My review of Deadly Mountain Escape

If you love non-stop excitement and suspense, you’ll love Deadly Mountain Escape by Mary Alford. This book from Love Inspired Suspense will keep you turning the pages; I read it in one sitting!

Deadly Mountain Escape is a book that is sadly all too relevant for today. It deals with the subject of human trafficking, specifically trafficking young women. It also speaks to the fact that anyone could be involved in this horrific “business.” The author does a very good job of portraying this in the book. Through Charlotte’s experience, Alford shows just how easily one could find herself in a dangerous situation.

Charlotte Walker, a K-9 unit deputy, never imagined what she was walking into when she went to look for her neighbor’s granddaughter. Charlotte showed her strength and her dedication to her job when she was willing to risk her life to rescue Lainey. She kept going even when she was cold, exhausted, and in mortal danger. Jonas, formerly Amish, showed the strength of his character when he got involved in the case. He refused to return to the safety of his farm and instead stayed to help Charlotte. Both Charlotte and Jonas suffered great losses, and I found myself in tears while reading about their losses since I also lost a spouse. Finding comfort in God was the only way I got through and the only way these characters can get through their losses too.

I really loved this book! The author describes the setting so well. The characters are trudging through snow, they’re wet, freezing, and tired, and you feel it too! I just kept thinking about how miserable that would be, and I’m not sure I’d be as determined as the characters though I hope I would. It really makes you think about the tragedy of human trafficking because though this is fiction, the subject matter isn’t. I know that God is in control, but we are his hands and feet. It’s up to us to listen to what he’s calling us to do.

I highly recommend Deadly Mountain Escape! The characters, subject matter, and non-stop action make it a must read for romantic suspense lovers!

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
