Wretched

by Lynn Lowther

My body and soul are weak, and I am tired. I close my eyes and lie back on my bed. I dream of the past. My thoughts bringing back memories of trees, flowers and my fiance. He is waiting for me at the alter. It is the day I will marry the love of my life. I turn to walk outside the house. My breath is captured by a strange smell. I try to fight it but the drug is to strong. Darkness overcomes my consciousness.

I leap from my bed, my heart pounding, as my sweet dream is stolen by reality. My feet embed into the rat dropping and mud that once was carpet. I glance around. The dungeon remains dark and dreary. I let out a loud sigh.

I try to convince myself that today will be the day I escape. The sound of foot steps overtake the silence of the room. My heart skips a beat. I run to the middle of the room and take my position. Sitting on my knees, my hands tucked beneath me. This is the way I am to meet my captor and if this is not done I know the consequences will be dire.

Great thriller, alot of gore, not for the faint of heart

Great thriller, alot of gore, not for the faint of heart

Great thriller that held my interest throughout the whole book, alot of gore but has a love story intertwined. You become involved with the main character so much that you want her to survive. Highly recommend but not for children or someone who goes not like gore and horror.

Overwhelming

When I first started reading the book I thought I would have to quit because it was hard to deal with all the torment, pain, hatred, sadness, and evil that could be forced onto someone. Then the longer I read I found out there is light at the end of the tunnel. I am still hoping that the light will win over the darkness, even after reading the book. I will have to find out what happens with the next book.
