Description

A kidnapped girl survived twelve nightmarish years. Now she's safely back home . . . or is she? Jenny Kristal was six years old when she was snatched off the sidewalk from her quiet suburban neighborhood. Twelve years later, she's miraculously returned home after escaping her kidnappers—but as her parents and older brother welcome her back, the questions begin to mount. Where has she been all these years? Why is she back now? And is home really the safest place for her . . . or for any of them? “Fantastically good—dark yet compellingly upbeat, and insanely suspenseful . . . Even the twists have twists.”—Lee Child, 1 New York Times bestselling author “Dark, compulsive, full of OMG moments. If you think you know where it’s going . . . YOU DON’T. This is one you won’t forget in a hurry.”—Lisa Jewell, New York Times bestselling author of Then She Was Gone Read more

    • Hope is eternal.
I liked the twists and turns and surprise ending. There is so much that goes on in a person’s life that we really don’t know or can even comprehend. “Safe” offers up an emotional and almost unbelievable journey into the life of a young person who has “adapted” herself to any situations in order to stay alive. A great read! ... show more

    • Thriller
Safe is definitely a page-turner novel and like some of the other recent reviewers, I read this book over two evenings and part of one afternoon. After all, not too much is “safe” to do today, today being July Fourth. Good for popcorn munching along with reading. My main contention is why the author used a psuedonym following the major movie made of a prior book. It was reminiscent of “Room”, made into a major movie. Did Donahue write this novel? The web site “Stop, You’re Killing Me” has no listing for S.K. Barnett. Or was it another author, who wrote an historical, serious novel that became a major movie?! Let the readers have a reveal of the author. Will the actual writer step forth and be unmasked?! Keeping social distancing in mind. ... show more

Not SAFE about taking a Crack at the Catholic church. Other than that, it filled some time for me.

    • "a truly page-turning thriller"
What are the things that make you feel safe? 2020 has been a year of fear and uncertainty for many, and the idea of safety seems to be one worth exploring. COVID-19 has become an all-encompassing subject, one that promotes much debate, unpredictability, and even fear. I'll admit that my own anxiety levels have increased this week as the number of cases has rapidly risen in my own state. Safety has become a paramount priority for me and my family. The ability to transition to working from home again after a month of being back at work certainly plays into my sense of security. However small it may seem, wearing my mask when I venture out into public also makes me feel safe. Beyond COVID-19, I find safety in the routine things like cooking dinner, playing with my dog, and falling into the story of a really good book. It seems no coincidence that this week's read is appropriately titled Safe by S.K Barnett. I was gifted a copy of the book from the publisher and was eager to dig into this intriguing thriller. It has been nearly twelve years since little Jenny Kristal disappeared. The six-year-old was walking from her family home to a sleepover at a friend's house when she was snatched from the streets, never to be seen again. Her parents immediately began the search for their daughter while struggling to hold things together for the sake of their son, Jenny's younger brother Ben. But twelve years is a long time. Even the most optimistic person would have a hard time believing Jenny would ever return home. Parents Laurie and Jake are starting to run out of hope. At a certain point, it may be best to simply move on. Things change when a woman claiming to be Jenny is found by the police. She seems to fit the description of the missing child. She has the same blonde hair, same age, same dimples when she smiles, and she can even recall details from her life before the abduction. The woman tells a story of escaping from her abusive captors and making her way back home to safety. Laurie and Jake are quick to accept that their daughter has returned. Ben is a bit more skeptical. Years of being apart have been hard, but the return of Jenny means the family is finally all back together. Jenny is finally safe. Or is she? In Safe author S.K. Barnett brings a different take on a classic missing person mystery. Rather than focusing on the time of looking for the kidnapped child, Barnett picks up the story when the family is reunited. The novel digs deep into what comes after the happily ever after, revealing that the resolution of the years-long case is hardly the end of the story. The joyful reunion between parent and child soon gives way to drama, paranoia, and fear. Barnett deftly writes compelling character development while still filling the book with the twists and turns that make it a truly page-turning thriller. The revelations about each character intertwine with the driving plot, propelling the novel forward at a rapid pace. Flashbacks are interspersed with the present-day story, providing ample context about the events that lead up to the story without giving away any of the shocks that follow. As COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc on the world, I'm happy to fall into the comfort of a good book like Safe by S.K. Barnett. ... show more
