BLOG TOUR: DEAD DRIFT BY KELLY ROMO @rararesources

Dead Drift

Two teenage girls on the run with fake IDs and a beater car…what could go wrong?

 Emmy has always been impulsive. She is no longer a minor and has aged out of foster care. When her best friend, Amber, is the target of a perverted uncle who lives in the basement of her group home, they plan her escape.

 They head for Canada, where Amber will be safe, and the foster care system can no longer control their lives. When they come across a whitewater rafting brochure, they decide to take a detour for one last adventure before leaving the country. Emmy and Amber have no idea it will be a decision that will forever change their fates.

 The rafting town is so far in the middle of nowhere that Emmy’s car radio catches nothing but static. They consider turning around until a truck pulls up, loaded with hot whitewater rafting guides and rubber rafts--just the fun they were looking for. Ignoring every instinct, they turn off the pavement and follow the truck down an isolated dirt road. They end up in Lodell, the town where a girl went missing the previous summer…and she will not be the last. 

My Thoughts 

Reading this book had me on edge from the very beginning because to me it was a nice mix of thriller, action and horror all rolled into one. Emily and Amber had a plan, ESCAPE and start over. And this is what they were doing when they left that day with new names and made their way to Canada. But this trip was interrupted for a whitewater rafting adventure. Emily, fueled by her need to experience new adventures and Amber's wanting to get away from it all, they end up in Lodell. 

Now what was great about Lodell at least for me was that it is no ordinary town by any means. I am from Trinidad and Tobago so reading about places like this , makes me very excited because it really works my imagination. When you read this book, you very early on become interested in the characters and you get a sinking feeling that something is not right about Emily and Amber's adventure. Imagine me reading in the middle of the night on my kindle and saying "TURN BACK". (NO I am not crazy just enjoying the book).

All in all this was a page turner. I enjoyed it.
