Trapped Review!

Angelina Matthews has everything—riches, fame, and beauty—until the day she's kidnapped and trapped in a basement with a madman, wearing only a stained t-shirt. The dirt is his—the blood is hers. Tormented and tortured, she cries out to God. Help comes in the form of Nate Goodman. When their paths cross months later, Nate discovers Angelina is still trapped—not in a basement but in the memories she can't escape. Nate knows all about being trapped, and getting un-trapped. As an ex-Chicago cop he's had his own demons to wrestle, but his faith helped him to move forward. He reaches out to Angelina whose paranoid delusions have her trapped still. But are they delusions after all?

My thoughts: Wow, this is a hard book to read at times, since Angelina goes through some horrible things when she is kidnapped by a madman. The book has plenty of grit, but it also has a wonderful message about where to go when situations leave you fearful and afraid to move. This book has a beautiful, deep message about faith and moving beyond fear. I thought that the characters were well written and that Nate was quite the hero, for him to recognize the trauma that Angelina had gone through and for him to come to her rescue a second time by helping her find a support group to help her with living with PTSD. This is an excellent book to pick up!

When their paths cross months later, Nate discovers Angelina is still trapped, not in a basement but in the memories she can’t escape. As an ex-Chicago policeman, Nate knows all about being trapped—and getting un-trapped so he reaches out to help. Between the two of them, they have more than their fair share of problems. But that’s what makes the story exciting.
I have a philosophy when it comes to writing. If I find it boring so will the readers! That means I cut out the boring parts and focus on the action. I loved writing this story with all its twists and turns.
