About this ebook

A stunning debut novel with an intriguing literary hook: written in part as a letter from a victim to her abductor. Sensitive, sharp, captivating!Gemma, 16, is on layover at Bangkok Airport, en route with her parents to a vacation in Vietnam. She steps away for just a second, to get a cup of coffee. Ty--rugged, tan, too old, oddly familiar--pays for Gemma's drink. And drugs it. They talk. Their hands touch. And before Gemma knows what's happening, Ty takes her. Steals her away. The unknowing object of a long obsession, Gemma has been kidnapped by her stalker and brought to the desolate Australian Outback. STOLEN is her gripping story of survival, of how she has to come to terms with her living nightmare--or die trying to fight it.

Ratings and reviews

I really enjoyed reading "Stolen", Though there were a few slow moments I had a hard time reading, as well as moments too exciting to stop reading! The ending really gave this book a closer, which is almost rare with a lot of books. All in all I'd rate 3/5 stars.

I really enjoyed this book but seriously... you should only have an ending like that if you're planning on a sequel. It left you hanging too much!
