Girl, Stolen by April Henry



A fairly straight-forward premise leads to a great read, one of those ones that you find yourself needing to know what’s going to happen.

A girl is lying on the back seat of her Step-Mother’s car while she’s fulfilling a prescription for the girl’s pneumonia. Then, the car is stolen, girl and all. Oh yeah, and she’s blind.

This is a gripping thriller where we’re really taken along with Cheyenne and experience it as she would, unable to see, but far from helpless either.

I’m not really sure what to say about this book without giving too much away, other than I really enjoyed it and didn’t want to put it down till I was finished. There are some scenes that are very uncomfortable, as some of her kidnappers are mightily unpleasant men, but that only adds to the edge, the compulsiveness of it.

It’s a straight-up great, realistic, suspenseful read.
