Hi everyone! I have the pleasure of welcoming author Amanda Strong to the blog today. I had the very special privilege of meeting her in person at the LDStorymakers conference a few years ago. She was such a sweet, beautiful person and her books are truly amazing. I read Hidden Monster in a few days and couldn’t put it down. So, here’s a little more about Amanda…

HIDDEN MONSTER

For seventeen-year-old Samantha Campbell, running back woods trails usually means freedom from her less-than-perfect life. That is, until the day a morning run turns into a living nightmare. When Samantha wakes up to find herself bound to a dirty, pinstriped mattress, she realizes she’s anything but free. With a masked abductor repeatedly injecting her arm with an unknown substance while holding her captive, Samantha tries in vain to find out what he wants, but he refuses to speak. Until the day he breaks his silence and his twisted words are worse than what she’d imagined. He promises her one day she will fall in love with him but the best part will be that she won’t know who he is… until it’s too late.
