Frost Heaves (paperback)

A bit stereotypical in the beginning? Yes. But that was resolved. Gripping once the action really got going? Absolutely so.

Excellent writer! Fascinating story!Favorite author ever! A must read. You'll love this book!!!

I enjoyed this series, and this book was my favorite of the three of them. Jade was an extremely sympathetic character, and her daughter Dez was enjoyable and entertaining. The scenes with Sapphire (the villain) were delightfully creepy. I’m sad to see this series end!

Frost HeavesJade was giving her testimony at the church when her daughter is kidnapped. She has a very hard past, one that her daughter was born from. She is very glad to have her daughter though.The book is very exciting, kept me interested from start to finish. I love books with children in it. They are so cute. Jade is so brave. I have read this book before but it is good enough to read again.I received a complimentary copy of the book from Celebrate Lit. This book review is my own opinion.

My Thoughts on Frost Heaves:Frost Heaves is another knock it out of the park novel by author Alana Terry. I’ve loved every book of hers I’ve read and this is no different.This book sucks you in. You cannot put it down. Your life depends on you continuing to turn the pages of this book until it’s over. Wow.I loved this book. It’s a great suspense read that is also a quick read. The characters are full of personality and I couldn’t help but fall in love with Dez and her very active little m…outh. I mean who wouldn’t fall in love with a kid that cute with that much personality. But I also felt a tiny bit sorry for Jade having to parent her alone. I don’t know if I could do that one justice alone. You’d need back up!Maybe Jade will get back up soon. The book doesn’t quite say but I’ve got my fingers crossed. Officer Ben would be a nice addition to the family.I don’t want to give away too much but I can’t help but talk about the book some because it was a great read. Jade escaped a cult that she was raised in with her life and a wonderful blessing in her daughter. But she lost her parents because of their support in her. Or at least that’s how she sees it.When her past becomes her present can she save what she loves most? Can she overcome her fear and even hatred of law enforcement long enough to let them help her find her baby girl? And maybe could she learn to rely and trust on one officer in particular?Great novel! Loved this suspense book as much as the other books by this author that I’ve read. She knows how to write them to keep you engaged and involved til the last word is spoken or written in this case.I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Celebrate Lit.

A story that will keep you on the edge of your seat, you can’t guess how this story will play out, and when the facts start to play out as to why this is even happening, no not imaginable!From a cult to being saved, Jade, the mother of a precocious five-year-old, is about to give her testimony when the unthinkable happens.The author gives us a story of a fierce mother’s love for her child, but she has taught her well, and we hope for survival.Add in a bit of sweet romance, and the love of a chu…rch community, and we have a page-turner read.I received this book through Celebrate Lit Blogging Tours, and was not required to give a positive review.

Another wonderful, suspenseful mystery by Alana Terry! When Jade gives her testimony at church about being part of and leaving a cult, she doesn't realize that her days under the influence of the cult are far from over. Afterwards, she goes in search of her young daughter and cannot find her, dropping her into every parents worst nightmare of trying to discover what happened to her missing daughter.I was terrified with Jade as she puts aside her distrust of law enforcement to work with a state …trooper to get her daughter back.This is an excellent mystery to pick up!I received this book from Celebrate Lit. This is my honest review and is in no way influenced by receiving a complimentary copy.

There are a good many books dealing with cults of late so let's talk about why I like this one. It's realistic as much as possible. Jade is a Christian, with a daughter, but she was in a cult. When her daughter is threatened, she doesn't react thinking isn't what most people might expect. However, that doesn't mean she isn't reacting, but I felt that it adds up because of the cult background. That kind of brainwashing isn't going to cause rational actions as seen by the rest of the world. So De…z is only five, and she is in danger. When Dez vanishes, well folks, it's on. What lengths will this group go to to get Jade and Dez back? How does she hold onto God's real truth's when she's been raised with twisted thinking?This book is emotional, as it should be anytime a child is missing and could die of exposure or worse, never be seen again in the hands of people who aren't supposed to have that child.I think this was the author's best book in this series. It was dramatic and gripping. I liked the way everything was handled, which was lightly but you still knew what was happening.My copy came from Celebrate Lit. The review is mine, with my thoughts and feelings about this book, left freely.

From the start the tension grips you, builds and squeezes tightly until the end! Frost Heaves is a real page-turner with plenty of surprises and characters you’ll love and some you’ll love to hate! The Alaskan setting provides an increased uniqueness to the unfolding drama. True to her special style, author Alana Terry brings a message of hope and tried-and-true Christian faith to this story. Highly enjoyable, memorable and recommended!Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy of this book…. A favorable review was not required, no compensation was received, and all views expressed are my own.

When Jade experienced abuse growing up in a cult she runs with her daughter to a new life in Alaska. When she is found all starts moving fast as they search for her daughter in freezing temperatures. Action, mystery,  so many lies that when the secrets come out it will surprise you.  I was gifted a copy, no review was required, my review is voluntary...
