The Prisoner – B.A. Paris

Do you ever truly know the person you marry?

Amelie had a rough childhood. After losing her parents, she runs to London to escape her past in Paris. She meets and marries a handsome billionaire, only to discover that he isn’t what he seems. He’s got a dark side to him, one that may end her life.

I was able to read this one in exchange for an honest review on NetGalley. I truly enjoyed it! Paris does a beautiful job of telling the story. I especially loved the way the two timelines came together. The transitions from past to present were flawless and kept you wanting more. The pace was decent, throwing you straight into the action and then backing up to explain.

You could feel the emotions coming off the page. Her fear was palpable, her anger substantial. The depth of the characters was outstanding, and they had the perfect amount of backstory. The descriptions were so well done I could picture each scene vividly. I liked how the story wrapped up and didn’t notice any plot holes. The end of every chapter was suspenseful enough to keep me going. I kept questioning the truth until the end, and all of my questions were answered. The ending was fantastic.

I did take away a star as I found about five errors that took me out of the story. Other than that, I loved this novel.

I give it four out of five stars.
