This is not an action adventure novel. Christopher has Gemma addressing Ty throughout the novel, so I thought she was talking to him after he was dead. I was wrong about that.
Gemma and her parents are on their way to Vietnam. When Gemma visits a coffee shop while waiting for the plan and Ty approaches her, I became paranoid about letting my own daughter go somewhere by herself because of the fear of her being kidnapped. One of a parents greatest fears!
When Ty kidnapped Gemma, I kept wanting her to escape and rooted for her to escape, but by the last fifty pages, I wanted Gemma and Ty to be together. I guess I experienced some of the Stockholm syndrome myself reading this.
This is like the novel Held, but I did feel the connection between Ty and Gemma more than I did with Chloe and her kidnapper. Even though Gemma is stolen from her family, she and the reader have to decide what was stolen from her.
