Ten years ago, Olivia’s world shattered in an instant.
On what was supposed to be the happiest day of her life — her wedding day — she vanished without a trace, snatched from outside a church in a quiet Californian town. For a decade, she languished in a hidden underground prison, her only company the taunting voice of her captor and disturbing glimpses of the life she once had. When Olivia miraculously escapes, she is a shadow of her former self, struggling to piece together what happened and why. But freedom brings its own pain. Her fiancé has moved on, their daughter barely remembers her, and the world she fought so hard to return to is no longer hers.
As Olivia reenters a life that has moved on without her, haunting questions remain: Who took her? Why was she kept alive? And is the danger truly over? In a twisted maze of buried secrets, betrayal, and lost time, Olivia must confront her darkest fears to reclaim her life — or lose it all over again.

Amazing!
[...]This was a pulse-pounding, shocking thriller! Thank you to Philip Anthony Smith for allowing me to read an advanced copy. On her wedding day ten years ago, Olivia vanished without a trace, kidnapped outside of the church. She finally escapes, and struggles to piece together who took her and what happened. This one had me on edge the whole time, then a spectacular twist, then I thought ok, I know what’s going on, then another twist!! This is a must read if you love thrillers!

Edge Of Your Seat Thriller
[...]Olivia is abducted without a trace on her wedding day and held captive for ten years. After escaping, she returns to a world that has moved on without her. As she struggles to rebuild her life, she is forced to face up to her fears in a quest to discover who did this to her and why. This gripping nail-biter kept me engaged from the first word to the last. With twist after twist, I thought I had it figured out several times until that monumental final twist that I never saw coming. I positively recommend this to everyone looking for a sitting-on-the-edge of your seat thriller.

A Fun Popcorn Thriller!
[...]Olivia was kidnapped just moments before she was going to walk down the aisle on her wedding day. 10 years later she miraculously escapes her captor and is desperate to be reunited with her family, who have seemed to happily move on without her. As she struggles to find a sense of normalcy after a decade of captivity, she is also desperate for answers that explain who stole her life 10 years ago.This was a very addicting popcorn thriller! It starts off with a bang right away! The dual timeline storytelling allows the plot to unfold at a solid pace, however I did find one of the timelines to be more captivating than the other. I didn’t dislike the current day timeline, but Olivia as an MC did make some pretty frustrating decisions and at times seem almost dumb. At the same time, it’s hard to say how I would respond to the world around me if I had been locked in a basement bunker for 10 years… So maybe her character was more realistic than she sometimes seemed? The ending didn’t overly shock me, but parts of it definitely caught me off guard! I hate when a thriller ends with a really ridiculous far fetched twist that no one could have ever possibly guessed. I feel like this book’s ending had a nice balance of twists and sensibility. I will definitely be reading this author’s other books!
