3 Star
Hunter “Cookie” Knox’s team was sent into the jungle to
rescue a woman from a well-respected family.
When they get to her they find another American. They can’t leave her, so they get her out but
now have someone who has been trafficked 3 months ago and has been passed
around and drugged. Fiona was not
expecting to get out of Mexico. When her
captors brought in another woman, she just thought it as another day until some
men came to rescue her. She almost didn’t
say anything and would have been left behind.
With everything she had been through she didn’t want to slow them down
while dealing with drug withdrawal. When
they all are states side again, she’s not sure what she’s going to do as she lost
her job, her apartments, and her life.
Cookie is determined to help her get back on her feet. When the SEALs are sent on a mission, she’s
left alone for the first time and doesn’t handle it well. Will the team be able to get to her in time?
This book started out really good. I was loving it but like I’ve said for other
books Susan Stoker has written about rape she doesn’t handle after the rescue
well. With this book you need to suspend
your expectation of help and care. Instead
of going directly back to base and sorting everything out half the team goes to
a safe house with Fiona. They patch her up
and help her with the withdrawal she’s going through but it doesn’t sound like
any medical personnel actually looked at her.
They also didn’t have anyone talk to her about what she went through
until she had a mental break and ran away.
I don’t think starting a relationship with someone who was sex trafficked
is someone you should start dating without extensive therapy. I really liked Cookie and Fiona I just wish her
mental health was handled better. It’s
not a horrible book but isn’t one of my favorites.
