goodreads...
Prentiss Puckett is certain of three things:
-Graduation is two weeks away.
-Summer only gets hotter in south Mississippi.
-She’s getting a job with air-conditioning.
She did not expect to be kidnapped walking to work.
And she never expected to become a hero.
Red Dawn meets L O S T in this new action-adventure romance from Amazon
bestselling author Leigh Talbert Moore.
My take...
*I actually rated this book 4.5 stars…but when leaving reviews at sites
such as Goodreads, Amazon, etc…I round it to the next highest star.
**
Anyway, Gallatin and I weren’t really friends. When all was said and done,
we were on opposite sides of the line. We were enemies, and for now, I was his
prisoner.
**
Plucked off the road and sent to stay in a camp against her will, Prentiss
makes it her mission to find out who it is that kidnapped her and get her
friends out alive. Even if it means befriending the enemy.
This was a great book. Although the first part dragged a tinsy, tiny
bit…the 2nd half really picked up and I flew through it until I was finished. I
enjoyed the characters throughout the book and the relationships that formed.
Especially between Prentiss and Gallatin. So when the ending came, I was
rooting for the right thing to happen. And I was very pleased. Very pleased!
And not mention, the romance that showed itself at all the right times...loved
it!
**
Still, just as a secret for me, just for tonight, I allowed myself to drift
to sleep thinking of a harvest moon somewhere in a different world. Somewhere
where it would be okay to let myself relax in his arms. Where it would be okay
to reach up and touch his face, to seal our dance with a kiss.
**
The author takes the reader on a fabulous journey the whole time. You are
not sure who it is that is behind the abduction of half a town or even the why,
but you get so immersed you steadily read on to know what happens next. You
have to know what the heck is going on and why has the rest of the world has
not taken noticed? Or have they? Is this happening everywhere or just small
town Dabb Creek?
If you are looking for a great YA read, this is the book for you. Full of
nail biting suspense, this book is sure to keep your attention. 4.5 Stars!
