Now, before I go any further I want to put out a disclaimer, Inescapable deals with tough issues of domestic violence, mind control, and sadism, if you are not comfortable with any of those topics, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!
Just one word sums up Inescapable in a nutshell...WOW! This book shook me to my core, I didn't know or even understand how this book would affect me, but as I sit here typing this review in tears, or feeling the pain for a fictional character, that escapes for a nightmare, only for the nightmare to come after her.
When it comes to the characters, the book heroine is Alex/Isabelle; and from the Innocent 11-year-old girl, sent to a home after the loss of parents, to an 18-year-old who just wants to better herself, to 9 years later, a prisoner and beyond, you follow along with Alex's story, praying that she will eventually be free. This story moved me in so many ways, and I don't even think I can express what is going on inside my head.
Now, normally I would go into the other characters, and their backgrounds, but I don't think we need to, I just want to say that this is a book that you will not want to put down, or for the story to ever be over!
I want to give a special kudos to the author C.J. Fallowfield for the talented writing, the in-depth research into these extremely tough subjects, and for giving us a story that not only lights a bigger spotlight on domestic violence, how it starts, the police restrictions, but to also do it in a manner that is sympathetic to the victim, be it fictional or not.
I give Inescapable 5 stars.
