YAOrca Soundings series.
In alternating chapters, sixteen-year-old Amy and her boyfriend, Eric, tell the story of Amy's abduction. While Amy completes a strange task for her kidnapper--to write short essays on each of the deadly sins--and attempts to escape, Eric searches for Amy and the perpetrators. This story about survival and redemption has an intriguing plot but a dissatisfying resolution.
