Kidnapped

by Alexandra Bell

Sienna Brooks became a photojournalist to help the rest of the world understand the plight of people in danger. So when she's offered a chance to travel to Somalia to photograph the civil war taking place there, she jumps at the opportunity.

Little does she expect to be kidnapped and held hostage, not knowing if each day will be her last, not knowing if she'll ever see the sun again. But when she escapes and runs into a US Marine, will he leave his post to help a complete stranger, or will she find herself alone in a strange and dangerous land once more?

This 15,000 word story is the first part of a trilogy.

[Amber Shaw · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book was strange. Had a good plot just needs to be exicuted better.

[Nicole · Rating 2 out of 5]

First in a “trilogy” — really it is the first in a serialisation of a story. Great ideas in the plot but the writing is terrible. Bell tells the story, rather than allowing the reader to experience it. Characterisation is not great. The protagonist appears to jump from one bed to another, and, even after being repeatedly raped at the hands of her captors, is immediately and sexually attracted to her rescuer.
Sorry, but I won’t be reading the others.
