- I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm contemplating a sequel for the characters, if I can get the time and figure out a plot. Thanks for the review!

Very exciting and entertaining to read, with a good starting idea and a surprising end. Some passages are only for the friends of really hard stuff.
(9/10)

- This was somewhat of an experiment for me, imagination-wise, to see how far I could go with a character without going to the point of ridiculousness. Hence the harder passages. Still, I tried to incorporate a love theme (somewhat) at the end because I believe all good stories should have a happy ending.

Excellent story. There is always a little more suggested than what actually occurs - the fear of rape, the terror at injury or worse. Grat use of suspense. (10/10)

- I'm glad you liked it. I had the benefit of several editors who had experienced crucifiction and had helped me with suggestions on the process and the emotions that the victim would feel. While they would prefer to remain anonymous, I feel I should at least acknowledge their assistance. So, THANK YOU!
