It’s always okay to be afraid of something. Rape is one of them. This book “Danger in the Shadows" by, Dee Henderson. This book is both suspenseful and mysterious. This is about a woman named Sara Walsh who was a closed-up, reclusive author of children's books held captive by her past. When she was 6, she and her twin sister Kim were kidnapped for ransom and locked in a dark basement for nine days. Sara survived, but her sister didn't. Twenty five years later she is still terrified of the horrible memories and guilt that it was her fault. This book is hard for some people to read, because it is so tragic but then it shows you that eventually everything will be ok. I definitely recommend this book to all readers, who like suspense and mystery; because it is so mysterious you just don’t know what is going to happen next. This book is also extremely addictive because you just want to keep reading and reading because you want to know what’s coming on the next page or in the next chapter. This book is also just the right length its not way to long and its not really short. It wasn’t totally detailed, meaning it only gave detail when it needed it. In the novel Sara and this man get trapped in an elevator and she is terrified that it might be the man that abducted her and her sister because she never saw her attacker. But days later after they were looked in the elevator for a few hours she eventually tells him her story, but that doesn’t scare him away. Adam the man and Sara begin dating shortly after. This book goes from being scary and mysterious to a loving happy ending for the most part, because she is still afraid that her abductor will find her.
