Interpretation Concering Books Still Missing
On the day she was abducted, Annie O’Sullivan, a 32-year-old realtor, had three goals—sell a house, forget about a recent argument with her mother, and be on time for dinner with her ever-patient boyfriend. The open house is slow, but when her last visitor pulls up in a van as she's about to leave, Annie thinks it just might be her lucky day after all. Still Missing interweaves the year Annie spent as the captive of a psychopath in a remote mountain cabin, which unfold through sessions with her psychiatrist, with a second narrative following the events after her escape—her struggle to piece her shattered life back together and the ongoing police investigation into the identity of her captor. Still Missing is a shocking, visceral, brutal and beautifully crafted novel.

Hey, I have a recommendation!Yeah, if anyones looking for some really hollow characters who behave in ways that make no freaking sense, plot development that is not even remotely believable, and disastrously bad writing thats actually kind of funny sometimes...schyea dude! Look no further, because this one has it all. In fact, it even has the bonus of a supposed twist ending where the author apparently mistook the word twist for pulled it out of my ass because I couldnt think of anything better.All of my reviews can be found on www.novelgossip.comIm joining in again with Throwback Thursday which was created by my good friend Renee at Its Book Talk. She started this weekly feature as a way to highlight old favorites and read books that have already been published. I have so many older books on my TBR that get ignored in favor of review copies and I figure participating in Throwback Thursday will help me to read at a least one older title a week! I read my first Chevy Stevens book a few
We learn about a womans abduction, her year long captivity with a psycho, her escape, and how the trauma affects not only her but everyone close to her. It is told in first person through sessions with a therapist, and I liked this approach. The story starts out very fast paced, with her being kidnapped within the first ten pages. I was hooked. The Freak, as she calls the captor in her mind, takes her to a windowless cabin somewhere in the wilderness. He reveals his plans for her over the course
The book blurb spells it out: a young realtor abducted from an open house, held captive by a psychopath for over a year, her journey of recovery. Partly told as sessions with her shrink, how she dealt with the trauma of her captivity hooked me more than the actual abduction story. Escaping was one thing, getting her life back another. Maybe I should put up my own flyers: Still Missing I bought into her character - the anger, bitterness, sense of alienation; all of it rang true. A gritty subject
We listened to this on a long car ride. It's a very strong psychological thriller, told from the perspective of the victim talking to her psychologist after being abducted. Annie was abducted, held hostage and then escapes her captor. Stevens does a wonderful job detailing what Annie must do to survive. You feel for her every time she ratchets down her self to keep going. And I don't think I've ever read a better description of PTSD than what Stevens details. This one keeps you on the edge of
OMG! I've just been on one of the scariest, most disturbing rides ever! What a nightmare - WOW!Annie O Sullivan, a Realtor, heads out to show a house one summer afternoon. Near the close of the open house, Annie is abducted by a potential client, a stranger who drugs and transports her to a remote mountain cabin on Vancouver Island where he repeatedly beats, rapes, and terrorizes her. As the days and nights of her captivity begin to blur together, Annie is forced to conform to the whims of a
From the Depths of Depravity...Thanks to my friend Mitsy for recommending this. She thought I'd like the psychology aspects: each chapter is a therapy session. The therapy format is a vehicle for heroine Annie O'Sullivan to tell her horrifying story.Annie is 32-year-old realtor living on Vancouver Island. She has a golden retriever, a boyfriend, a bitchy mom, and a stepdad. Neither Annie nor her mother have recovered from the deaths of her sister and father in a car accident years ago.Annie's
