Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books Living Dead Girl
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.List Containing Books Living Dead Girl

THIS BOOK WAS SO CREEPY AND MESSED UP BUT I LOVED IT.Elizabeth Scott is a genius. A literary genius. Ive read some of Elizabeths other titles, and I find myself wondering, how can these be written by the same person. And I dont mean that in a Stephenie Meyer/Breaking Dawn way. To have that kind of diverse talent, it is simply effing amazing. I read this book in one setting. It is truly powerful. The emotion sadness, despair its so apparent its freaky. How can I say that I loved a book about abduction, sexual abuse, and suffering? Why do you look
Terrifying. The ending wasn't what I'd hoped for, but not because it was bad. Because it was real.
Heart-breaking! Review to follow.
I struggled with how to rate this book -- from 1 star, to 5 stars, to no stars. There is a part of me that regrets ever having picked up this book, and definitely a part of me that (for better or worse) will never forget reading it. My first visceral reaction to it was that Scott had penned an outrageously exploitative, gratuitous book, one so gruesome in parts, and so fully realized, that I felt like an accomplice, aiding and abetting "Alice's" abductor. The book left me reeling from shock and
This was an okay book, just not really my cup of tea though.
no one would listen. I could have screamed a million times in a million voices and no one would have ever heard me. I did,every time I left the apartment, with every step I took out in the world. All those cries, and no one ever heard them Alice..
