I've read several books by Rick Hautala, all of them from "Moondeath" up through the "Intensity" ripoff, "Impulse," and every time I finish one of them I put it aside and ask myself why I have wasted my time reading a book by a man who writes as well as Richard Nixon sings. This is another suspenseless piece of fodder that features excruciatingly annoying characters (a Hautala staple). This one was so bad it ended my string of reading his books, so for that I must be grateful. My fave scene is the one where the girl is trying to escape from the bed where her captor is sleeping and she stops in the middle to have an out-loud conversation with her "protector." Hautala should return to remedial writing class...where...he'd learn...that ellipses...and exclamation points...shouldn't be used in...every...sentence!
