Book Review of 'Mountain Abduction Rescue' by Darlene L. Turner

Hello Bookworms!

I love Thursdays so much! The anticipation of Friday and the weekend is intoxicating to me, even if I have nothing planned. This weekend looks to be pretty low key, with the exception of getting all of this missing school supplies that each teacher requires once classes start. That is one thing I will not miss about having a school-aged child!

Speaking of a school-aged child, the book that I am reviewed today involves one such adolescent and his courageously brave mother, and a serial arsonist! So, grab your caffeinated beverage of choice and read on to find out why I enjoyed this novel so much, and don't forget to enter the amazing giveaway at the bottom of this post!

My Review

The wildfires this year have been insane in my area of Texas. There was even one that hit my neighborhood a few weeks ago, but luckily they were able to contain it before it hit our street. That fear of wildfires is real right now and made Mountain Abduction Rescue all the more vivid for me. This story seems so plausible that I could easily envision it happening right now in real time.

Jackson’s troop has been abducted, possibly by a serial arsonist, and though Hazel knows that her eight-year-old son is trained to handle the wild her mind can’t help but hold her greatest fears captive. She will do anything to get to her son, as any good mother would, and has the help of her best friends brother (and her old crush) Mitchell to help fight the terrain to find her son. They both share a love of the mountains and Mitchell has a fierce determination to protect Hazel, and find Jackson, at all costs.

Imagine all the emotions that would be whirling through you when your young son is possibly being held captive by a serial arsonist and you’re searching for him with your ex-crush who broke your heart years prior. On top of a crazy man that keeps setting fires that puts the heroes in even greater danger. Talk about drama!

For not being outdoorsy by any means, I sure do love a good suspense that is set in the mountains. I guess I love to live vicariously through the characters, and the more on the edge of my seat I am the better the journey, and Mountain Abduction Rescue knocked it out of the park. My heart went out to Hazel, and Mitchell was such an amazing help and support. I was on the edge of my seat, the action almost nonstop as wave after wave knocks Hazel and Mitchell down.

The Love Inspired Suspense series is always a favorite of mine, and this novel was no exception. I love that I can get lost so quickly in this narrative, the characters are well-developed and written with such heart, and the suspense is truly entertaining. This is a great summer read that is also pretty scary when you think that something like this could actually happen.

My Rating: ★★★★
