Book description:

Crazy how eight years can disappear in an instant. One look at Katie Watts, and I'm a fifteen-year-old again--the one who risked everything to save a terrified girl from her twisted kidnapper. She's grown-up now--beautiful, quiet, composed--and telling her story to the world. A story that involves me in more ways than you can imagine. She used to call me her guardian angel. Sure, I risked my life, but she was worth dying for.

I need to make contact with her. Just to ensure that she's safe.

Somehow we reconnect. We become friends . . . but I want more. I want to make her mine. And she wants me too. Does she know who I am? Has she figured me out? Not yet. But she will. In the meantime, I need to make sure that whatever hold that animal had on her is gone.

So, yeah, I'm stealing these moments with her. Savoring them. Knowing, dreading, that she'll soon find out who I really am. And everything will fall apart. All because of that twisted, perverted monster sitting on death row. Her kidnapper. A convicted serial killer.

My father.

REVIEW

I received a ARC in exchange for a honest review.

5* read.

I love this authors work so I was beyond excited to get a ARC for this one. By the end I was dragged through such an emotional and beautiful story that even now I'm still processing it. It has a different feel to her other books and took you on a complete emotional journey that as a reader I completely invested in. This book does go between the past and present which usually in a book I don't like as I just get confused, but with this book the story needed to be told in that way and I didn't feel at all confused. My heart broke for Katie and Ethan but I loved the strong bond they shared and how their relationship as adults progressed. I don't want to give to much away but both characters have been through so much and the way this author wrote those really heartbreaking parts made me break for them and kept me reading throughout.

From the minute I picked up this story I didn't want to put it down. This is part of a 2 part series so it does end in a cliff-hanger. I can't wait for the second part to Katie and Ethan's story.
