For five years, Boyd McIntyre has kept Kristen and Ryan
McIntyre safe from their father and their family, hiding, moving from place to
place and teaching the kids how to survive on their own in the wilderness in
case the inevitable happens and Boyd is no longer there to keep them safe. But
the time has come as their father and his henchmen have finally found them and
this time Boyd is determined to keep the kids safe no matter what but with
enemies after them, their aunt Ruby is determined to help find the kids and
keep them as safe as possible even as she goes against her crime family as well
as their plans for the kids. With nowhere to turn, Kristen and Ryan have to
stay alive in the wilderness even as they grieve the loss of their protector
while staying ahead of the people bent on capturing them no matter what.
NORTH OF NOWHERE
by Allison Brennan is an action-packed adventure from start to finish as
Kristen and Ryan’s crime boss father finally catches up with them and now with their
protector dead and kids on the run, it’s a race against the clock as the bad
guys known and unknown chase after them and they are determined to capture them
once and for all. Allison Brennan delivers a wild ride from start to finish and
it’s a story I was so caught up in that I lost track of time until I finished
the book at three in the morning. This is one book that can read as a
standalone story and delivers characters that will keep you glued to the pages,
from a crime family that is determined to tie up loose ends, an aunt who got
out of that family and is determined to find the kids and keep them safe and a
cast of secondary characters that will leave you breathless. I love this author’s
books and she is an auto-buy no matter what she writes and NORTH OF NOWHERE
is one adrenaline race against the clock with twists I sure didn’t see coming
until the end of the book.
NORTH OF NOWHERE
is about Kristen and Ryan McIntyre, whose father and his family run a crime
family filled with bad people, corrupt police/politicians, etc. and more in
California. Ryan and Kristen have been on the run for five years, moving
repeatedly, learning to survive and stay safe with their protector, Boyd
McIntyre and the game finally ends as they face their greatest test when their
family finally finds them. These characters had me gripping the kindle in
anticipation as the race to find the kids ramps up halfway through the book and
even more players come aboard the pages. I was thrilled to see that I had no
problem keeping the cast of characters straight to the end of the book. I can
attest this book had me on the edge of my seat till the very end of the book.
There were a few twists and turns that I didn’t see coming and the ending was
satisfying in all ways.
Allison Brennan is a talented storyteller who delivers
a great thriller to lose yourself this summer. If you haven’t read this author
before, then you can start with this one then tries her other books. I can’t
wait to see where she goes next in her writing and what she comes up with story
wise. I highly recommend NORTH OF NOWHERE if you enjoy action packed
books filled with good and bad guys, captivating characters, and a setting that’s
lush and wonderfully described.
