The Lucky One by Jessica Payne

2.0

I'm trying to process this.
Norah and her friend August are abducted by a serial killer after they leave prom. August is murdered. But Norah escapes with the promise that she'll come back for the killer.
She leaves her Kansas City town after being unable to escape all the reminders of Augusts murder (including Augusts twin sister Janie) and the fear that he's out there waiting for her.
She comes back to bury her estranged father (and also help Janie get ready for her wedding) and the killer comes back as well.
A few questions here. Are serial killers so easily swayed? I have heard of people relating to their abductors, gaining their trust, and being let go. But, Norah didn't sound like she was doing a persuasive job.
How could she not recognize his voice? How could August not recognize it the night they were abducted?
People were being snatched, the police officer assigned to the case (the same one from a decade prior) didn't seem too concerned...
It's an OK read. I wasn't racing through the pages. But, it held my attention.
