Four teenage girls go to the mall, expecting just to hang out and have a good time. When they're ready to leave, they call a parent to come get them, but that parent gets caught in traffic and is late. While they're waiting, the girls witness a crime, and suddenly find themselves kidnapped, shoved in the back of a van, and have no way of knowing if they're going to survive.
This is how Tamara Hart Heiner's new novel, "Perilous," begins. From the start, the reader is taken on a heart-thumping journey as the girls learn the identity of their kidnappers and then try to escape. Not all of them will make it. Not all of them will come out unscathed. They must all learn to rely on each other and to trust their own instincts as they fight their way back home.
Tamara's writing is crisp and clear, painting evocative word pictures and creating a movie in the reader's mind. You'll be reading on the edge of your eyelids as you race to the end, eager to see how it all plays out. There is a sequel in the works, and I'm very eager to check it out.
Here's the trailer for the book:

Sounds like an exciting book! Thanks for the review.
I hope Tamara's book is doing well. I read it for her prior to publication and liked it, and just now bought it to read again on my iPod. I'm looking forward to the sequel, too!!

Interesting. So are video trailers for books becoming the norm now? Or is it generational (targets younger, more tech savvy audiences)?
Robyn, book trailers target those who use the Internet a lot, so I would say, yes, they're probably for the slightly younger crowd. I'm not sure how many authors will be making them in future. Right now, they're in the inaugural stages.
Tristi, thanks so much for participating! I sure appreciate it!
You're very welcome, Tamara! It was a great read.
It's been fun to see what everyone thinks of this book. Can't wait to read it.
Great review. I got the ebook and can't wait to read it. People are saying such great things about it
