My Thoughts on Frost Heaves:

Frost Heaves is another knock it out of the park novel by author Alana Terry. I’ve loved every book of hers I’ve read and this is no different.

This book sucks you in. You cannot put it down. Your life depends on you continuing to turn the pages of this book until it’s over. Wow.

I loved this book. It’s a great suspense read that is also a quick read. The characters are full of personality and I couldn’t help but fall in love with Dez and her very active little mouth. I mean who wouldn’t fall in love with a kid that cute with that much personality. But I also felt a tiny bit sorry for Jade having to parent her alone. I don’t know if I could do that one justice alone. You’d need back up!

Maybe Jade will get back up soon. The book doesn’t quite say but I’ve got my fingers crossed. Officer Ben would be a nice addition to the family.

I don’t want to give away too much but I can’t help but talk about the book some because it was a great read. Jade escaped a cult that she was raised in with her life and a wonderful blessing in her daughter. But she lost her parents because of their support in her. Or at least that’s how she sees it.

When her past becomes her present can she save what she loves most? Can she overcome her fear and even hatred of law enforcement long enough to let them help her find her baby girl? And maybe could she learn to rely and trust on one officer in particular?

Great novel! Loved this suspense book as much as the other books by this author that I’ve read. She knows how to write them to keep you engaged and involved til the last word is spoken or written in this case.

About the Author of Frost Heaves

Alana is a pastor’s wife, homeschooling mom, self-diagnosed chicken lady, and Christian suspense author. Her novels have won awards from Women of Faith, Book Club Network, Grace Awards, Readers’ Favorite, and more. Alana’s passion for social justice, human rights, and religious freedom shines through her writing, and her books are known for raising tough questions without preaching. She and her family live in rural Alaska where the northern lights in the winter and midnight sun in the summer make hauling water, surviving the annual mosquito apocalypse, and cleaning goat stalls in negative forty degrees worth every second.

More from Alana

While my childhood was spent in the lower 48 states, my husband and I moved to Alaska and this beautiful state has now become the place I call home. Even though adjusting to rural living (we moved to a town with only 400 residents) took some getting used to, I have grown to love everything about Alaska.

In fact, I love it so much, I thought to myself, “I want to share the beauty of where we live with my readers.” And the best way I could think of to do that was to write a three-book, standalone series showcasing some of the wonderful things about Alaska living.

However, it wouldn’t be an Alana Terry series without a lot of exciting, fast-paced suspense readers have grown to love. Identity Theft, Termination Dust, and Frost Heaves are filled with action, adventure, mystery and even a little bit of romance.

Three different stories. All set in my beautiful state of Alaska. With all the action, adventure, suspense, and underlying hope that readers have come to love.

One reviewer described Frost Heaves as “… full of suspense, covered with faith and truth, and sweetened with a touch of romance.”

I wrote these books to share my love of Alaska as well as God’s love and redemption with others. And I hope you’ll turn the last page satisfied, but ready for more.

If the Alaska Refuge Christian Suspense series is your introduction to Alana Terry books, you’ve read all three in the series (in any order), and you’re ready for more action, I’d like to introduce you to Kennedy Stern. Read Unplanned, Book 1 in the 9 book series. Once you get started, I’m sure you won’t want to put it down.
