Land of the Living - Nicci French

Summary: Abbie Devereux wakes up and finds herself hooded and bound, with no idea of how she ended up in this terrifying state. She is tended to by a man she never sees: a man who makes the promise that he will eventually kill her "like the others".

Review: The descriptions of the dingy dark room that she's in are so vivid that one can almost imagine oneself to be in her position as prisoner. ''I was his. He was my lover and my father and my God. If he wanted to come in and strangle me, he could.' The shock factor is definitely there and it's a welcome relief when she makes her escape. But even then the reader knows that things are far from over - this is just the beginning. She loses her memory from the last few days before her capture, and her struggle to find the truth, and to claw back her forgotten days makes an interesting and gripping book. I'd definitely recommend it.
