Seven Days - Alex Lake

 WoW! That was quite the story. It had everything a good thriller is supposed to have. It was chilling, disturbing, and creepy all rolled into one. I loved the twists and turns and right when you thought it was over, it wasn't. So well written. It flowed well with never a dull moment.

The plot is what sold me on reading the book in the first place. I mean a girl who is abducted at 15 and left to survive in a basement for 12 years, baring 3 children from the monster who had abducted her. Leaving her entire family and then left to fight for her life and the lives of her kids. Yea it sucked me in rather quickly.

The characters were fantastic. I loved everyone of them, even the bad guy in which you find out who it is from the very beginning. Definitely a character that you will love to hate. He was super delusional, wicked, disturbing and out and out menacing. I thought every one of the characters were very realistic, relatable, and definitely flawed. I loved seeing so many sides of them, dealing with loss, and recovery.

I look forward to all of the author's books. Well done Mr. Lake!
