Abducted.
Terrorized.
Imprisoned.
At nineteen-years-old, college student Josie Stratton was kidnapped by a madman and held shackled for ten months in an abandoned warehouse before she finally escaped her hellish prison.
Eight years later, when the body of a young woman is found chained in the basement of a vacant house, Cincinnati Police Detective Zach Copeland is instantly reminded of the crime committed against Josie Stratton. Zach was just a rookie on the perimeter of that case, but he’s never forgotten the traumatized woman with the haunted eyes.
As more information emerges, the crimes take on an even more sinister similarity. But Josie’s attacker died by suicide. Does the city have a copycat on its hands? A killer who picked up where the original perpetrator left off? Or are they facing something far more insidious?
Josie has spent the last eight years attempting to get her life back on track, but now there’s a very real chance she could be the unknown suspect’s next target. As Zach vows to keep her safe, and Josie finds herself responding to him in a way she hasn’t responded to any man in almost a decade, the investigation takes on an even more complex edge of danger.
As past and present collide, Josie and Zach are thrust toward a shocking and chilling truth. A revelation that threatens not only Josie’s life, but everything she’s been fighting so desperately to reclaim.
Review
Holy moly, Mia Sheridan outdid herself with Where The Blame Lies.
It's taken me a few days to fully understand and process the amazingness that is this book. This is something different to all the other books that Mia has written, it has suspense, intrigue, murder, horror, and so much more.
Josie Stratton's story is one I can't even wrap my head around. It takes a very strong human to survive and live a full live after what she experienced, it broke my heart, it made me cry, I just wanted to save her and hurt the man that put her through so much. Zach becomes Josie's knight in shinning armor, he won't stop until he finds the man that made her undergo so much, he becomes her support system, her protector, her light after the storm.
Personally, I don't like thrillers and I'm not a fan of books that are written on the third person, but this is a MASTERPIECE! Every scenario, every character, were perfectly crafted to make this book one that I can guarantee you'll never forget. The details throughout the story were vivid and took me right were the action and horror were taking place. Not having a clue who was committing the crimes was riveting to me. It kept me reading and reading until my eyes were tired and I thought I couldn't go anymore, but keep reading I did living the hell Josie went through.
I can tell you right now, this will be the best book of the year for me, I've read some amazing books this year but this one went above and beyond playing with my head and my feelings. Extraordinary story from an author who is not afraid to give her all for her readers.
