Griffin, one of the men involved in the kidnapping helps Cheyenne escape. He feels horrible about what he did. Does Cheyenne escape or is she living in a nightmare still?Find out by reading Girl, Stolen!
I really enjoyed this book! I enjoyed it because the book made me put myself in Cheyenne’s situation. It had lots of good description too! This book reminds me of the theme, determined. Cheyenne was determined to get out of the kidnapped situation and escape. Something that I thought was very interesting was that this book was put into a 3rd person storyline. The book was amazing, don’t get me wrong, but I think that book would be just that much better if it was put into 1st person. The author did a great job writing this book with lots of description, sensory imagery and figurative language.
