Terra is a high school student attending a fraternity party. She meets a guy and he offers to take her home but she decides to walk. She calls her friend Felix and talks to him while she walks home. She gets there safely but them is abducted from her bed later. After being trapped in a well for four days, she returns home. People begin questioning whether she was really taken or if she staged it for attention. She spends the next six months trying to prove it happened and why.

The book has a steady pace, the characters are somewhat developed, and it is written in the first-person point of view. Terra’s character grows in strength throughout the book while others turn against her. The problem I had with the book was the text conversations on the Jan Anonymous website. I wish there was another way the author could have provided the information without all the individual texts.
