Timely Suspense! 'Nine' - by Rachelle Dekker

 

About the book:

Some secrets can't stay hidden

Zoe Johnson has spent most of her life living in the shadows, never drawing attention to herself, never investing in people or places. But when a wide-eyed, bedraggled teenager with no memory walks into the diner where Zoe works, everything changes.

Against her better judgment, Zoe, who has been trying to outrun her own painful memories of the past, finds herself attempting to help a girl who doesn't seem to have any past at all. With little warning, they must follow the only sure thing they know: a woman hundreds of miles away, will either save them . . . or be the last person to see them alive.

My review:

This was an intriguing story about survival and choices and whether or not our past determines who we are.  There was a lot of action, some violence, though not gory, and a little bit of romance.  This story actually refers back to "The Girl Behind the Red Rope," I realized as I got quite a ways into it but it works well as a stand-alone also.  There's talk about good and evil, right and wrong and mention of God, though no overt faith message.  I enjoyed this suspenseful story that also made me think.  I recommend it if you like suspense, especially if it's a little out of the ordinary.

I received this book free from Revell.  I was not compensated for this review.  All opinions are my own.
