Awakened one night to a strange sound in the next room, Emi Warren is terrified to realize that there's an intruder in the house. She's even more terrified to discover that he left a shrine to her and seems to know things about her past that even she doesn't know. The answers to her questions lie in the Austrian Alps, the birthplace of her deceased father. Taking a chance, she flies there, along with Daniel, the man she has secretly loved for years. Seeking out her father's ancestral home, she hopes to resolve the dark mystery surrounding her family, but then it takes a turn she never expected."Trapped" is the second novel by Ronda Gibb Hinrichsen. I enjoyed the suspense and found the twists and turns engaging and unique. There were some moments in the action that could have been more clearly described - I wasn't always sure exactly what was going on - and I did have a few issues with some of the minor plot points, but putting that to the side, it was an enjoyable read and I look foward to seeing more from this author.

Her expression remained somber, but excitement crept into her voice. You are the Firstborn She...You must go to them. You want me to act as bait? Not bait, Emi. A spy. Our Trojan horse.
When Emi Warrin wakes one night to find a thief in her mother's house, she has no idea the intruder
has planted a trap - a mysterious letter that will change her life forever. Lured to the Austrian Alps with Daniel, the man she loves, Emi is thrown into a perilous, mafia-like world of feuding families and a devastating curse that spans generations. As the Firstborn She - the only firstborn female in hundreds of years - only Emi can free her family from the curse that will soon afflict her as well. But for Emi to break the curse, she must delve into evil designs. As Emi struggles to understand her destiny as the Firstborn She, she learns that everything isn't as it seems and that all choices have consequences. Can Emi break the curse before it's too late?

My sister-in-law was an exchange student in Austria years ago, and from her stories, I've always wanted to go to Salzburg.
Sounds interesting. I would love to do the whole Sound of Music tour in Austria!
If I ended up in Austria, I'd find a way to visit them all. But I would start with Salzburg. Trapped sounds like an interesting book.
So is this the second book in a series or the second book published by Hinrichsen? Sounds interesting.
A city in Austria? Um, shoot, how about Salzburg? I hope that's in Austria. It's a Sound of Music thing for me, but honestly, it's the only city I can think of without googling it. :)
I am excited to read this book! I would love to visit Salzburg!
This book sounds intriguing!
I appreciate your honest review.
If I were vising Austria I'd go to Vienna. The only city that comes to mind when I think of Austria...
Hey Tristi - I just read a review you wrote on families.com about a book about the Family Proclamation...Anyway, I am interested in having you write a guest post for my Family Proclamation Celebration coming up in September. Please email me if you are interested: jocelyn (dot) christensen (at) gmail (dot) com

It's the second book by this author, but they are unrelated story lines.
And I want to come to Austria with all of you. Okay? :)
