Dear Captor by Liz Lovelock



🌟🌟🌟🌟 out of 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Synopsis:

Dear Captor,

You’ve stolen me.
You’ve spilled my blood.
You’ve brought me pain.
But what you’re yet to realize... I’m a fighter.
I’ve been broken before.
I’ve even at one point lost the will to live.
So now you know… this information I gift to you.
I’m ready for you, so do your worst.

Sincerely,

Elenore

EXCERPT

Prologue

What’s in a name?
Usually, parents name their children with a special kind of love in their hearts. Not mine though. They didn’t want me, or at least, that’s what they kept telling me. They only ever wanted to inflict pain. I was nobody until the woman next door gave me the lovely name Elenore. She cared for me when my own parents didn’t or wouldn’t.
Every single day I wished to be taken away from what I endured. Anywhere would have been good. I would have sold my soul to the devil himself back then, and I’d willingly do it now. Give my living essence to breathe, to live on. My entire childhood was a survival story, and now I have another.
So much blood. Everywhere I look, there are dark pools of solidified blood stuck to the walls, the floor—my entire cell is covered. The girls who came before me are no more. Their stories are over. It was gruesome, the stuff of your nightmares.
Not me, though—he kept me.
One letter changed my destiny of certain death. It was never in me to give up easily. I’ve always been a fighter. He never saw me coming, and he never knew my strength. He was not what I expected either.
His strength.
His calmness.
Or his kindness.
He was my captor . . .
 


*Arc generously provided in exchange for an honest review*

Wow! This book was amazing! I knew that I had to read this book after I read the blurb and I'm so happy that I received an arc so that I could. There were so many things that I liked about it and I'm excited because it is only part one of  Dear Captor. 

The story itself was well written with a great flow to it. It started off with a bang and never let up for one second. I was sucked in from the moment I began reading it and wanted to read more as soon as I finished it. I wanted to know what was going to happen in the next portion of the story and what was going to happen to the characters. 

 I loved how the author chose to give different points of view in the book particularly the captor. I enjoyed being in his head and trying to figure out how he came to be what he was and do the things that he did. I hope that I will get to know more of his backstory in the next book. I thought that Elenore was an awesome character. I admired her strength and resilience in the face of the horrors she had to endure. She had an interesting, in depth, backstory which helped me to feel like I knew her and could understand how she would feel about different things. The secondary characters were just as good even though we don't learn as much about them.

  1. I used to be obsessed with these kinds of stories. But finding a decent one wasn't so easy. I kind of gave up.
