United StatesFantastic Read!
Wildfire is a crime thriller set in the backwoods of Alaska and I didn’t want to put it down. It’s literally one of those “one more chapter” books, and before you know it, it’s 2 AM. From page one I was hooked and couldn’t wait to see where things went. Ralston had plenty of twists and surprises in store. I never saw them coming, which made the story even better. For such a quick read, the author packed a lot inside these pages. The world building was great, as were the main characters. I was immediately intrigued by Bo. She comes across as a strong, independent woman, which clearly shows throughout the book, but she also has some dark secrets and as they start to seep out, you can see her struggle just a bit. I thought she was a great character, even with her flaws. She wanted to do right by her boy. Did her ways cause more harm than good? You’ll have to decide. Now let’s get to Rainey. This girl was a riot and I feel like Ralson captured her type so well. The conflict between her and Bo was interesting and very intense at times. It’s like Rainey just couldn’t leave things alone. She was very determined, just like Bo, even though both were complete opposites. This book is a great example of how far people are willing to go for something they believe in.
United KingdomNever underestimate a mothers love!
