Sixteen-year-old Gemma is definitely on the layover at Bangkok Airport, headed to Vietnam with her parents. When she guidelines away for a moment, she encounters the somewhat older and oddly familiar Ty. Charmed by this extremely handsome young man, Gemma enables him to cover her coffee, which he secretly drugs. Her head swirling in confusion, Gemma is usually whisked aside to Ty’s remote house in the unforgiving Australian Outback. She soon discovers that Ty continues to be enthusiastic about her for years, and he thinks she will learn to like him, too. But Gemma is certainly no easy focus on. Clever and fearless, she plots her escape-even as her feelings toward her captor grow more sympathetic. This spectacular debut book from Australian author Lucy Christopher generated considerable buzz for its non-stop suspense and breathtaking imagery. The subtleties of Gemma’s fluctuating emotions are skillfully portrayed through Emily Gray’s narration.
