My Thoughts on Termination Dust:

Termination Dust held me spellbound. It was a fast and quick read for me as I became captivated by the characters and couldn’t break away.

I fell in love with Kimmie and her trooper Taylor. At times I wanted to smack her sister though because of her carefree attitude and her flirtatious nature. But later, once I knew what she was going through, I truly felt sorry for her.

Kimmie and her brother have a hard life at home that becomes even more so after her mother’s suicide, or was it a suicide? How can Kimmie keep them clothed and fed and safe when her stepfather refuses to let her work anymore? Will she ever be safe again?

Wow. Just wow. This book was amazing. I loved it. The author has a style that keeps you reading because you think you know what will happen next but you’re not really sure so you better keep reading just in case it’s not as predictable as it seems. Yeah, that will make total sense once you read the book.

Alana Terry has a great suspense read here. More than just great suspense though we also see some hard topics brought up. I’m seeing a lot with hard topics these days. It’s like the flood gates have opened and authors have decided people need to hear and see these things and I’m okay with that.

In Termination Dust, we are exposed to alcoholism, cheating, abuse, and autism. Such a wide array of things going on and mentioned.

You’re going to love this book. Quick aside, as soon as I finished this book I read another one of Alana’s. And then I went in search of another! They’re that good. Definitely a recommend from me.

More from Alana

Something some of my fans may not know about me is while I grew up in the continental United States, I have made my home with my husband and children in Alaska for many years now. I have grown to love Alaska, which is probably why I was so excited to write this series about the Alaskan wilderness to share a bit of my favorite parts of Alaska with my readers.

In Alaska, we have a phrase that perfectly describes the fall season: Termination Dust.

That’s when the first snow falls on the mountains, signifying the end of summer. Fall in Alaska is beautiful. Orange on the tips of the trees lend a splash of color against the backdrop of unending green. For the first time since May, it gets dark enough to see the stars. If you brave the cold and happen to be awake at 1 am, you might even see some shooting stars.

I hope you enjoy reading about Kimmie and her autistic brother as much as I enjoyed writing their story. As with all my suspense novels, if you like determined characters, harsh landscapes, and faith under fire, get ready to dive headfirst into a gripping adventure today!
