Maybe the book's characters are a bit one-dimensional, but it's well written, as I have come to expect from Sharon Sala. This one is truly scary, not so much because of graphic blood and gore (though there is enough of that.) It's scary because the use and abuse of children is all too real, and is every parent's nightmare.
From back cover:
In the darkness of her memory terror lurks---
Street artist Jade remembers little of her childhood except for the time she spent under the ruthless control of a cult leader, a time marked by terrible abuse and suffering. For fifteen years since she escaped his grasp, she has survived by living on the streets and never putting down roots.
Ex-cop Luke Kelly knows his friend Sam Cochrane wants nothing more to find his daughter, Jade, who was taken from him as a child. So Luke uses all his connections to make that happen, not knowing that by reuniting Jade with her father he is exposing her to a deadly peril. In the healing embrace of her father's home, Jade--with Luke's loving help--begins to put fear behind her. But somewhere in the darkness, a man is prepared to kill rather than let Jade reveal the secrets of her childhood. And when her story makes the national news, that someone finally knows where to find her.
