Hellish ordeal?

I have to say Elizabeth Wakefield is a lucky girl. While other kidnap victims are tortured and mutilated, see I Know Who Killed Me, Elizabeth's abductor just wants to fondle her hair and feed her pancakes! Liz has been kidnapped because Jessica would rather go to a party then care about her sister (again!) Max Dellon is accused of having something to do with this heinous crime by the mind-bogglingly incompetent SVPD. It's never explained why they would think Liz would run away or why they gave up so fast looking for her. Oh, wait...it's because they give law a bad name! This is a classic SVH book, meaning the plot is ridiculous, Jessica is sociopathic, and the sun is shining in Sweet Valley, California.

The first REAL SVH Thiller

A classic storyline with the most memorable characters involved. SVH #13, "Kidnapped!" has composed within it substance, thrills, and drama--all of the key elements necessary to make this into one of the most desired and most-renowned SVH book in the series! Of course the abduction occurs in the previous book, SVH #12, "When Love Dies," Elizabeth Wakefield encounters a terrifying reality when Carl, an orderly from the hospital, whom she is bearly acquanted with, holds her prisoner in his isolated shack. The drama unfolds as Elizabeth tries to understand from this man why she has been taken and what his purpose with her really is: what does he want from her? What is he planning on doing to her once he gets what he wants? Elizabeth is filled with anger, pity, but most of all fear. In talking with Carl, it's understood that he has no intention of letting her go and that it is up to her to find a way to get away from him before it is too late. The setup of the book was amazing. The "chapter shift" from Elizabeth to Jessica was a great buildup and added great suspense for the reader. A truly novel concept, one that allows the reader to follow along with the storyline and hang in there for the climax of the story. A couple of noted flaws to point out: 1.) Of course it is ridiculous to believe that the police would automatically give up their initial search of a minor so easily as after a day or two. Elizabeth running away? Come on! It doesn't fit her character, and any detective, who did victimology on the victim, in this case, "sensitive, down-to-earth" Elizabeth Wakefield would never fit the profile of a classic runaway. 2.) Having the people closest to Elizabeth find her in her third day of captivity? Wow. We need detectives like that were I live. Other than that, a true classic that any SV fan would appreciate. 5 stars regardless of criticism.

Great...

I lost this book a long time ago but I'll try to write a good review. This book was great. Elizabeth gets kidnapped!!! Eliazbeth is volunterring at the hopsital when she meets a man. A man that becomes upseesed with her. Not even knowing her a day he's in love with her. It was very good and exciting. I would recomnd this to all Sweet Valley fans.
