So I read the synopsis and I’m like all in ! Then I start the first chapter and already with the first sentence I’m drawn in … “ …. she couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling they were being watched.” How do I resist this !? I don’t ! 😂📕😉❣️ I dive right in !
What do you expect from a sole survivor!? We had a traumatic experience and one of the ladies involved also went mute and she actually went hoarse from the shock and I think this is what happened here Angie was in shock but when anger kicks in your fighting spirit is determined not be a victim over and over again and lucky for Angie she people on her side fight with and for her !
This is really one to shout from rooftops . Thrills , chills and twists and turns ! Just warn your family and loved ones that they’ll be sending for themselves because once you start you can’t put it down 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I was not disappointed my nerves were shattered and my nails chewed to the bit 😳 would I recommend this !? Oh yes !!!!

This book lays out a tragic experience for a young girl which is part of a much larger, and mind blowing, ring of illegal activity. While the story is definitely far from an average experience, it gets the mind reeling for a fan of crime stories and books. The author does a great job with character development, even for the secondary characters, which leaves the reader further invested in the book. It was a slow read for me initially, not due to the storyline so much as life being busy, but as I read further along, I found myself making time to finish the book. I would have liked a few additional twists, but overall this was a good read and worth my time.

Could. Not. Put. This. Down. The first page drew me in quickly and did not let me go until the last. Angie went through something horrific that left her traumatized and trapped in her mind. Only she can crack the case, but she has to break through her trauma first. FBI Agent Brenda is determined to do everything she can to help Angie and solve this case. She enlists the help of Jake and his dog, Cody, who she thinks may be just what they need.
This story was suspenseful from start to finish! It is painted so rivetingly that I felt I was there, experiencing everything with the characters. My emotions went on a ride between hold your breath and hold the tissues! I love that you get to experience the story in the eyes of different characters, where you really get to connect with each one as the story progresses. Read this book, you will NOT be disappointed!

While on spring break, Angie and her three friends get kidnapped. Angie manages to escape but her friends are killed. She ends up in a psych ward framed for their murders. It’s a good plot but the book is a bit lacklustre. The story needed more depth. Everything is very surface. It’s a thriller but I never once felt an ounce of fear even when Angie was fighting off her attacker. Seeing as this happened at the beginning of the book, it should have gripped my attention but didn’t. I struggled to get into it. Once Jake and Cody entered the story, I found the book more interesting. I loved those two characters and they are what kept me reading.
The police didn’t even look at the evidence which clearly pointed to Angie being innocent. It didn’t make sense. There are multiple points of view which is fine but I found it made this story a bit all over the place. There was Angie, Jake, the killer, his boss (some prince), and a random slave on the boss’s island. It was a bit random. The author had some good ideas which could have been incredible had it been executed properly. It’s an interesting story if you want to pass the time but definitely not a gripping thriller.

3.3/5 stars This was my first read by this author and I had higher hopes for this book. The description is written so well, but I feel like the book could’ve been better. There are parts that had me racing to see what was next, but there are also parts that didn’t fit in the book to me. I wish the ending was better with more excitement. The beginning of the book reminded me of a lifetime movie but then it just started going all sorts of directions.

Angie Taylor and her friends are abducted during a Spring Break trip to Florida. Escaping the kidnapper, she runs into a police officer while holding a bloody screwdriver she used to stab her abductor. The police find her friends in the SUV they rented, all stabbed with a screwdriver, and find no trace of the kidnapper, believing Angie murdered them and is delusional about having been abducted. Following further trauma while being held in jail, Angie goes silent and is transferred to a secure psychiatric facility. While everyone waits to see if Angie can find her voice again, police convince themselves it’s an open and shut case, and her doctor and nurse continue attempts to help Angie speak again. When the FBI sends a special agent, Brenda Reynolds, to dig deeper into the story and seek out the potential kidnapper, she enlists the help of a canine handler who may hold the key to getting Angie to speak again. This is a fast-paced, action/mystery story with some twists and turns, sensitive content regarding sexual assault and sex trafficking, and an original story line. I appreciated the fact-checking section at the end that described what’s real and what’s fiction, providing some insight to some of the information given and proving the book to be educational as well as entertaining.

This book was an action-packed thriller that I could not put down! The main character, Angie, and her friends had hopes of enjoying spring break. Drugged by a bartender and then kidnapped at gunpoint, Angie only has one goal – survival. Angie eventually escapes, but the trauma will remain forever. While spending some time in a mental hospital, she meets great people and together they form a bond with hopes of achieving justice for Angie’s friends. I highly recommend starting this book on a day when you don’t have much to do because you will want to read it from start to finish. The twists and turns just keep you coming back for more!

Whoever thought that one day we are with friends and the next we see our friends die. Would anyone believe her or is she really going crazy? Will the killer find her or will the cops arrest him? The suspension of the killer’s mind and hers are driving me crazy.
What a crazy turn in this story. From seeing her friends being murdered to people not believing her. Wondering how the author Mark Nolan thought when he did the story? I can’t put my fingers if this girl is insane or 2 different personalities.

The Girl Who Escaped by Mark Nolan was a riveting, action-packed novel that takes off from the very first page!
Angie is a normal college student on Spring Break in South Florida with her three friends. They are enjoying a night out when things go horribly wrong when a man abducts the four of them. Angie is the only one who escapes. Thinking she is safe when she literally crosses paths with a policeman, she finds herself going from being a victim to a suspect. This was only the beginning of a story full of twists and turns. Nothing is what it seems! There are so many layers to uncover within the 318 or so pages.
The book was told from the point of view of different characters, even one of the baddest characters gives the book a voice…which I thought was fantastic. His chapters give insight into what the detectives and FBI agents haven’t discovered yet and what actually motivates him to do the evil things he does.
If the plot didn’t have me hooked, Cody, the IED-sniffing war dog, sure did! He was a great character, along with his owner, Jake. These two characters have their own books, The Jake Wolfe Series. Angie and Brenda were strong female leads as well!
Mark Nolan is a new writer to me, and I am looking forward to reading more books he has written and getting to know Jake and Cody better.

What a Story! I loved the characters as well as the storyline. It almost a ripped from the headlines piece. I was shocked, surprised and even laughed or smirked while reading. It is a fast paced story that easily kept my interest.
The characters in here are smart and witty. It was wonderful watching the FBI agent grow and change while the story moved along. I enjoyed her rigid by the book attitude but it was nice to see her loosen up mow and then. Angie’s ordeal..just Wow! I was pleased to see her become stronger as the story progressed. This does have a few secret guests that bring witty banter and eye rolling to the forefront. I liked that the author did not put these two to the front but rather treated them like secondary characters. They did not steal the show but helped enhance the other characters.
Overall this is an eye opener about abductions. The title says it all! I highly recommend this author and this book. It kept me on my toes and gave a look inside the minds of the victim, the police and the kidnapper.

Well the author dove right into this one! Angie and her friends are kidnapped, Angie fights their kidnapper, runs away, and is arrested for the murder of her three friends all in the first chapter!!! Jake, Cody, and Brenda help Angie to overcome her trauma and assist the FBI in finding the man that tried to kidnap her. You will not want to put this one down. Like seriously, you’ll keep turning the page and before you know it, you’re at the end! 5 stars!!!!

Riveting, page turning thriller. So much evil and so much good in one book. I couldn’t put this down!
Angie and her friends were kidnapped and held captive when they were on vacation. Angie, the only survivor, is traumatized and not speaking. The police must piece together if she is a victim or a mastermind. I now will also be checking into the “Jake and Cody” series, as well.

Spring break is supposed to be full of fun times, making positive core memories, but not for Angie and her group of three friends. One night during their spring break, evil was lurking. The night ended with the three friends being dead and Angie arrested for murder. The Girl Who Escaped follows Angie’s struggle to find the person who did this to them and with the help of FBI Agent Brenda Reynolds, she just may be able to do it. The Girl Who Escaped is full of twists, turns, and excitement. Angie’s mental trauma and feelings are relatable. Each character was thoughtfully created, and the characters and the events are realistic. There were a couple of areas that may have been discrepancies, if they were not discrepancies then a little more information could have been used to ensure that they were not confused as such, but I still could not put it down and the possible discrepancies did not take away from the greatness of the book. Overall, I highly recommend any mystery/thriller/suspense lover to read The Girl Who Escaped. Some events may be triggers for some survivors, so just be aware when you go to read this book.

This is a book that will hook you into the plot from the first chapter and keep your emotions on edge. Angie is faced with a series of traumas that knock her silent and scared. Brenda is sent to by the FBI to be her victim advocate and requests the assistance of Jake and his K-9 trained companion, Cody. With the help of this trio, Angie is able to break her silence and seek revenge on the man that killed her friends. I loved how the storyline unraveled and all the twists and turns kept me turning the page. While I loved the book, the ending left me wanting more closure for some of the characters.

The Girl Who Escaped is the latest thrilling read from Mark Nolan. This story is a bit of a spin-off from his Jake Wolfe series, but fans of Jake and Cody needn’t worry, these two fan favourites haven’t been put on the sidelines- as both return to play an important part in this new story. You don’t have to have read the Jake Wolfe series in order to appreciate this book- but having said that, if you did happen to read the series first, then it would definitely give you an even greater appreciation of this story. FBI Special Agent Brenda Reynolds is called in to investigate after the only survivor of a murder spree is left in a somewhat catatonic state, due to the trauma of the attack. She hasn’t spoken since the police arrived on the scene, and at present is the leading suspect in their investigation. Angie has been locked up in a psychiatric institution since her breakdown, and all efforts to communicate with her have failed. What can Brenda bring to the table to help get Angie talking again? It is crucial to the investigation to find out what happened on that dark and lonely road the night of the attack, so Brenda is willing to do whatever it takes to find out what happened, and hunt down the killer before more girls become victims. If that means bringing Jake and Cody on board, then she’s willing to work with them, even though they have a bit of a difficult past. With murder, kidnapped girls, obsession, danger, a game of cat and mouse, and plenty of twists- definitely made this an exciting read. I can’t wait to see what Mr. Nolan does next! Happy Reading!

I have learnt to expect the unexpected from this author and his books and this one is no exception. I think this book has to be my favourite of them all so far. I was riveted by the story unfolding in front of me, and the way it was developed so perfectly. I kept changing my mind on what I thought had happened, never really able to settle on an answer leaving me open to be surprised as the story developed. I thought the book was so well written. The characters were brilliant. I bought into them just as much as the story itself. The whole book had me gripped and I read it all in one sitting. This is another example of why I enjoy this author so much and I urge everyone to add this to their TBR piles straight away!

Police think that she killed her friends and then had a mental breakdown. In comes, FBI Special Agent Brenda Reynolds. This case is bigger than just Angie and her friends, and will make your blood run cold. I liked that the main characters brought something different to the overall story. And of course, the addition of a dog makes it even better!

The Girl Who Escaped By Mark Nolan 4 out of 5 stars
One month ago, four college girls were abducted. Three were brutally murdered. One girl escaped. Angie Taylor was traumatized and shocked speechless. The police think she killed her friends, and then had a mental breakdown. Her psychiatrist believes she has an emotionally unstable personality disorder. Can she ever speak up and describe the killer’s face to a police sketch artist? Is the murderer stalking her right now, eager to finish what he started? Everyone in the city is on edge, fearing the worst, not sure what to believe. A visit from a determined FBI agent shakes things up and raises the stakes. FBI Special Agent Brenda Reynolds of the VSRT must investigate whether the mysterious silent girl is a victim, a killer, or has gone insane.
**** When I read a Suspense or Thriller novel my expectations are always high. I’m preparing to be immersed, challenged and baffled by the twists I didn’t see coming.
Author Mark Nolan knows how to deliver that experience. With an incredible can’t-put-down plot, well-developed characters, and a rollercoaster of a ride you will be flipping pages quick trying to get to the next chapter.
I highly recommend this book and will be reading other Mark Nolan books in the future.

Clear your schedule for the day when you plan to start reading this one! You won’t be able to put it down!
Angie and a group of her friends are wanting to enjoy their last night of spring break. They go out to all the places where all the people are but Angie has this nagging feeling. Something’s not right. A hot waiter passes by them handing out jello shots and her friends are all hands on grabbing those shots. Angie passes as she’s the designated driver for the night. Before she knows it, she sees the waiter again, only this time in the back of her SUV with his gun pointed at the head of one of her friends. Angie is ordered to drive down a path that has only one end. A dead one…..
Angie escapes physically but the scars will remain forever. While spending some time in a mental hospital, she meets great people like Evelyn, Brenda, Jake, and Cody. Together, they form a bond that will help to bring justice to those that caused great harm to Angie and her friends.
Wow, this book has several twists and turns! It kept me on the edge of my seat and I wasn’t able to put this book down until I finished it from the very beginning. I love the author’s notes at the end of this book too, going over some safety tips while discussing how some of the scenarios came about for this book. I highly recommend this one and it’s definitely in my top 3 for book of the year for 2022!!

I love a book with an awesome dog that does not die during the book! I enjoyed the dynamic between Cody and Jake and all the good they do in the story. The world needs more characters like that. If you enjoy books with mystery, crime-fighting, and a strong female lead you will like this book. I thought the writing, in the beginning, was a little awkward and some of the aspects of the island situation were a little farfetched, but it was definitely original and interesting to consider. I did appreciate the ending.

This book had my mind running from the beginning. I was not able to put it down until I was finished with the marathon. And what a run it was! I feel exhausted but relieved. The author does a great job capturing your attention from beginning to end. I also love that the author details at the end of the book what parts of the story are true and what parts are not. The detail is what makes this novel so intriguing, but the fact that the author did their research to help bring the book to life makes it that much better.
Everyone has a mindset of “that can’t happen to me”, until it does happen to them. The events in this book need to remind everyone that it CAN happen to you and teach you to be more vigilant during our every day activities; whether it is driving home from work or going to a crowded beach party. I most definitely recommend this novel to any crime/mystery readers. This one will not disappoint!

I enjoyed this suspenseful story. This is not my first story by this author but it is one of my favorites yet. This is a well written story that has twists and turns that are not only edge sitting but also made the story hard to put down. I enjoyed how the author used details to make the story realistic and engaging. The characters pull you into the story from the start. They are connectable, strong and supportive of each other. This is a story about four girls where three are murdered and one escaped. The question now is, is she a victim or killer? This is a story you don’t want to miss. There is great plot growth throughout. I really enjoyed reading this story and I highly recommend it.

I love the research that went into the writing of this book. This helped bring the characters alive and the events plausible to real life. Some chapters are written from a different character view point, or continues the same viewpoint. This gives refreshing insight into what propels the story forward. I liked the idea of the therapy dog helping the main character through her trauma and the FBI having a victim’s unit. The apple airtags was something my daughter told me about when she bought some to use. Thank you to the author for adding a section to let the reader know what was fiction and what was fact. There is plenty of suspense to keep the pages turning. I enjoyed the book and will go back and read others in the series!
