Mountain Abduction Rescue by Darlene L. Turner is one heart-racing story. Hazel Holt teams up with her childhood crush Mitchell Booth to find her abducted son. They race through the mountains, chasing an illusive arsonist known as Firebug. Only Firebug has targeted Hazel.
This story is intense. Hazel’s son is missing and lost in the wilderness. And Firebug seems one step ahead of Hazel’s attempt to get him back. I thought that Hazel’s father was a bit too intense though. He seemed to have major anger issues – his gruffness was kind of over the top. But I do like second chance stories, and having Hazel’s high school crush be the hero of the story is sweet. Mitchell had to come to terms with the fact that Hazel wasn’t just his kid sister’s friend.
I definitely enjoyed the non-stop danger, and the mountains are full of all kinds of trouble, from animal predators to those of the human-kind. This story packs a lot of action into a short space, and I love stories that race against the clock. If you like missing in the wilderness survival stories, this is one novel you won’t want to miss.
