Lydia Albano

When Isla runs to the train station to wave her sweetheart goodbye, she is abducted and thrown into a train with a number of other kidnapped girls. After traveling for days, she along with a dozen other girls are selected and taken to a dungeon. One by one the girls are taken away until only a handful are left. Together, the girls escape and travel to the resistances camp.

Albano starts her tale in a dystopian society, reminiscent of Hunger Games and Divergent. Quickly things turn as the main character is romanced, then snatched and held as a sex slave/prisoner for a 'master Curran'. 1/4 through the book and Albano has set up unlikely relationships between the girls kept in the cell with her, and another older prisoner Des, but honestly, I'm bored. There's a whole lot of reminiscing and not a lot of action that holds me invested in the story. Already I'm skipping pages and speed reading, trying to find something that pops for me. I'm sorry, but this one just doesn't hold my attention.
