Review

Roza is a beautiful but damaged young woman who turns up one day hiding in a barn on a farm where two young brothers, Sean and Finnl reside. Roza is a damaged young woman who has been kidnapped by a strange man and Finn, who witnessed the abduction has a disorder where he does not recognize faces so everyone looks average and ordinary. As a result he is unable to identify the kidnapper and the kidnapper appears regularly to taunt Finn because somehow he knows about the disorder and feels safe from detection. The book contains sex, horror, and is quite sad in places. There is hope and determination by the "good" characters in the book to persevere and continue looking for a happy life. Highly recommend for older teens.

Overall Book Score: excellent
