Willow by Ronie Kendig brings fans more Metcalfe action and suspense. The story focuses on Willow, who is working overseas as an aftercare specialist for people who are rescued from human trafficking. But she gets kidnapped by traffickers. Chiji Okorie (remember him from the Tox Files?) is undercover posing as a trafficker to stop the ring. But his new mission becomes protecting Willow from unspeakable horrors of being trafficked.
This story is intense. Any readers with sensitivity to this subject may want to steer clear. Ronie doesn’t sugar-coat the horrors of human trafficking, and some scenes are definitely uncomfortable to read. But the story is laced with hope, and Willow’s brothers step in to help find her, including the long-lost Range. There’s even a bit of romance in the midst of tragic circumstances. I always enjoy Ronie’s non-stop action, and her writing always pulls readers in for an exciting adventure. I’m looking forward to Range’s story next!
