They were taken.
Off the street.
From parking lots.
Malls.
Playgrounds.
Snatched from life and thrust into hell.
They took Orion Darby on a perfect summer day, while she could still taste her first kiss on her lips.
She joined the others with chains on their ankles and scars on their souls.
They turned into nothing more than statistics.
Cold cases. Lost girls.
Years passed and the world forgot.
Until the day they escaped.
This is not about their captivity.
This is about their struggle to return to a life that's passed them by.
This was the real world.
But for Orion, this was hell.
You see... freedom isn't enough.
She needs blood.

Rating: 4.5 stars!!!
This story follows Orion and Maddox and is the first book written by these authors together. I loved that these authors collaborated on a book! I love both of their writing and I was happy that they worked together for this one!
Orion has been held hostage since she was abducted at age 14. She was riding her bike home after getting her first kiss and then she is taken and her life is never the same.
After ten years of being rapes and tortured, Orion is trying to get something of life back. With the help of the boy who was her fist kiss, who is now a Police Officer, Orion is trying to find out what her life could be now that she’s free.
I loved this heartbreaking and emotional book so much, it touched my heart and also broke it. Orion and Maddox’s story is one of love and acceptance and of moving forward despite a horrific past.
If you love romance and thriller books this one is right up your alley!!!

OMG!! I need more stars! I am completely blown away by this book.
By the blurb I knew it wasn't going to be the typical kidnapped tortured girl story. The story I got was riveting. I couldn't stop. I finished the whole thing on a rainy Saturday.
The strength of heroine was immeasurable. I don't want to say a lot because you need to read and experience this book for yourself.
I finished on the edge of my seat. I didn't know how it would end. I loved it!! BUT I am a greedy reader and stopping with that jaw dropping conclusion left me screaming I WANT MORE!! Its not a cliffy, we are left with a tease of what the future holds.
I have enjoyed both Anne Malcom and BT Urruela's books. Together they are AMAZING!!!

Meet BT Urruela
BT Urruela is a combat wounded amputee, purple heart recipient, contemporary author who has written both independent and traditionally published books. He is a RARE under 40 award recipient, Rockwood Summit High School and Rockwood School District Hall of Fame inductee, Co-founder and Brand Ambassador for VETSports, Ambassador for Tampa Sports Academy, People Magazine Tribute for Heroes winner, Cover Model, Motivational Speaker and Philanthropist.
At an early age he began writing short stories having been inspired by reading books authored by RL Stein. His maternal grandmother's bookshelf was filled with literature that inspired his young mind and cultivated his vivid imagination.
Upon graduation from high school his desire to have a 20-year military career was cut drastically short by an improvised explosive device. Taking the life of his commander, and leaving the remaining four team members badly wounded.
After careful consideration and multiple surgeries, he along with the guidance of his doctors made the decision to amputate. It was the only surgery he ever left with a smile on his face, as if a weight had been lifted. He struggled for two more years through 4-5 hours of physical therapy a day, five days a week to get adapted to his new prosthetic. He medically retired from the Army with high hopes. His focus on restoring his physical shape being the most eminent battle caused him to neglect his psychological state.
Meeting people was difficult and there were very few options for veterans to utilize that would stimulate friendship, and ultimately, allow communication barriers to be breached. After moving to Tampa, Florida, he co-founded the veteran community sports nonprofit, VETSports, with two other combat wounded veterans. It was their mission to change the way veterans transitioned back to civilian life through organized team sports, community involvement, and leadership opportunities.
After being invited to attend a photoshoot with acclaimed photographer Michael Stokes, he flew to California in December of 2014, with incredible excitement. His photos were so widely publicized that he soon gained exposure to the literary world like he'd always dreamed of. That opportunity launched him into his present writing career. He co-wrote the novel 'A Lover's Lament with author KL Grayson. The following year he released first solo novel, 'Into the Nothing' and will be releasing Wicked Little Words with author Stevie J. Cole. He is now writing full-time.
