When a woman is snatched by an obsessed stranger claiming to be her soulmate, the consequences could be deadly in this suspenseful and darkly twisted psychological thriller … unless she can remember his name


My Thoughts

In this modern day take on  Rumpelstiltskin ( “If you can guess my name in three days,” he says, “you may keep your baby,) Erin Ruddy tells the harrowing tale of a woman kidnapped by her new neighbor.

While the kids are at summer camp, Ellie and Neil Patterson are spending some much needed time together at their new cottage. After ten years of marriage, they had hit a rough patch and this was the perfect chance to get things back on track. 

Just as they are getting comfortable Ellie is attacked and kidnapped. The kidnapper swears that he and Ellie are soulmates. Once he has Ellie secured, he gets Neil, too. Once they are both tied and helpless he tells Ellie they are going to play a game. All Ellie has to do is to tell him his name. Ellie has three chances to answer correctly before Neil dies. 

There's just one problem. Ellie has no idea who this lunatic is. What follows is insanity!

Fair warning here, there is graphic violence. Tell Me My Name is not for the faint of heart!

Thanks to NetGalley and Dundurn Press for an advance reader's copy for review.
