I just did a "review swap" with E. B. Sullivan, author of the forthcoming Alaska Awakening (Kindle, October 14). Amazon apparently doesn't allow pre-pub reviews, and Goodreads doesn't have it yet, so I'm posting it here. (She did a lovely review for Fairy Gold.)Lies, deceit, treachery, gratuitous cruelty, courage, selflessness, love and redemption
Disclaimer: I received a free PDF of this book for review.
Three wealthy couples embark on an Alaskan wilderness adventure
that turns out to be more adventurous than they expected. Their guides are
thugs who demand an enormous ransom. Once the money’s paid, everyone will be
released. Or so they claim.
A stressful situation can bring out the best in people, or
the worst. Sullivan takes us by turns into the minds of hostages, captors and the
family members who are expected to pay. Some grow; some are forever trapped in
their own inadequacies. We see their hopes and dreams, their fears and
failings. She teases with glimmers of hope, then snatches them away, leaping
from one tense situation to another in a compelling read that will keep you
guessing all the way through.
Five stars (or maybe I should dock her one star for keeping me awake half the night)
