SYNOPSIS FROM AUTHORS WEBSITE⇣
Sophia Cova lived a quiet, normal life, shadowed in sadness after the loss of her parents in a tragic airline accident. With her older brother being her only living relative and her anchor, Sophia is sure she’s destined for a brighter future. But that was until she was taken.
Stolen from her mundane, orderly life, she was drugged, and woke to every woman’s worst nightmare.
With only four grimy basement walls and a rancid mattress, she loses her sense of time, and preserves what’s left of her dignity by hurtling herself into the safety of her mind. The men, the beatings, they come and go with no reaction, until she hears one word that sends an arctic chill through her body. Sold.
On the eve of Sophia’s bidding, all hell breaks loose in the mansion of horrors. Gunfire and screams erupt all around her, as panic rises.
Snatched by one monster only to be taken by another, Sophia slowly starts to learn that not everything is as it seems. When secrets unravel, and the twisted game of cat and mouse ensues, The Puppeteer pulls his favorite strings and chaos brews. Lives are lost while the clock ticks, and only time will tell who will be killed next…

MY THOUGHTS⇣
This started out rather dark with subject matter that was difficult to read/listen at times...but quickly moved away from that...and then became kind of boring and left me thinking too much about whether it was believable or not. Sometimes a slightly unbelievable plotline can be overlooked if the story keeps you engaged enough, but this failed to do that. And yet...
I was pretty caught up in the ending, enough that I might even try the second book. It's a big maybe because the narration is abominable, her male voices are so awful...I think maybe she tries too hard to make them sound manly and they just come off as a cringe-worthy kind of cheesy. Although, it could be doable since the next two books have added a male pov/narrator.
