Release

De: Lucy Christopher

Narrado por: Lucy Christopher

Both a courtroom drama and a road trip in the searing heat of the West Australian desert, Release is the story of two people confronting each other, each intent on destruction and survival.

‘Ever since I got here, I‘ve been scanning the courtroom, waiting for you. Even after everything, it is still always you, inside my head, inside me. Will it ever be any different?’

Ten years ago, 16-year-old Gemma Toombs was kidnapped from Bangkok Airport by an infatuated drifter, Tyler MacFarlane, who took her to a secret den in the Australian desert. Now her name is Kate Stone, and it’s her turn to confront Ty and try to find answers to the questions that have obsessed her since her ordeal.

What is the legacy of this coercive relationship? Who holds the cards now? In the confusion of past and present, will Kate remain trapped in a deranged dance of desire and revenge? Or will she regain control and find release?

A companion to Lucy Christopher’s best-selling novel Stolen, Release explores a young woman’s discovery of the complicated truth about a relationship that once seemed alluring.

I have read the first book and I love how this came out

I would read again. it's a very good book, I'll will be reading more from the person.

Amazing story

It’s an extraordinary book. In a very good way. Makes you really think. Surprising book. Provocative.
Second in the series.
The first one is ‘Stolen’.
I recommend both of the books.
Performance was also excellent.

This story will be left with me for the rest of my life. This is this kind of a book.

Edge of my seat!

This book kept me on my toes! There was a lot of excitement at tension! I really love they way the author wrapped it up. I enjoyed the style of the series- the way it was written as a letter to the captor. I will always recommend this series! The ending left me with a few questions, though!

A beautiful ending of a forbidden love story.

A surprising ending to a beautiful story. Bit of a cliff hanger but wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

their story

kept me captivated throughout both books!!!! I recommend these 2 books to several people.

Heartbreaking and beautiful

I read the prequel to this book years ago and sobbed like a baby, I always wished there was more to the story and was so happy when I found this. I was on the edge of my seat the entire book and was always surprised with what happened next!

I also loved that this one was narrated by the author because she really gives feeling to the story.

I don’t even know how to feel about the end but it was definitely surpirsing

So good

I love that the author narrated her own book. It really helped with understanding what the author was conveying with every conversation. I read the first book in the series years ago and was so excited to learn she wrote a sequel. The first book has stayed with me for years.

Left me just as emotional as the first

I finished Stolen years ago and had never read anything like it ever, it wasn’t until last week I saw she wrote the sequel and I was so excited for the many mysteries the first novel left you wondering.
Lucy Christopher writes as if you are there watching and feeling every emotion Gemma feels.
The sequel had me crying towards the end, her novels are unpredictable and keep you wondering throughout.
My only complaint sadly- I wanted more closure and answers between Gemma and Tye, it simply wasn’t enough closure from everything the INSANE things that happened in the first novel.
Overall an amazing visual story with complex characters. Sad it is done.

Brilliant

Sad but brilliant. Lucy Christopher writes in an engaging way that draws you in and makes you part of the story. I've listened to the whole book in a day and it was absolutely brilliant. So sad that it has ended.

This book had me on my toes

I loved the first booked, I’ve always been excited to read the second and I finally got around to it. I had no idea what to expect. She did an amazing job it was raw and beautiful story with a great ending.
