The Plot (from Goodreads):
Amelie has always been a survivor, from losing her parents as a child in Paris to making it on her own in London. As she builds a life for herself, she is swept up into a glamorous lifestyle where she married the handsome billionaire Jed Hawthorne.
But then, Amelie wakes up in a pitch-black room, not knowing where she is. Why has she been taken? Who are her mysterious captors? And why does she soon feel safer here, imprisoned, than she had begun to feel with her husband Ned?
The Review:
I’m happy to announce that this latest title from B.A. Paris is a hit! The Prisoner is action-packed right from the start as Amalie is kidnapped and thrown into a pitch-black room. The reader finds out what happened through a series of flashbacks interspersed between scenes of Amalie trying to escape her prison and trying to figure out who her kidnapper was. I was so eager to figure out why she had been taken!
This was an extremely quick listen, and the story was tense and exciting throughout. Maybe we got a bit too thorough of a description of the room Amalie was kept in, but the plot unraveled brilliantly.
Audio Review: Georgia Maguire is a new-to-me narrator, but one I will certainly watch out for in the future! At ten hours long this audiobook was an average length, but I was too excited by the story to press pause and flew right through it.
