By Hollie Overton
3110 days that's how long the man who claimed her for his
own held Lily captive. Lily was taken as
a teenager and escaped eight long years later - now an adult and a mom. Why he forgot to lock the door that day, Lily
didn't know, but she wasn't going to dwell on it and miss her only opportunity
to escape in eight years. Lily
cautiously left her "prison" with her daughter and once exposed to
the fresh air Lily carried her daughter running and running until they were
both safe.
Lily not only was able to identify her abductor, but she
knew him. She led the authorities to him,
and while he was at work, he was put in handcuffs and taken into custody. Lily
thought she would be able to finally breathe a sigh of relief and let the
healing begin, until she heard him whisper, "You've made a big mistake,
Baby Doll." Lily realized this was
not the end but just another beginning...the beginning of her next nightmare.
I came across the book Baby Doll accidentally and while the
premise was very interesting, I found the short biography of author Hollie
Overton just as interesting. I was
planning to read another book but went out and got this one instead. I also like how Overton incorporates some of
her own life into her story, like her identical twin sister. Baby Doll was action packed and I really
enjoyed the unexpected twists and turns.
I am looking forward to reading her second novel The Walls.
