The blurb from the back of the book:
When everything you love is in danger, how long can you keep running to survive?
Life can be brutal
Winter in Idaho. The sky is dark. It is cold enough to crack bones.
Jack knew it
Jack Dahl has nothing left. Except his younger brother, Matty, who he’d die for. Their mother is gone, and their funds are quickly dwindling, Jack needs to make a choice: lose his brother to foster care, or find the drug money that sent his father to prison.
So did I
Ava lives in isolation, a life of silence. For seventeen years her father, a merciless man, has controlled her fate. He has taught her to love no one.
Did I feel the flutter of wings when Jack and I met? Did I sense the coming tornado?
But now Ava wants to break the rules – to let Jack in and open her heart. Then she discovers that Jack and her father are stalking the same money, and suddenly Ava is faced with a terrible choice: remain silent or speak out and help the brothers survive.
Looking back, I think I did . . .
Wow. What a read. This was exhilarating, intense, heartfelt…it was a rollercoaster.
I loved Jack, Matty and Ava. Their characters were all so strong and I got sucked into their lives so quickly.
I loved the details in the book. I felt like I was right there in the story. Brilliant writing.
At times I found it hard to read. There was a few difficult subjects and I thought it was portrayed perfectly.
A mysterious, heart wrenching read.
I gave it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
