Release has not been marketed as a sequel, and it works well as a standalone novel if you’re satisfied with an ambiguous backstory. In fact, the precursor to Release, Christopher’s earlier work, Stolen, does detail the characters’ histories. This is not elaborated on in much detail in Release, which creates an ambiguity: Is she a victim of coercive control or abusive dynamics in a cult of one, or is she genuinely one half of a twisted love story?
