The Runaway by Linda Huber
4.0
What should be a fresh start in a wonderful area, turns out to be Nicola’s worst nightmare. As a mother, it is so hard juggling work and home life so I had every empathy for her. The move was supposed to mean more time with her daughter and a safer environment away from the big city.
It’s hard to say to much about the story as not a lot is given away in the blurb. The story is one of drama/suspense but definitely has a psychological feel to it. The chapters alternate between a couple of the characters so we get to better understand them and discover what secrets have been hidden.
I loved Kelly’s character, she is a typical teen and she did make my eyes roll at the beginning but that didn’t last long as I had so much sympathy for this young adult. Being taken away from her friends and trying to build new friendships in a new area is definitely not easy to do and she is struggling with the move. As with her mother, things are about to get so much worse for her and this is where she is a shining light in this dark story.
The Runaway is a dark and at times disturbing read. It makes you question how well you really know the ones you love. There is a certain amount of tension and suspense that drew me in and had me hooked. A great story of family dynamics with an unexpected outcome.
My thanks to the author for an advanced readers copy of this book. All opinions are my own and not biased in anyway.
