I would like to share a new book called Resceued by Dena Crawford-Nibler. I received in exchange for this review. Inside this post is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the products you purchase.
This is a book I wouldn’t read on my own because the cover being black with red writing and the hands hanging out of the jail remind me of a Witch’s hand. I thought the book might be scary and it would keep me from sleeping at night but it doesn’t do that.
It’s a suspenseful thriller a genre of books I don’t usually read but wanting Charlie and David to read more for our 30 Minutes of Reading Challenge I asked for a copy of the book which David and I could read together.
As we begin the book there were questions that made me go huh and jump out of my skin at times but nothing that would keep me from sleeping. I enjoyed the story and I might even check out more of her books to share with David because its more of a mystery story than a suspenseful story.
About the book: Calliope King has come across some strange and unsettling situations as a social worker. None of them compare to what she finds at the end of Abernathy Lane.
The Maxwells claim to be a family that believes in simple living and quiet devotion., but Callie has a feeling that something else is going on at their farm. Their clothing from centuries past, unnaturally silent children, and the fact that Callie can’t find a trace of them in public records has her starting to believe that the Maxwell’s placid farm hides something much more sinister than a family choosing to live apart from the modern world.
Callie enlists her friend, private detective Xavier Ramos, in her quest to find out more about the Maxwells. What he finds only muddies the situation further. Missing people, false identities, and suspicious deaths seem to follow the family everywhere they go.
As they dive deeper into the mystery, they soon realize that the Maxwells know that Callie and Xavier are looking into their lives.
And they are not happy about it.
Can Callie and Xavier discover what’s hiding under the pleasant exterior of the farm at the end of Abernathy Lane? Who exactly are Charity and Simon Maxwell, and what are they doing that they want to keep hidden? And exactly how far will they go to protect their secrets?
Rescued is a suspenseful thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat until the jaw-dropping conclusion.
