I bet I tricked you all reading that "P" book last time. ;) That was just a Book Club Book, so I went back to my "N" book for my Read thru the Alphabet game.
This is one I have had on my Paperwhite for a very long time, probably since when I got my first Kindle. I couldn't wait to load it up with good books without paying $10 each, so someone told me about this website at the time where you could get them for $5 or less. I have no idea now what the name of the website was, but it was great to get me started. This book is not even in print anymore!
Was it good? Worthy of the 4+ stars 83% of the 379 people who reviewed the book? Eh, I'd probably give it 3-4 stars. The writing was a not high quality, but the story was very engaging. Did I feel like I was really stuck on the mountainside in Alaska during a blizzard? No. Was I nervous about how it was going to end or how many more people were actually going to die? Yes. So, read & decide for yourself.
Jenna and Andi Tikaani-Gray are hoping for a fresh start. Though twelve year-old Andi has long struggled with a rare medical disorder, she and her mother have finally received good news from out-of-town specialists. It's news they desperately needed, especially after the recent death of Jenna's husband (Andi's dad) in a car accident. But as they are flying home to Alaska, ready to begin again, the unthinkable happens. The pilot sabotages their small plane and crashes into Sultana, one of the most remote and dangerous mountains in the Land of the Midnight Sun. Even worse, a winter storm is headed their way along with someone who doesn't want to save them, but to kill them. Only one man can keep them alive: Cole Maddox, the mysterious last-minute passenger who joined them on their flight. But trust doesn't come easy to Jenna or Andi and they both sense Cole is hiding something. A relentless tale of survival and suspense unfolds, involving military technology designed by Jenna's late husband that some would do anything to possess. (Picture and some of the description at Amazon, other bits I have no idea ....)
I keep telling myself I should take a break between finishing one book and starting another, but I'm just in a reading mood! Wonder which book I'll pick next?
Keep reading!
