I loved this book although it was difficult to read about the atrocities of the war. The theme of revenge was prominent, but more so the theme of love, human resilience, and hope. When everything has been taken away from both Jacob and Sarah, their homes, their families, their loves, their dignity, they still somehow find a way to begin again and build a new life.This story of the strength of the human spirit is inspiring as well as deeply satisfying.

I was excited to receive my copy of The Edge of Normal. I love psychological suspense novels and this one delivers. Reeve LeClaire is trying very hard to get back to "normal" with the help of her therapist, after escaping from four years of terror and abuse in captivity. When she is asked to help another rescued kidnapping victim, she unwittingly puts herself in the sights of another "Monster".

The writing in this novel is short and to the point, as are the chapters. This really works to keep you rapidly turning the pages, promising yourself - just one more chapter.

You will love this damaged, but very determined character as she moves out of her own limited comfort zone to help another try to return to normal. I read this in one day - devouring the pages as fast as I could.
