Living Dead Girl

When Alice was ten, Ray took her from her family and friends—her life. She was known as Kyla before she was kidnapped by Ray during a school trip. Alice is now 15 in the story. There was another ‘Alice’ before Kyla who was abused and killed when she turned 15. Her family was also killed by Ray. Alice knows from the previous newspaper clippings of the other ‘Alice’ that if she ever left Ray her family would meet the same fate. Alice has been abused by Ray physically, sexually, and emotionally for the past 5 years and now that she is the same age as when the other ‘Alice’ was killed she is ready and looking forward to her death. However, it is requested that she find Ray another child to take her place. The gripping conclusion will leave you horrified yet wanting to know what is going to happen next.

"A haunting story of an abducted girl you'll be desperate and helpless to save; her captor so disturbing, so menacing, you'll want to claw the pages from this book and shred them. Brava to Elizabeth Scott for creating such an intense, real, and perfectly painful story of terror, not without hope. Living Dead Girl is impossible to ignore."-- Lisa McMann, New York Times bestselling author of Wake
