Welcome
to my Christian romantic suspense book
review page, this month featuring . . .
Rachelle
McCalla , new Love Inspired Suspense author.
Once an aspiring astronaut (okay, she was a child then), now a wife
and the mother of four energetic children, she has discovered that
her aptitudes lie more along the lines of writing. And she is so right!
Survival
Instinct
(Love Inspired Suspense, February 2010) is Rachelle's
first published novel.
When
Abby Caldwell's dangerous ex-fiance demands
the return of the ring within two days, she scrambles to retrieve
it from Lake Superior's remote Devil's Island in spite of stormy fall
weather. Much to her surprise, a former college classmate and his
mother and stepfather have booked the only available boat to the island.
Scott Frazier remembers Abby and quickly agrees
to let her share their transportation. Neither realize the island
holds nothing but terror until both the boat and then his mother go
missing , and they are pressed to the limits to survive with only
one another and God to rely on as they battle ruthless enemies.
Survival
Instinct spins
the fast-paced story of a woman trying to survive and overcome a painful
and now life-threatening past relationship. It also makes maximum
use of the story setting. You will love this well-written novel from
its first word to the last. "Someone was watching her . . . "
Living
in Bayfield WI, author Rachelle McCalla found herself fascinated by
the nearby isolated and almost inhabitable Apostle Islands. Ideas
percolated, and there she began her story about a girl marooned and
left to die on Devil's Island. That story eventually became Survival
Instinct.
Once
you've inhaled her first novel, you'll be glad you won't have long
to wait for her second. Troubled Waters
(Steeple Hill Love Inspired Suspense), the sequel to
Survival Instinct, comes out in June 2010.
