This title in other editionsNo Safe Havenby Kimberley Woodhouse
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Jenna and Andi Tikaani-Gray are hoping for a fresh start. Though twelve year-old Andi has long struggled with a rare medical disorder, she and her mother have finally received good news from out-of-town specialists. It's news they desperately needed, especially after the recent death of Jenna's husband (Andi's dad) in a car accident. But as they are flying home to Alaska, ready to begin again, the unthinkable happens. The pilot sabotages their small plane and crashes into Sultana, one of the most remote and dangerous mountains in the Land of the Midnight Sun. Even worse, a winter storm is headed their way along with someone who doesn't want to save them, but to kill them. Only one man can keep them alive: Cole Maddox, the mysterious last-minute passenger who joined them on their flight. But trust doesn't come easy to Jenna or AndiÑand they both sense Cole is hiding something. A relentless tale of survival and suspense unfolds, involving military technology designed by Jenna's late husband that some would do anything to possess.

Christian Retailing (Top Pick review) "A thrilling adventure of the heart and mind . . . No Safe Haven is a brilliant start to what will be an unmissable series from this mother and daughter team." Relz Reviewz "Romance, suspense, intrigue--Kimberley and Kayla Woodhouse have crafted a book that has it all. You won't be able to put this one down!" Jenny B. Jones, award-winning author of Save the Date and A Charmed Life series "A nail-biting delight of a romantic suspense novel. I loved the Alaskan setting and characters. The Woodhouse writing duo is dynamite!" Colleen Coble, author of The Lightkeeper's Ball and the Rock Harbor series "Non-stop action from an unforgettable mother/daughter team." Brandilyn and Amberly Collins, co-authors of the award-winning Rayne Tour Series "An incredible adventure thriller that kept me turning pages well into the wee hours. I look forward to more from this incredible mother-daughter team." Tracie Peterson, best-selling author of the Striking a Match series "Based on personal knowledge and experience, the authors create realistic characters. Alternating perspectives, love, loss and mystery hold the readers attention. The authors remind us that faith is simple: All one must do is believe." RT Book Reviews (4 stars) "The story is captivating and the action is fast-paced." TitleTrakk.com Review:"The two authors are a mother and her teenage daughter, and they borrow from reality — Kayla, the teenager, has a rare nerve disorder that prevents her from regulating body temperature or sensing pain — in presenting the action-filled tale of a mother and daughter, Jenna and Andie Tikaani-Gray (with the same disorder), whose plane is sabotaged and crashes into Sultana, the formidable neighbor of Alaska's Mt. Denali. A seriously injured Jenna and Andie must decide whether to trust the other crash survivor, Cole Maddox, in a plan to survive, and Maddox doesn't seem especially trustworthy. The story has its fascinating bits — Andie's unusual disorder, survival in the Alaskan wilderness, the native Alaskan background of the two women — as well as not very original plot elements: Maddox's weepy backstory, cartoonish villains, the sage hospital chaplain. The evangelical Christian formula of accepting-Jesus-as-your-savior helps drive the plot, which some will like and others won't. This has page-turning potential, but is too predictable and emotionally manipulative to earn a large audience. (Mar.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright PWyxz LLC)
