Sasha is a strong girl, i felt sorry for what happen to her in the past. Dex, annoying but hot neighbour. I love how he protect Sasha from her ex. It's dual pov book by the way... I overall enjoyed this book. The character development was pretty good and by the end I was really rooting for Dex.

Evaluation/Recommendation: I enjoyed this book because I got connected to Danny, the main character, who goes through struggles to get away from the monster and stand up for him self.

A very easy novel about running from a boyfriend who is nasty to your mum and setting up a life in a place that you grew up in.The Cage / False Hope / No Matches (3:34)* (contains crossfades between the three cues, although they are separated in the film) As of 2017 (for its 20th Anniversary), the film has also been released on Blu-ray in the US and Germany, with the same extras as each country's DVD. However, sadly I just didn’t connect with any of the characters and it took me a while to finish this book due to that as I just wasn’t invested in the story. It just wasn’t a read for me but the premise was fantastic and the topics handled really well, Abbie: Danny’s best friend, who gets caught in all of this, Chris Kane will stop at anything to get information, even if it id through Abbie.
