Livvy is only seventeen, but she has earned fame as the author of a YA trilogy titled The Caul and the Coven. On her way to a camp for hopeful, would-be novelists, her car runs off the road leaving her hurt and unconscious.
When Livvy regains consciousness, she realizes she is being held prisoner in someone's basement. A woman and her strange daughter took Livvy from her wrecked car and locked her in a sparsely furnished room. The woman insists Livvy should apologize for some transgression. Unfortunately, Livvy has no idea what she is supposed to feel guilty about and the woman refuses to explain further.
After Livvy successfully escapes her captors, she learns things about her life that leave her shocked and not sure how to carry on. Her experience opens her eyes to the fact that her early success is not the only thing that defines her.
THE DETOUR by S. A. Bodeen shamelessly resembles MISERY by Stephen King. Teens are sure to enjoy this thrilling page-turner and look for other S. A. Bodeen books like THE COMPOUND and THE RAFT.
