Warm-Hearted Adoption Novel Intimate, Insightful, and Discussion Worthy
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
A planner by nature (and profession), Tabitha Basnight is determined to turn her unconventional clan into a real family. She wants her 7-year-old twins to maintain a close bond with their biological siblings, even though the children are spread out between three different households. The families' frequent (but hurried) gatherings aren't enough for Tabitha, who longs for a close sisterhood with her fellow adoptive mothers. To that end, she has organized an activity-filled, two-week stay for the entire crew at a vacation home in Aspen, Colorado. Tabitha just knows the time together will finally cement the bonds between them in the rock solid way she's been dreaming of.
Elizabeth Evans isn't quite as thrilled about her upcoming vacation. After five years of miscarriages and IVF treatments, she and her husband couldn't wait to adopt infant Violet. John is absolutely enthralled with fatherhood, but Elizabeth? Well, she kind of hates it. Weighed down by guilt, exhaustion, and heavy debt from her infertility treatments, Elizabeth is already on edge. How is she supposed to keep it together while in such close proximity to Tabitha, the perfect mother?
Although Ginger Kowalski, an introverted technical writer, never intended to have children, she's delighted with her adoptive daughter. She's less enamored with Tabitha's determination to create one big, happy family. By living in a different city than the other parents, shy, private Ginger is able to keep a little bit of distance. She knows Tabitha doesn't agree with her choice and she's not looking forward to spending two weeks feeling suffocated and pressured by the bossy planner.
When Brianna, the kids' flighty birthmother, calls to let the families know she's pregnant again, it lights a match to a fire already stoked with a dangerous mix of anxiety, resentment, guilt, jealousy, doubt, and feelings of inadequacy. Will the family be able to rise from the ashes of the ensuing inferno? Or will the vacation that was supposed to bond them forever tear them apart for good?
I hadn't heard of Any Other Family by Eleanor Brown before seeing it advertised at a local bookship with a note saying, "Everyone connected with adoption should read this book." I'm an adoptive mom who's always looking for a compelling read, so I picked the book up (from the library, because I'm also cheap). The story immediately sucked me in, not because it's action-packed, edge-of-your-seat kind of stuff, but because the characters are so relatable. I saw different elements of myself in each of the three moms at the center of the book. All three are complex, sympathetic, well-actualized characters. I cared about them, their children, and what was going to happen to their unique family. This is very much a character-based novel, but there's enough tension in the plot to keep things moving along. In fact, I zipped through Any Other Family in a day. It's a warm-hearted read that made me smile, sympathize, and think about adoption as a whole and about my experience with it in particular. The author is an adoptive mom herself, so the novel feels authentic, intimate, and very personal. Whatever your experience with adoption, Any Other Family is an engrossing, insightful book. I enjoyed it.
If you're looking for a book club read that asks discussion-worthy questions, look no further. Any Other Family explores lots of intriguing questions like: What makes a family? What (if anything) do adoptive parents owe to their child's birth family? What kind of adoption is healthiest for a child? How does being adopted affect a child's psyche and well-being? What questions are appropriate/inappropriate to ask an adoptive family? How does the experience of motherhood differ for each mother? No matter your own experience (or inexperience) with adoption, these are probing questions sure to inspire an interesting book club discussion.

MG Dystopian/Survival Story a Taut, Absorbing Read
(Image from author's website)
Maddie Harrison loves her little stepbrothers, but sometimes a girl needs a break. That's why the 12-year-old decides to spend a night away, secretly having a sleepover in her grandparents' condo while they're away. Her friends bail on the idea, but Maddie perseveres—and it's glorious. Until she wakes up and finds that her entire town has been emptied while she sleeps. Everyone she's ever known and loved is gone, leaving their cell phones behind. What could possibly have triggered the exodus? Is she the only one who's been left behind? With no way to contact her parents, how is she ever going to find them? And how will she survive without them?
As the days and weeks pass, it becomes apparent that no one is coming to rescue Maddie. The more she explores, the more she realizes that the emptiness goes beyond just her suburb. It's apparent that, somehow, Maddie will have to find a way to keep herself healthy and safe for the foreseeable future. With only George, her neighbor's abandoned rottweiler, by her side, she has to forage for food and water, figure out how to stay warm during the upcoming winter, and keep them both safe from the threats all around them. With boredom and loneliness weighing heavily on her, Maddie must keep dark thoughts at bay and keep going. But for how long? What really happened to her parents, siblings, and friends? Are they ever coming back? How many more months can Maddie survive all on her own?
Alone, a debut novel by Megan E. Freeman, tells a tense, harrowing story that will appeal to anyone who loves taut survival tales. While its premise—a young girl sleeps blissfully on while a fairly large town is completely evacuated around her—seems awfully far-fetched, the rest of the plot feels disturbingly realistic. Told in verse, it's a fast-moving, absorbing book that I buzzed through in one sitting. It's easy to root for Maddie, who's brave, resourceful, and likable. Kids will find her determination both admirable and empowering. Although the story is scary in places and does get pretty bleak for a middle grade novel, it ends on a hopeful note. Hand this one to reluctant readers, Hatchet fans, and kids who want a soft introduction to dystopian/post-apocalyptic type literature. They'll eat it up, just like I did.

MG Sisters Novel Warm and Hopeful
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
Twelve-year-old Libby Monroe is great at science, being optimistic, and talking to her famous, accomplished friends (okay, maybe that last one is only in her head). She’s not great at playing piano, sitting still, or figuring out how to say the right thing at the right time in real life. Libby was born with Turner Syndrome, and that makes some things hard. But she has lots of people who love her, and that makes her pretty lucky.
When her big sister Nonny tells her she’s pregnant, Libby is thrilled—but worried. Nonny and her husband are in a financial black hole, and Libby knows that babies aren’t always born healthy. So she strikes a deal with the universe: She’ll enter a contest with a project about Cecilia Payne, the first person to discover what stars are made of. If she wins the grand prize and gives all that money to Nonny’s family, then the baby will be perfect. Does she have what it takes to care for the sister that has always cared for her? And what will it take for the universe to notice? (Plot summary from publisher)

Crouch Thriller Explores What Happens When a Town's Mysterious Past Hasn't Really Passed
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
Ghost towns are plentiful in the Southwest, but Abandon—an old gold-mining settlement in Colorado—is unique. Its citizens all disappeared on Christmas Day, 1893, never to be seen or heard from again. What could have caused 123 people to vanish into thin air, leaving food on their tables, belongings in their closets, and money in their purses? Were they swept up to heaven in a great rapture? Kidnapped by aliens? Killed by savage Indians? If they were slaughtered, why have their bones never been found? What happened to the people of Abandon?
The question has plagued people for over 100 years. Explorers have tried to find the ghost town before but none have ever returned. That doesn't stop a new group from wanting to make the trek. Headed by the owners of an adventure company, the party includes two paranormal photographers, a history professor, and his journalist daughter. Although all of them are up for the adventure, it doesn't take long to realize they're all in way over their heads. The past has not exactly passed in mysterious Abandon, Colorado...
For such a simple premise, the one at the heart of Abandon by Blake Crouch is so very, very intriguing. How could I resist? Crouch excels at creating stories that are atmospheric and unsettling and this 2015 novel is no exception. It's creepy as well as violent, bloody, and depressing. It also features characters who are kind of blah and unlikable. And yet, it's a riveting read. I couldn't stop turning pages, which is saying something because Abandon has over 500 of them! While I can't say I loved this disturbing thriller, it did keep me engrossed and entertained. It's far from my favorite Crouch novel, but overall, I liked it.

Psychological Thriller a Surprising, Compulsively Readable Ride
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
The Dead Girl in 2A by Carter Wilson is one of those psychological thrillers where the less you know going into it, the better. So, I'm going to give you the most succinct plot summary I can (which is not my forte as you well know). Here goes:
A freelance writer, Jake Buchannan is flying to Denver to meet with a mysterious client who wants Jake to pen his memoir. When a woman settles into the first-class seat next to him, he gets a shock. He's positive he knows her. Clara Stowe feels the same way about Jake, but the two can find no obvious connections between the two of them. As they get to know each other over the course of the flight, Clara finally admits her real purpose in traveling to Colorado—she's planning to kill herself. Shocked, Jake knows he has to help her. When Clara disappears upon landing, Jake doesn't know what to do. He can't let Clara—someone with whom he feels such a close, inexplicable bond—go through with her plans, but how is he going to stop her? And who is she, really?
Yep, that's all I'm going to give you. It's better this way, I promise! All I can say is that this novel went in a direction that was entirely different than what I expected. In a good way, but it threw me a little. From that simple, but fascinating premise Wilson creates a wild, intriguing thrill ride that kept me on edge and guessing throughout. I ended up very much enjoying this compulsively readable psychological thriller.

Forward Action in Search and Rescue Novel Gets Bogged Down by Details, Details, and More Details
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
When a woman goes missing in the Colorado wilderness, Sheriff Colm McCormac calls on skilled and capable Pru Hathaway to find her. An archaeological law enforcement ranger for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the 42-year-old is also the handler of the only search and rescue dog in the county. If anyone can find the missing hunter, it's Pru and her dog. Despite few clues and worsening weather, Pru is determined to find the woman, no matter what the risk. The more she learns about Amy Raye Latour, a 32-year-old wife and mother, the more determined—even obsessed—Pru becomes with solving the mystery of Amy Raye's disappearance. Can she find the woman before exposure kills her? Or is she already on the hunt for a corpse?
I've mentioned before that I'm a fan of exciting search and rescue stories set in remote places where danger lurks around every corner. That explains why I picked up Breaking Wild by Diane Les Becquets. Did it satisfy my craving for riveting action/adventure reading? Kind of. The novel definitely tells a compelling story. Problem is, the plot gets bogged down by details. Lots and lots and lots of details. If you're looking for adrenaline-fueled action with shocking twists and turns to keep you burning through pages, you're not going to find them here. This is a straight-up survival/ search-and-rescue story, told from the alternating perspectives of the woman doing the surviving and the one doing the searching. As we get to know both, their secrets and backstories are slowly revealed, making the book more character- than plot-driven. Except for Amy Raye, who's kind of hard to take, the cast is likable and interesting. The prose is capable, just way too detailed for me. For all these reasons, I liked Breaking Wild but didn't end up loving it. Looking back, I had the same complaints with The Last Woman in the Forest, so maybe Les Becquets just isn't for me.

Christian Romantic Suspense "Perfect Storm" Just Not For Me
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
Fourteen years ago, the secret relationship between a preacher's daughter and the son of the town drunk was discovered, setting off a conflict that ended with one father killing the other. Although Roy Beckett insisted he was innocent, he was sent to prison for the murder of "Brother" Strickland. A decade and a half later, Roy is pardoned and set free, to the horror of the victim's family.
Brenna Strickland Hertzog is having a hard enough time dealing with a nasty custody battle between her and her powerful ex-husband. The last thing she needs right now is to deal with the shocking release of her father's killer. Brenna's drinking too much as it is—how is she going to cope with this new development in her already stressful life? Then Roy's son, Nate Beckett, shows up on her doorstep for the first time in 14 years, rekindling all the feelings she had for him when they were kids. Their innocent, but clandestine teenage romance led to her father's death; renewing it now could be even more dangerous ...
Forced to take a break from his job as a smokejumper after he sustains second degree burns over 20% of his body, Nate returns home to recover and see his father. Nate has always believed in Roy's guilt, but when his father begs him to find Brother Strickland's true killer, he feels obligated to dig into the murder. A major complication comes in the form of beautiful, broken Brenna who needs him now more than ever. What will Nate's sleuthing uncover? Can Brenna ever forgive, let alone love, the son of her father's alleged murderer?
I have to say upfront that romantic suspense is really not my genre. Add in Christian elements and it often leads to a perfect storm of cheesy, far-fetched, overwritten drama. No, thanks. Still, something about the premise of Smoke Screen by Terri Blackstock made me agree to read and review it. Did it change my mind about this genre? Um, no. While I appreciate that the novel's clean and faith-affirming, its flat characters, dull prose, and melodramatic plotline made me a little crazy. While Brenna's a sympathetic character, she's not a super likable one. I couldn't understand Nate's interest. Their resulting romance, therefore, seems forced and sparkless. As far as the suspense portion, there's not a lot as the plot focuses mainly on Brenna's personal problems. The lackluster mystery at the heart of the story is thin and implausible, especially since the "twists" are obvious from miles away. Overall Smoke Screen is definitely not the worst Christian romantic suspense novel I've ever read, but for me, it was a so-so read at best. To be fair, this is how I feel about most books in this genre. Still, I would have liked for Smoke Screen to change my mind; unfortunately, that just didn't happen. Bummer.

Unnecessarily Gory and Graphic, No Exit Leaves a Lot to Be Desired
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
College student Darby Thorne had no intention of going home for Christmas. Until a diagnosis of late-stage pancreatic cancer changed everything. Now the UC-Boulder art major is racing through a snowstorm to get to her mother's side. As the weather worsens dramatically, she knows she can't risk her own life trying to drive through it. Darby will have to wait it out. She finds refuge at a remote rest stop with electricity, a coffee machine, and four strangers. While she frantically searches for a cell signal so she can at least check in on her mom, Darby makes a shocking discovery in the frigid parking lot—a small child is locked in an animal cage in the back of a van. There's no explanation for it except that one of the people inside the rest stop is a kidnapper. With no safe way off the mountain, no cell phone service, and only a vague idea who the villain might be, it's up to Darby to save the child.
As the snow piles up outside, the stranded art major must think her way out of a desperate situation. Which of the strangers can she trust to help her? If she chooses incorrectly, it could mean danger for a helpless child and for herself. Darby can't leave the captive to freeze to death or worse. What can she possibly do to save them both from a situation that's growing more deadly with each passing minute?
No Exit, a new thriller by Taylor Adams, is getting all kinds of buzz right now. Based on its intriguing premise, I can understand why. I picked it up hoping for a taut psychological thriller—what I got was more thriller thriller. The novel lacks the subtlety of the former, relying more on the kind of propulsive action most associated with the latter. In fact, the story gets so unnecessarily graphic and violent that it feels far-fetched and, really, just kind of ridiculous. Add in a cast of mostly unlikable characters, a "What's the point?" kind of vibe, and a nauseating blood-bath of a story and, in my opinion at least, you've got a stomach-turning thriller without a lot of redeeming qualities. I still think No Exit's premise is chock-full of fascinating potential; its execution, though, leaves a lot to be desired.

Loosey-Goosey Structure Makes New Thriller Not So Thrilling
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
When her fiancé's private plane crashes in the Colorado Rockies, 31-year-old Allison Carpenter is left alone on a remote mountaintop. With little food, no shelter, and no way to communicate with the outside world, she must figure out how to survive. It's not just the elements that are plotting against her—she's harboring an explosive secret that powerful men would kill to keep under wraps.
Maggie Carpenter hasn't seen or talked to her only child in two years. When she receives the news that Allison is presumed dead after a plane crash, the widow is filled with sorrow and remorse. Also a niggling hope. Allison's remains have not been recovered. Although everyone urges her to accept the fact that her daughter is dead, Maggie refuses to give up. After finding some disturbing information about the life Allison's been leading in the years since Maggie saw her, Maggie starts digging into her daughter's secret past. What she discovers convinces Maggie that her daughter's "death" was no accident.
In a desperate race to save themselves and each other, both women will have to use all their strength and tenacity to get to the bottom of a disturbing conspiracy that its perpetrators will do anything to keep quiet.
Told from dual perspectives, Freefall by Jessica Barry (available January 8, 2019) is an adrenaline-fueled page turner that kept me riveted despite the novel's loosey-goosey construction. The plot gets cliché and melodramatic while not making a lot of logical sense. I saw its big twists coming from too far away. Allison is difficult to relate to—her cash-centric decisions make little sense and leave her looking like a greedy, self-centered gold digger. Although I did want to know how this novel ended, overall it didn't feel like a very satisfying read. I wanted a tighter, more sensical plot; better developed characters; and some surprising twists to keep the story fresh. Maybe next time.

Gritty Revenge Novel Affecting, But Not Exactly Enjoyable
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
Ever since their junkie mom took off, 19-year-old Sadie Hunter has looked after her 13-year-old sister, Mattie. Their existence is a tough one, but with the help of May Beth Foster, their landlord and pseudo grandmother, the girls manage to get along okay. Until Mattie is discovered dead from a blunt force trauma wound to the head. Overcome with grief and anger, Sadie's fury builds to a raging inferno as the police fail to solve her sister's murder. Armed with only a switchblade and a few meager clues, Sadie finally sneaks off, determined to find Mattie's killer on her own—and make him pay.
When 68-year-old May Beth discovers that Sadie is missing, she grows frantic. Her heart can't take the thought of another missing girl, especially one under her care. Desperate, she begs radio personality Wes McCrae for help. Sensing a juicy story, Wes creates a podcast to tell Sadie's story and to enlist his listeners in the search for the missing young woman. The more deeply involved he becomes, the more he worries for obsessive, reckless Sadie.
In the meantime, Sadie's courting trouble by asking jeopardous questions of dangerous people. Can Wes and Mary Beth stop her perilous quest before it's too late? Or will Sadie's obsession with revenge lead to her own violent end?
For a YA novel, Sadie by Courtney Summers is decidedly dark, disturbing, and depressing. It tells a gritty, unsettling story that I certainly would not want my teens reading. That being said, it's a compelling book that tackles hefty issues (poverty, drug abuse, child abandonment, etc.) through the eyes of some very interesting characters. Summers writes well, there's no doubt about that, but I had a hard time really enjoying Sadie. It's a little too raw for my tastes and the ending, while satisfying on some levels, bugged on others. Overall, then, I didn't love this one or even like it all that much. I know I'm in the minority here because the novel is definitely affecting, it just wasn't my favorite.
