quite some time
