Title: Haunting, Harrowing and Happily Ever After
Review: I was glued to each page every waking hour. The story, the detail, the characters, the terror, every page invoked strong emotion. Amazingly well written and beautifully executed, it has the top spot on the books I’ve read this year by far. It has easily gained a spot on my favorite books of all time.Don’t read further if you don’t want the ending spoiled!The ending was absolutely perfect, all of the ends tided up in a beautiful bow after the tumultuous sea of horror up until those last 2 pages.Thank you, Noelle West Ihli, this is a literary masterpiece that will forever stay with me and I will definitely reread it!

Title: quick, good read
Review: It’s a good read! It’s not gripping, but there are many points of just ick and feeling uneasy. The characters are great!

Title: Emotionally Intense, Dark Thriller
Review: This is the second book I’ve read by this author. The first was Ask for Andrea which was absolutely brilliant, with less of the disturbing factor and more creative. I almost didn’t want to read any of her other books because the others all sound darker than my normal reading choices. I will probably still pass on Run on Red but I finally bought Grey After Dark and Room for Rent.I just finished Grey After Dark and I gotta admit, at one point I almost quit, asking myself ‘why am I putting these dark images into my mind?’ but the book was sooooo well-written I just couldn’t put it down, even though I found it disturbing.This is certainly Not a fun, easy read. It’s quite dark and deals with some intense abuse. Those easily triggered should obviously stay away. The rape scenes weren’t graphic (amazingly) but other scenes were. This book is Not for the faint of heart.Given the genre that it is, it’s quite well done. Noelle is an absolute master writer!This book gives new meaning to “which would you rather face in the woods, a man or a bear?” meme circulating all over social media.I have only one bit of feedback to the author:I realize that women have been fighting for a very long time to NOT be blamed for rape and other abuse by men. Obviously, those things are ALWAYS the abuser/rapist’s fault, No matter what. There is NEVER any excuse for rape or any kind of abuse.Having said that, the fact remains that there ARE predators out there. OF COURSE it’s the predator’s fault. But at the same time, we must be realistic. Just as there are thieves out there and most of us know that and always lock our doors at night, right? We don’t just leave our doors open and invite in the thieves.Likewise, feminist thinking has gone too far in convincing women that they can run alone in the woods because if a man rapes them, it’s the man’s fault. OF COURSE it’s the man’s fault. BUT it was STILL foolish for the woman to run alone in the woods, especially without any sort of reliable weapon. (Leaving a weapon out of reach makes it worthless.)So, my only minor feedback to the author is that she seemed to go out of her way to avoid the elephant in the room, which is that Miley really screwed up in choosing to run alone in the woods, without any cell service, with No weapon within reach at all times, and No one even knowing where she was.That is sooooo obvious you might think it didn’t need to be said, but it seemed strange that Miley never acknowledged her mistake. That part wasn’t realistic. She seemed defiant even when her choice resulted in such a horrible situation.It seemed that the author didn’t dare let her main character do any real introspection about that bad decision for fear of being accused of blaming the victim.Acknowledging that there ARE predators out there, and taking steps to avoid them, is NOT blaming the victim!Yes, a woman SHOULD be able to run in the woods and be vulnerable, without fear of predators. But, unfortunately, that just isn’t the way it is.Also, I don’t want to give any spoilers as to whether the characters survived or Not, so I’ll just be vague here and say that more attention could have been paid to the long-term effects of such intense trauma, which sort of got glossed over.Other than those teeeny tiny complaints, the book was phenomenal.I’m going to take a deep breath, get up the courage and start the next book by this author. I hope she writes more books that are less disturbing and more creative (like Ask for Andrea).

Title: Exciting and Unpredictable
Review: Slow to start but kept you wanting to go read more. Hard to put down after reading about the terror and harsh circumstances Miley had to endure from Hamish and his dad. To learn and understand Rayna with her harsh punishments that she delivered to Miley and receiving such harsh cruel punishment herself. Also her willingness to help get Brent and everyone to a point of survival finally in the end. Good Read

Review: Perfectly delivered!This was my first Noelle W. Ihli book, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, giving it a solid 4.5 stars!I held back from a full 5 because, while the ending delivered a satisfying, hero-like conclusion that had me on the edge of my seat, it lacked the major plot twist I usually crave in thrillers. I tend to prefer endings that leave a lingering, bittersweet taste. Nevertheless, the book’s readability made it easy to follow and thoroughly enjoyable. I also appreciated how Noelle introduced me to a sport I had never heard of, doing so without overwhelming technical detail, yet still making it compelling.The suspense kept me hooked, and I found myself holding my breath during many tense moments throughout the story.

Review: I really couldn’t get into the Olympic training stuff at the start, felt really slow and uninteresting to me. But I pushed through…Glad I did, got hooked and couldn’t stop! Very intense and had to know what was going to happen next. Kept me at the edge of my seat. Second of Noelle’s books I’ve read and safe to say, I’ll be going back for a third!
