What Doesn't Kill Her: Reeve LeClaire Series Series, Book 2
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Reeve LeClaire is a college student, dammit, not Daryl Wayne Flint's victim. Not anymore-not when Reeve is finally recovering a life of her own after four years of captivity.
Flint is safely locked up in Olshaker Psychiatric Hospital, where he belongs. He is walking the grounds of the forensic unit, performing his strange but apparently harmless rituals. It seems that he is still suffering the effects of the head injury he suffered in the car crash that freed Reeve seven years ago. Post-concussive syndrome, they call it.
For all that Flint seems like a model patient, he has long been planning his next move. When the moment arrives, he gets clean away from the hospital before the alarm even sounds. And Reeve is shocked out of her new life by her worst nightmare: Her kidnapper has escaped. Less than 24 hours later, Flint kills someone from his past—and Reeve's blocked memories jolt back into consciousness. As much as she would like to forget him, she knows this criminal better than anyone else. When Flint evades capture, baffling authorities and leaving a bloody trail from the psychiatric lock-up to the forests of Washington state, Reeve suddenly realizes that she is the only one who can stop him.
Reeve is an irresistibly brave and believable heroine in Carla Norton's heart-stopping new thriller, What Doesn't Kill Her, about a young woman who learns to fight back.

In Thriller Award–finalist Norton’s riveting sequel to 2013’s The Edge of Normal, U.C. Berkeley student Reeve LeClaire, who was kidnapped and held captive in Seattle for four years as a teen, is yanked back into her past after her abductor, Daryl Wayne Flint, escapes from the Washington State psychiatric hospital where he’s serving his sentence. Believing she knows Daryl better than any of the authorities and feeling responsible for finding Daryl before he can hurt anyone else, she returns to Seattle, despite her family’s adamant advice not to put herself in jeopardy once again. To apprehend Daryl, she reconnects with retired FBI special agent Milo Bender, whom she fondly remembers from the time he was assigned to stay with her during Daryl’s trial. Meanwhile, Daryl, who has been obsessed with Reeve throughout his hospital stay, sets off on a rampage of murder and kidnapping, until events reach their climax in an exciting and suspenseful conclusion. Agent: Liza Dawson, Liza Dawson Associates.

A kidnapping victim must use her insight into her former captor to catch him after he escapes from a psychiatric hospital. Reeve LeClaire, nee Regina, earned herself the nickname Edgy Reggie for her harsh look at the trial of her kidnapper, Daryl Wayne Flint. Four years of captivity and abuse took the vulnerability out of Reeve and made her strong enough to watch as Flint was sentenced to Olshaker Psychiatric Hospital rather than prison. Years later, Reeve has worked through some of her bottled-up feelings by helping a fellow victim (The Edge of Normal, 2013), and she's moved on to start college in San Francisco. She's concentrated on what's hardest-trusting people-and has even managed to make a few new friends when her world is upended once more by the news that Flint has escaped the psych hospital. Knowing that she has a special connection to Flint, or rather, that he does to her, Reeve is drawn back to Seattle to try to understand what's happened. The FBI doesn't want her help, but when Flint kills just 24 hours after his escape, they have no choice but to see how important her knowledge is. Reeve, already wary of trusting others, has no interest in working with the feds, but her value to the case emboldens her to ask for Agent Milo Bender to help with her investigation. Reeve knows Bender as a kind face from her childhood rescue days, and though early retirement has put him out of commission, this particular case and his loyalty to Reeve make him willing to step up. Going on pure intuition, the two try to match Flint's motivation to a greater plan and figure him out before he can get to them. In spite of allowing the second entry in the series to tap into emotional back stories that might better have been saved for later, Norton writes smart characters and cleverly leaves herself room for a sequel.COPYRIGHT(2015) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Starred review from May 1, 2015
Former kidnap victim Reeve LeClaire puts herself at risk again in this high-octane sequel to Norton's blockbuster fiction debut, The Edge of Normal (2013). When her kidnapper, psychopathic Daryl Wayne Flint, escapes from his Seattle-area mental institution, Reeve correctly senses where he will go first. As Flint carries out escape plans A, B, and C, formulated by his late coconspirator in crime, Walter Wertz, Reeve gets involved both for the sake of Flint's future victims and for herself, so that her four years of captivity and abuse will count for something. Now a student at UC Berkeley, she returns to Seattle and tracks down intuitive Miles Bender, the retired FBI agent who was so empathetic after her ordeal. Together they ignore FBI naysayers as they go after Flint, who's committing murders along his way as he tries to recapture Reeve, whose skin he loves. Norton ups the emotional ante by including Bender's family, notably his son JD, who instructs Reeve in self-protection tactics and offers hints of something more. But what Norton does best is to skillfully ratchet up suspense to a breathtaking climax, with a moving coda from the past. A nonstop thriller.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)

Reeve is a survivor, not a victim. In the past seven years she has changed her name from Reggie, moved to another state, enrolled in college, and left her past behind. It's a personal history that included being kidnapped at age 12 and tortured in Daryl Wayne Flint's basement for four years. She was told Flint's head injury, in the car crash that led to her being rescued, has rendered him harmless. But now the unthinkable has happened. Flint killed a prison barber, assumed his identity, and walked out of Olshaker Psychiatric Hospital. The FBI has no leads on Flint's whereabouts even after he murders again. The only person who seems to have any insight into Flint is Reeve. Can she stay safely away while her kidnapper is free to destroy more innocent lives? Of course she can't. VERDICT The pages fly by in this thrill-a-minute sequel to The Edge of Normal that keeps readers guessing what will happen next and hoping for Reeve's triumph over Flint. Highly recommended for all fans of manhunt mysteries who love a strong heroine who sometimes breaks but is never completely broken. [See Prepub Alert, 12/8/14.]--Susan Moritz, Silver Spring, MD
