The Prisoner by B.A. Paris | Review

The Prisoner | B.A. Paris | St. Martin's Press | Pub: November 1, 2022 | Pages: 298

B.A.Paris consistently writes surprising and highly addictive books! I can easily say she’s one of my favorite authors. However, this one wasn’t my favourite of hers, but I still really enjoyed the story, and will still read everything B.A. Paris ever writes!

I never read the summary of books and I suggest doing the same for The Prisoner as it’s challenging discussing this book without giving anything away. It’s such a crazy, outrageous ride with a chock full of surprises that I recommend going in blind. You’ll thank me later.

If you've previously read books by this author, you know what to expect – the unexpected! I did get hooked in the first chapter, but the first half of the book moved at a relatively low pace. However, it did pick up quite a bit in the second half. B.A. Paris is a master at bringing in the suspense, I just wanted to keep reading to se what would happen next. This was such a fun and easy read, with short chapters (yay!). 

Thank you to St. Martin's Press for providing me with an electronic ARC of this book via NetGalley. As usual, my reviews are my honest and unbiased opinions.

Synopsis

THEN

Amelie has always been a survivor, from losing her parents as a child in Paris to making it on her own in London. As she builds a life for herself, she is swept up into a glamorous lifestyle where she married the handsome billionaire Ned Hawthorne.

NOW

But then, Amelie wakes up in a pitch-black room, not knowing where she is. Why has she been taken? Who are her mysterious captors? And why does she soon feel safer here, imprisoned, than she had begun to feel with her husband Ned?

With Behind Closed Doors, B.A. Paris takes the psychological thriller to shocking new heights. Now she'll hold you captive with this stunning new thriller about one woman wed into a family with deadly intentions.

In true B.A. Paris style, The Prisoner is a gripping survival story, a twisted tale of love and at its dark heart a thriller to keep you up all night.
