This heart-pounding story had me hooked from the start. Ally Carter (also the author of the Embassy Row series…which is not my favorite) has crafted a well-balanced story of intrigue and danger in her newest YA read.
This story alters between Maddie and Logan’s perspectives. Logan’s dad is the President of the United States, and Maddie’s dad used to be his head Secret Service agent until he almost gets killed during a hostage situation. After that, Maddie’s dad whisked her off to the wilderness of Alaska where she hasn’t seen or spoken to Logan in six years. Until he shows up unexpectedly on her doorstep. And then promptly gets kidnapped. With a storm coming in and her dad off getting supplies, Maddie’s the only person who can save him.
I really liked the characters, especially having a strong female lead. Maddie is resourceful and practical while still feminine and girly. She thinks quickly and is stronger than everyone thinks, which leads to many humorous interactions with their kidnappers. Logan is also a strong lead, however, it’s Maddie who really shines.
There are a few plot holes, but this book was a fast-paced and enjoyable read.
