T.I.M.E. BOOK REVIEW
The Prisoner by B.A. Paris is a gripping tale of one woman's journey to escape a nightmare marriage.
Suspenseful with twists, turns, and characters that will make you question everything you know.
Here are three reasons why The Prisoner could be a must-read in best thrillers for you:
1. The Plot is Unpredictable
From the very first page, The Prisoner will have you hooked. The story follows Amelie, a young woman who marries Jed Hawthorne, a wealthy businessman. Soon after the wedding, Amelie wakes up in a pitch-black room, not knowing where she is or why she's been taken. As she tries to piece together what has happened, she surprisingly realizes that her captors may be the only people she can trust. Quickly shifting this book within thriller novels into the crime fiction genre for crime novels as well.
2. The Characters are Compelling
From Amelie to Jed to Amelie's captors, everyone in this psychological thriller is fascinating in their own way. You will never quite know who to trust as each character seems to have a dark secret — and that sense of unease and suspense will keep you fully invested in this suspense novel from the beginning to the very last page.
3. The Writing is Engaging
B.A. Paris is an award-winning master of psychological thrillers and thriller novels... And The Prisoner is no exception. Paris knows how to build crime fiction tension and create an atmosphere of fear and dread on the page that blurs the lines of real life versus fiction, making for a truly engrossing reading experience.
Finally, I loved the beautifully written use of multiple timelines that brought Amelie's past and present circumstances to a climax in the story.
EPILOGUE
Perfect for readers who are thriller fans and love to approach reading a psychological thriller from multiple perspectives... With information dripped masterfully into the story from chapter to chapter.
Although I did find a few plot points were left hanging and the overall conclusion left me with a lot of questions, I know this is a trademark B.A. Paris element. And, that element keeps me a B.A. Paris biggest fan. As it never fails to connect me with the main character's experience who is also left with a future filled with questions, and a potentially unknown path forward... But with a hint of hope that she will be able to navigate it...✨😎✨

BOOK SYNOPSIS
Amelie has lost both of her parents (her mother as a young girl and just recently her father) and is struggling to make a new life in London.
She starts to build a network of close female friends who helps her find a job where they are working as well. There she meets Jed Hawthorne, her new boss, and the two get married in a "faux marriage" to solve the challenges each of them is facing individually.
But soon after their wedding, things turn dark quickly behind closed doors. Amelie wakes up in a pitch-black room, not knowing where she is or why she has been taken captive.
As she begins to piece together what has happened, she realizes that her captors might not be who they seem... and that her husband Jed has been hiding some deadly secrets of his own the entire time including a terrible crime.
