Description

Once upon a time, I was a little girl who disappeared.
Once upon a time, my name was not Alice.
Once upon a time, I didn't know how lucky I was.
When Alice was ten, Ray took her away from her family, her friends -- her life. She learned to give up all power, to endure all pain. She waited for the nightmare to be over.
Now Alice is fifteen and Ray still has her, but he speaks more and more of her death. He does not know it is what she longs for. She does not know he has something more terrifying than death in mind for her.
This is Alice's story. It is one you have never heard, and one you will never, ever forget.

This was a very sad book,it makes you want to save her from the evil person who stole her life,her innocence,her trust in mankind.the book note say's this has never happened to anyone,but I beg to disagree it has probley happened more then we know,so many child abductions,some we find dead,some we never find at all and who knows what is happening to them,they may be living this story today,and we know nothing about it.this world is so full of evil people just waiting and watching our children who we love so much,just waiting for that one golden moment to snatch part of our life away,so they can fulfill theirs.and yes you could meet them on the street and not have a clue.So many people look the other way ,deep down inside you know something is wrong but you do nothing,because you do not want them to say mind your own business,or you do not want trouble at your door,so you stay quiet and when you do that some poor child's life is over,So please when you think something is not right speak up,it might just be your own child or neighbor you save,this poor girl in this book made me cry for her,and hate the sob who had her,, it's a very good book but like I said it's also an eye opener ,

AMAZING

To be honest I read this book in 1 day! I just couldn't stop reading it was so good ahahahah! I recommend this book to young adults (teens)! I'm 13 but I'm very mature for my age and I could handle the book. It was very exciting and sad! But so amazing!!! You definitely need to buy this book so worth it!

Just as the summary promised this book is frustrating, tragic, and raw. However the writing is cramped. Each sentence chops after the previous making the story seem rushed. I think this book could have easily been at least a 600 word story but rather the author decided to cram it all into a mere 222 pages. I felt a bit let down in that aspect but other than that the story is wonderfully sad and is one that everyone will remember.

It made me cry in realization of my own horror that happened to me... It was amazing and jaw dropping...it reminded me of what happened to me and the lengths ppl will go to be cruel and ruthless... He disgusted me and she tugged at my heart strings... No book will ever be my favorite. This is #1

Outstanding

This book is incredible. It shows a side that no one ever thinks about. Things that happen in the darkness. Things no one ever hears. It shows how someone so broken can come back and save what they have become. I recommend this book to anyone. It really changes your view of life. A MUST READ.

Well

This book is a must-read because it is amazing! "Alice's" struggles and Ray's abuse are what make the book so intriguing, I had to fight myself to put it away. I do warn that this book is not a light read, I was almost sick more than once, but do read this book, the ending will tear you apart!

I LOVED THIS BOOK! From start to finish this book was so amazing that I could hardly put it down and read it in a couple of hours. The characters are very well written especially Alice as you feel what she has to go through. I highly recommend this book!

This book is disturbingly sensational, a true masterpiece. Showing a world from the eyes of a victim in terms hard to speak. The author definitely puts a detailed twist, and phenomenal ending to this beautifully written book. Perfectly memorizing!!!!!!!

Scary but amazing

I love this book. Ray is such a mysterious character, and so is Kyla/Alice. I especially love the last chapter: I am free. Breathtaking. Worth reading over and over.

Heartbreaking but bewitching

- a terrible story no one really wants to hear or believe. But so brilliantly written with a worthwhile ending and a very important theme. I give it 2 thumbs up.

Wow... That is all I can say. There is no words that can describe the emotional depth to this book. One of those rare books that really changes your perspective. My mouth hung open the entire time when I read this, it was so sad. But the rawness of this book was to shocking to make me cry.
