Stolen: the prize-winning psychological thriller

Product Information

I am so excited. I’ve turned this book into a lesson when I was a student aid in high school. It was fascinating seeing all the opinions everyone had on what was to come next. I’m very intrigued to see how the story progresses in this next book. I expected this to be a “Captive” Romance, where the Hero takes the heroine and treats her like he owns her, she is attracted to him from the start so she falls in love with him and they eventually live happily ever after. Those books may are pretty popular though pretty messed up, but as long as the heroine is attracted to the Hero and doesn’t actual fight him off it can all end up ok (in a romance novel). Let me tell you once more that at the beginning, I had expected myself to like this book, the writing is quite good even though I have my doubt about the subject matter: "What? That dude kidnaps this girl and he expects her to love him? And it's supposed to be a Young Adult book?!" The problem is, by the time you've grasped it all, it's too late. The story ends, and like Gemma, you find your heart aching for everything you finally understand.

What can I do to have an ARC? I just re-read Stolen again and I’m sitting here staring at my laptop and wondering how the hell I am going to wait until June to read this. Thanks for creating such magic in our lives with your work, Lucy!

I also found that the letter format (which I love) of the novel didn't quite work. Normally letters tend to give me an upclose understanding of the characters who write them, but in this case Gemma stayed anonymous and distant throughout the story. Endless "I"s and "you"s drove me nuts too.

It’s got this slightest little hint of magical realism. I would’ve really loved this book as a ten year old. Just finished it and I am sobbing, the characters feel so real, the writing makes you empathize so much with these characters. Bravo! I will literally pass away. Stolen has been my favorite book since i first read it, i cannot buy it in Brazil right now and i don’t think i will be able to buy Release but i wish more people new about the absolute masterpiece Stolen is and Release won’t fall behind. I cannot wait to read this book, I first read Stolen when it came out, as a young preteen in the corner of the local university library. It left such an impact on me and made for severe inspiration in most of my senior HSC essays. Very excited!!And how long will we sit here like this? Just another moment, or the rest of our lives? You know which one I’d prefer

I read Stolen in high school and now that I have graduated from college, I can’t believe the sequal is out!! I have been waiting so long and I’m so happy it’s finally happening. In fact, after ten or more years from its debut, a sequel of this story will be released on the 30th of June.

Ty is extremely charming and a bit of a paradox. He is multiple layered character, who although seems unsocial and outdoorsy, is good with words and can completely make you swoon. The main character, Gemma, is a strong and capable girl who actually makes smart decisions after being kidnapped by Ty. This is so refreshing because, although she is terrified after being kidnapped by a man who has been stalking her for six years, she still tries to survive.
