What a ride! This book had me in knots from beginning to end! What was going to happen to the girls? Would they get rescued before someone died? What about the bad guys?
The settings were good and easy to "see" as the story went along.
The characters were good, bad and ugly. Tamara's descriptions were excellent.
The only part of this story I don't like isn't a big deal except to me: it's a trilogy! Which means I won't know what happens until the next two books come out! Argh! I've made a promise not to read trilogies until all three books are published. Just sayin'.
I would've still done this review though.
Perilous by Tamara Hart Heiner
What she doesn't plan for is catching a robber red-handed, or being kidnapped. The desperate thief drags her and her friends 2,000 miles across the Canadian border. They escape from his lair, only to find that he has spies and agents watching their path home, waiting to intercept them and take them back.
Then Jaci finds something out about her family. Something which irrevocably connects her to their kidnapper, and makes her question their chances of escape.
Here's the trailer:
And here’s the opening page to the book:
Detective Carl Hamilton shielded his eyes against the blaring blue lights
and flashed his badge at the police officer. The man moved aside. Hamilton
stepped off the paved, two-lane highway just outside of Havre, Montana.
Orange tape blocked off the crime scene, hidden by the darkness of early
morning. He ducked under the tape and pushed his way into the dry
shrubbery.
A sergeant shone a flashlight on his face and asked, “Are you Detective
Hamilton?”
He gave a short nod.
“I’m Shirley White.” Pressing her hand to her nose, she turned her
attention back to the ground.
The stench of rotting flesh was strong. “Ma’m. What have we found?”
“It’s a girl. We think it’s one of the four you’ve been looking for.”
Carl’s stomach knotted. “Cause of death?”
“We’ll have to perform an autopsy, of course, but it appears to be a
gunshot wound. Is it one of them?”
“Where is she?”
“Under the bushes.”
He crouched down and moved the bushes aside, breathing through his mouth.
This never got any easier. The branches parted to reveal a young girl,
features distorted by death but still recognizable. The open eyes stared
blankly up at him. He released the branches and stood up, giving a nod.
“Yes. It’s one of them.”
The case had just gone from a kidnapping to a homicide. And there were
three girls still missing.

ago when I was bored in study hall. We’ve both come a long ways since
then. I now spend my time running around my house chasing three kids and
trying to sneak to the computer when they’re not looking. I have a
wonderful, supportive husband who appreciates the fact that I enjoy
cooking as much as I enjoy writing. Not that I have time for that, either.

lol. if it makes you feel any better, it's not really a trilogy. It's a prequel and a sequel, and then another book. Sabe?
I'm nervous to read this book. I like the suspense premise, but as soon as I read it was partially set in Canada and that the author hadn't been there I was immediately leery. Too many authors who haven't been to Canada use stereotypes and cliches when writing about it and it drives me insane. Taffy, be honest, would the Canadian stuff bug me? (You can email me privately if you want.)
Great review Taffy! Tamara's comment here is funny LOL but I'm often the same about trilogies. Hurry up and write the next book Tamara!
I totally agree about book series. It's fun when I discover them after they've all been written. Usually I'm too impatient though--like The Hunger Games, that killed me!
