16-year-old Grace has lived in the Smokies all her life, patrolling with her forest ranger father who taught her about wildlife, tracking, and wilderness survival.
When her dad goes missing on a routine patrol, Grace refuses to believe he’s dead and fights the town authorities, tribal officials, and nature to find him.
One day, while out tracking clues, Grace is rescued from danger by Mo, a hot guy with an intoxicating accent and a secret. As her feelings between him and her ex-boyfriend get muddled, Grace travels deep into the wilderness to escape and find her father.
Along the way, Grace learns terrible secrets that sever relationships and lives. Soon she’s enmeshed in a web of conspiracy, deception, and murder. And it’s going to take a lot more than a compass and a motorcycle (named Lucifer) for this kick-butting heroine to save everything she loves.
My Thoughts:
Another delightful debut to add to the list!
Untraceable
is one of those "can’t flip the pages fast enough novels." And the point
of view chapters from Grace added that personality factor like no other
YA novel I’ve read! It’s had to come by, To read a character and really
know who they are. With Grace by my side I think I can survive the
beautiful (and sometimes creepy) wilderness…!
I loved the
relationship between Grace and MO. It’s so very obvious that they both
have feelings for each other and watching their relationship progress
was probably my most favorite aspect of the novel. It really balances
out that whole conspiracy/danger part.
Untraceable is
just an outstanding read, I can’t think of anything that I didn’t like.
The writing was simplistic, easy to read and entertaining. The
characters were realistic and intriguing, and I especially loved the duo
of Grace and Mo. The plot was engaging… mysterious and managed to throw
in a few plot twists in there I never anticipated.
Bottom line… I am a FAN!
Looking forward to seeing where Johannes takes us in the next installment.

ReplyDeleteI have the book but I haven't read it yet. Hopefully I'll get to it in the next few months. Signed Book Buying-oholic. ;)
ReplyDeleteI've been keeping my eye on this one since I first heard about it. Looks like a winner! I love books that are page turners because of action, not just a romance. Gonna have to add this one to my TBR pile.

I am more that willing to read any novel with an attractice character, even if the novel's target audience is younger than I am. :)
