    About this audiobook

    They said she was armed. They said she was dangerous.
    They were right.

    Petty Moshen spent eighteen years of her life as a prisoner in her own home, training with military precision for everything, ready for anything. She can disarm, dismember, and kill-and now, for the first time ever, she is free.

    Her paranoid father is dead, his extreme dominance and rules a thing of the past, but his influence remains as strong as ever. When his final will reveals a future more terrible than her captive past, Petty knows she must escape-by whatever means necessary.

    But when Petty learns the truth behind her father's madness-and her own family-the reality is worse than anything she could have imagined. On the road and in over her head, Petty's fight for her life has just begun.

      Intense thriller! Loved it from beginning to end and it whirled wind my emotions. Great twists...
    • 4/5
      Dieses Buch konnte ich gar nicht mehr aus der Hand legen...die erste Hälfte habe ich wie im Rausch in einer Sitzung 'weg' gelesen, denn sie war an Spannung kaum zu überbieten. Dann gab es leider einen kleineren Einbruch in der Spannungskurve, da die Story reichlich unglaubwürdig weiterging (mitten im Tornado - echt jetzt?) und auch immer wieder Gefahr lief, zu einem kitschigen Jugendroman zu degradieren (wann 'kriegen' sie sich endlich?). Das wollte einfach nicht zu der ansonsten wenig zimperlichen Handlung passen. Anderseits waren die beiden Hauptpersonen schließlich fast noch Jugendliche, was sich also durchaus glaubhaft in der Denk- und Ausdrucksweise widerspiegelte. Glücklicherweise hat die Geschichte aber jedes Mal noch rechtzeitig die Kurve gekriegt. Die Auflösung schließlich kam nicht völlig überraschend, lieferte aber trotzdem ein würdiges und absolut zufriedenstellendes Ende.Der Wechsel der Erzählperspektive zwischen Petty und Dekker war im ersten Moment gewöhnungsbedürftig, hat mir dann aber recht gut gefallen, da man so beide Charaktere - aus eigener Sicht und in den Augen des anderen - noch besser kennenlernen konnte.Ein ungewöhnlicher und markanter Thriller, der im Gedächtnis bleibt.
