Review: The Box - Dan Malakin
As a voracious reader, I often get books from Netgalley which means that they have no covers on my Kindle and when I click on them, I am going in blind as I can't recall why I requested the books some of the time in the first place. This one was one of those, that ended up a thrilling ride. We first meet the Truman family with Ed, his wife, and his teen kids. Ed is a lawyer and is in the process of bringing down a website, this has made his family a target of an incel group called Men Together. When his daughter disappears, his wife tells him to drop the suit, the thing though that the last thing Ally said to her dad Ed was for him to promise not to drop the suit. Ed and his daughter are close, but his son is not so much. When Ally doesn't come home, Ed is convinced something bad has happened to her whereas his wife is not too fussed, she is also trying to convince Ed to drop the suit. I have to admit, I hated his wife during this book. Ed, on the other hand, we can see is a dad who cares for his daughter and will do anything to get her back. So when he meets Phoenix, a young girl who knows his daughter - the pair of them will go on the run to save Ally and in the process bring down some bad guys as Phoenix has the evidence they need and the bad guys are currently holding Ally hostage. I enjoyed this thriller as the author had written a strong father/daughter relationship between Ed and Ally, he even became a surrogate father when he was on the run with Phoenix as you could see he genuinely cared. Can Ed save his daughter before it's too late and he and Phoenix are framed with murder and an onslaught of other charges? Find out in Dan Malakin's thriller "The Box". The Box also contains a trigger warning as Conversion therapy and extreme ways including torture are talked about graphically in the book.
