Girl In Trouble Review
| ** spoiler alert ** The opening of the book is creepy as the person (whose definitely a serial killer) is shown to be pushing a young girl's body into the river with no remorse! This story is a about a young girl called Ariana, who's kidnapped and her dad is driven to find her. I like Ariana's and her father relationship. Ariana when kidnapped shows great strength of character and a cleverness far beyond her eleven years. The story itself is action packed and a true page turner, I couldn't put it down! The ending was surprising befitting the story but I felt a lot of information was missing. I would have liked if the author had explained some of the key points, like how could the serial killer pull off living where he was without the resident of the house knowing it and some other things but I don't want to give any spoilers. But the book was a great read all over, no boring scenes, I quiet enjoyed this one. About the AuthorStacy Claflin writes about complex women overcoming incredible odds.
