Her kidnapper, Glade Wyndham, is also on the run. The only way for Leah to stay alive is to pretend she’s Sheila, the assassin Glade believes her to be. Embroiled in a struggle between the FBI and her captor, Leah finds herself forging an uneasy alliance with a man who could be the most dangerous adversary of all. And there’s absolutely no one she can trust.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Enjoyed this but not as much as expected.“Willing Hostage” isn’t in the same league as Ms Millhiser’s “The Mirror”, though this is no supernatural novel either. This is much more believable. The author’s depiction of her feline character is brilliant.In short, it was worth reading, but only the once
