This is a page turner--be prepared to not want to stop reading it until the very end--but there is a heck of a cliff hanger and I went ahead and ordered the second in this series--it was that good!
Sonia witnessed her Mom get beat mercilessly by her Syrian father who was --well a terrorist! They escaped and made it to America--Sonia was recaptured and was raised in her father's house. She knew she would escape when she turned 18-and she did. She is now an MD and was a major in the US Army. She hates her father but loves the country where she was born and really wants to help the civilians caught in the middle.
She is asked to go to Syria to help construct medical facilities--which she does. Her father has never stopped trying to get her back and somehow finds out that she is back there.
You will read about some of the things that the people endured---horrendous.
They build a medical facility and then Sonia is somehow abducted by her father--her Mom had been abducted from the US at the same time.
Your heart will go out to the civilians who have to endure hardships and fear every day of their lives.
I don't want to say any more or I might give away the whole plot! But this book is definitely for those who like horror and terror-with a bit of romance thrown in for good measure. You will feel like you are right there with Sonia as she lives through this nightmare.

In the modern, time anti-aging cosmetology has reached the results which seemed to be unbelievable not a long time before. There are plenty of anti-aging methods such as injection of botox, hyaluronic acid, cosmetic threads, and so on.
But anti-aging is not only about treatment of the appearance signs of aging such as wrinkles, flabby and dry skin, etc.growth hormone pen It is about the whole body rejuvenation and it even affects how we feel. Such things should be treated from the inside in the Anti-Aging Clinics.
