Living Dead Girl, by Elizabeth Scott

SYNOPSIS – (From Goodreads)
Once upon a time, I was a little girl who disappeared.
Once upon a time, my name was not Alice.
Once upon a time, I didn’t know how lucky I was.
When Alice was ten, Ray took her away from her family, her friends her life. She learned to give up all power, to endure all pain. She waited for the nightmare to be over.
Now Alice is fifteen and Ray still has her, but he speaks more and more of her death. He does not know it is what she longs for. She does not know he has something more terrifying than death in mind for her.
This is Alice’s story. It is one you have never heard, and one you will never, ever forget.

THOUGHTS

Gosh, Living Dead Girl was terrifying, amazing, and everything in between. This book really scared me! Every page was so intense, I couldn’t put this book down. I also couldn’t believe what I was reading. Is this what it’s like to be kidnapped? Because Elizabeth Scott wrote a pretty realistic book.
“Alice” which is not even her real name (Ray decides to change her name to that), lives with Ray in his apartment. She’s free to go to the park or to go grocery shopping, which gives her every possible chance to run away, but she doesn’t. If she does, Ray won’t think twice about killing her family. It’s heartbreaking to see her protecting her family, especially when she can’t even protect herself.
The cover was just as disturbing as the book; intriguing and astonishing. Didn’t the cover make you wonder what this is about? It made me! I was immediately drawn to Living Dead Girl after I saw the cover.
Finally, I just wish Elizabeth Scott wrote more to the ending. It would have been better.
I highly recommend you read Living Dead Girl as soon as you get the chance. The description is right. This book is something that you will never forget reading!
