The hiking Trip by Jenny Blackhurst- Review

Standard

I picked this one up when I was out shopping before Christmas as it sounded intriguing and the cover was enticing.  I enjoyed it immensely and read it in one day.

A ten day camping/hiking trip gone wrong for the protagonist ends up affecting her whole life when she meets up with various strangers on the trail.

It is a fast paced story that keeps you on your toes.  I figured out some stuff early on but didn’t figure out one of the main things until pretty late in the tale. Which I love since I usually figure out solutions easily. A book that keeps me guessing is always a joy.

This one has a cool premise and the author executed it to perfection. She writes in a way that keeps the tension going but also gives the reader a bit of a rest in spots so it’s not a frantic read, but rather a story that has ebbs and then spurts of high action. A veritable roller coaster ride of a story. I can’t say much more than that due to the risk of spoilers but I can say it’s in your interest to go grab a copy if you like suspense as it’s well worth immersing yourself in the ups and downs of this one.

It was a quick read even though it was a densely packed almost 300 pages.
