More from Lillian
TRAPPED is my latest suspense novel. And suspenseful, it is! With just the right about of romance to make it even better.
You can’t help but love Nate Goodman—small-town policeman, believer in truth, justice, and Jesus—comes back home to the sleepy town of Mt. Pleasant, Ohio to work because nothing ever happens—until it does.
Angelina Matthews has everything. She’s rich, famous and beautiful until the day she’s kidnapped and trapped in a basement with a madman. Tormented and tortured, she cries out to God.
Help comes in the form of Nate Goodman.
When their paths cross months later, Nate discovers Angelina is still trapped, not in a basement but in the memories she can’t escape. As an ex-Chicago policeman, Nate knows all about being trapped—and getting un-trapped so he reaches out to help. Between the two of them, they have more than their fair share of problems. But that’s what makes the story exciting.
I have a philosophy when it comes to writing. If I find it boring so will the readers! That means I cut out the boring parts and focus on the action. I loved writing this story with all its twists and turns.

My thoughts:
This book is full action, something always happening. We open with an action packed scene that is disturbing.
With that being said I didn’t really love this book. I don’t know if it was the style of writing that just didn’t resonant with me or something else. I do know I noticed a phrase that was repeat at least twice on the same page and then later as well, “if you say so.” It just didn’t seem to fit, I even reread it to see what was going on.
Also, when Nate comes to rescue Ange the immediate talk about God seemed fake to me. Most people wouldn’t just jump right into that when they are working and meeting someone they don’t know. But Nate’s faith was very strong.
I still liked this book it just wasn’t a book I loved. As always, these are my opinions and if the book sounds interesting to you I encourage you to read it and form your own opinion.
Grab you copy at your local bookstore, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, your favorite retailer.

Genesis 5020 
Sounds like a great book.
Looks very interesting. Chicago is close to where I grew up.
Thanks so much for the chance to win! Book looks really good!
This sounds like quite an intense book. I’m not sure I’d handle it very well, but it sounds exciting.
Thank you for taking the time to share your terrific book with us. I enjoyed reading about it.
Looking forward to reading this one!
This book sounds like a really great read.
I don’t like seeing cliches and repetitive phrases in books, either. It makes me think the book wasn’t proofread well.
Love the cover and I love a good suspenseful read.
