Review
This is a first rate thriller for teens who love suspense, fast-moving action and a bit of romance mixed in for good measure. Seventeen-year-old Kelsey has lived all of her life in a house with an extreme security system, even a panic room, and has never seen her agoraphobic mother outside of it. All her protective behaviors and low profile are shattered when Kelsey is in a horrifying accident that puts her identity in the news. She is saved by a volunteer firefighter Ryan, who becomes her love interest, but harbors secrets of his own. Kelsey comes home to find her mother gone, possibly kidnapped, and realizes her mother was not the only target. Readers will feel the panic, learn the workings of the panic room and will be left breathless from the dramatic action scenes.
Overall Book Score: excellent
