The Prisoner | 
pickI enjoyed the pacing of this thriller and found myself trying to work out just what was going on and why the ransom being requested for their safe return was so unusual.I was rooting for Amelia and her release, her story was riveting and didn't allow my interest to waiver in the slightest. Ned (the husband) was a character that I loved to hate. I also enjoyed the way the twists in the story lines concluded. Another very enjoyable read.⭐⭐⭐⭐
pickWTF DID I JUST READ?! Seriously?! I‘m not sure I even know what just happened. I‘m going to be processing this one for a while. This book is one hell of a mental trip. Just be ready to ask WTF repeatedly.

pickThe Prisoner is a gripping survival.story, a twisted tale of love, and at its dark heart, a thriller to keep you up all night.
Amazon Original Stories:
Murder at the Royal Ruby - Nita Prose
The Mosquito - B.A. Paris
People Like Them - Minka Kent
Heart of a Mother - Julie Clark
Slot Machine Fever Dream - Chris Bohjalian
Just A Girl - Alyssa Cole
Quickly devoured The Obsession series- a series of short stories. Well developed characters and story. The Mosquito was my favorite. I didn't like the writing style of Slot Machine Fever Dream.

so-soThis was the epitome of “okay”. The situation was intriguing enough, the characters ok, but the twists weren‘t actually that hard to figure out. And everything felt so rushed that I didn‘t feel like we really got a chance to know any of the characters so couldn‘t feel that bad when things happened to them. All in all it was a quick listen that kept me interested enough to keep going. 🌟🌟🌟
pickI kept reading this book and was interested in the outcome but was disappointed because it was glaringly obvious what was going on. Maybe not exact details but an overall overview was obvious from the beginning. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickFinished this last week too! An interesting premise: a woman being held in captivity, but she feels safer there than if she were to be with her husband? What happened to her? It‘s a thrilling ride to find out. I don‘t want to give away too much. If you liked Paris‘ previous works, you should like this one! I really feel for the main character! Eager to know what other readers thought!
pickThis was a fast-paced psychological thriller that I greatly enjoyed. I liked the nonlinear timeline; Paris dangles bits of information in front of the reader from both timelines–past and present–in ways that not only kept me hooked and that were then brought together so well. While some of the plot points were easy to figure out, there were enough surprises to keep my attention. The characters were interesting and well-developed, and relatable.
Amelie has always been a survivor. She lost her parents as a child in Paris and made it on her own in London. Later, she is swept up into a glamorous lifestyle where she married the handsome billionaire Ned Hawthorne.
But then, Amelie wakes up in a pitch-black room, not knowing where she is. Why has she been taken? Who are her mysterious captors? And why does she soon feel safer here, imprisoned, than she had begun to feel with her husband?
Lots of great ones on this list!! Have you read any of these? 📚

pickI admit that I plowed through this psychological thriller as I had to know what was happening and if I had figured it out correctly. I found it an enjoyable read, but like others, I found the ending a little convoluted and the story does slow down some. The resolution just seems to be overly complicated. This, therefore, is one of those books that is a lot of fun if you do not think too hard about it...just enjoy the ride. 3.75/5
pickThis psychological thriller starts off well and I was quite gripped by it. However, towards the end it does get quite far fetched and convoluted. I also found the ending a little disappointing so this put a big dampener on the whole thing. I read this book via the #Pigeonhole app over a period of ten days. I looked forward to each stave as I was eager to find out what it was all about. I did enjoy it but with some quibbles. 3.5⭐️
pickReview is up! This is intense!

Sticking with great authors right now and opening up this one!
pickThe first 70% of this was very atmospheric as it led the reader through what Amelie was experiencing whilst kidnapped with the light deprivation etc, alternated with chapters about her early life. Amelie was fairly easy to empathise with, although she was a little naïve, not only in accepting a job from someone she had only just met who could have had nefarious motives, but also in agreeing to marry Ned.

pickI don't know if it is me, because I have been sick, but this one wasn't as good as her other books. It was still good, but for some reason wasn't as thrilling. I still give a pick though. Finished it last night.
pickA prisoner…but where?
Is Amelie a prisoner in her own home, in the basement where she is held captive, in her mind, or all three places?

A prisoner…but where?
Is Amelie a prisoner in her own home, in the basement where she is held captive, in her mind, or all three places?
It is a little slow at first, but you will need to continue reading because you HAVE to find out what really is going on and what happens.
Another good one for thriller fans and fans of Ms. Paris. 4/5

Amelie has always been a survivor, from losing her parents as a child in Paris to making it on her own in London. As she builds a life for herself, she is swept up into a glamorous lifestyle where she married the handsome billionaire Ned Hawthorne.
pickWelcome to the mind games. Amelie and her billionaire husband, Ned, are kidnapped in the middle of the night. Who took them and why?
In classic B.A. Paris style, the twists and turns kept me guessing. I was hooked from the very first line. Everything goes as expected right up until it doesn‘t. While I enjoyed this fast paced thriller, a critical point in the plot left me with a lot of questions.
pickI love this author. And I love that even if I do figure out some stuff, I'm not sure and I definitely don't figure out everything.

pickLove these books! Amelie gets kidnapped after a quickie marriage and is literally kept in the dark. Alternating between past and present, the novel details her life as well as hidden identities, secrets, and lies.
