1. Kelly Kidnapped: A Young Adult Horror Story
Kelly’s life is just hell. She’s smart, sweet, and tries her best, but that doesn’t make a difference. Her brother is too busy to listen to her any longer. Her mom is always drunk. Her dad is always gone. Why does life have to be…life? Things are about to get worse, though, because someone knows about her secret hideaway where she plays her music and gets lost in the melody, and that someone has decided to take her!
2. Kelly’s Captor: A Young Adult Horror Story
Kelly wakes to find herself in the home of a boy from school. It doesn’t make any sense. He doesn’t seem like a pervert or a crazy. In fact, he makes an incredible meal for her, and when he holds her, she feels something she hasn’t felt for as long as she could remember…she feels safe. All of it ends, though, when her brother arrives to rescue her, but how can being taken from the arms of Kale and returned to the called home be a rescue?
3. Kelly’s Cuts: A Young Adult Horror Story
Kelly recovers from her brutal beating, but she hasn’t yet recovered from herself. The nightly cutting continues, and she feels her whole word turning upside down. On an impulse, she decides to try to make a friend, but instead someone befriends her, and she finds herself hanging out with the “wrong kind” of kids at the skatepark. Why is her life so screwed up? She still hasn’t seen the kidnapper who captivates her so much, and the razor in her dresser drawer is so, so inviting.
4. Kelly’s Confusion: A Young Adult Horror Story
Kelly doesn’t know what to do. Everything is spiraling out of control. Why is everything so confusing. Why does she have feelings for the boy who kidnapped her? Why does her mother get drunk every night? Why is it that there are only small snatches of time when she feels any sense of piece, sense of control, and sense of worth? And why does each of those snatches of time involve running her razor over her skin and drawing blood?
5. Kelly’s Conclusions: A Young Adult Horror Story
Why is everything crashing down around Kelly? She just wants a normal life, some small bit of peace and happiness. She wants to be able to find peace without having to cut it out of her arms and legs with her straight razor, the only thing that feels stable. Things come to a head, though, because Kelly isn’t the only one in her family with a problem. How can she hope to deal with Carson’s issues when she can’t even deal with her own? This bittersweet conclusion to the Kelly’s Freedom series will leave you breathless.
