Audio Book Review: Termination Dust by Alana Terry

This is a nice Christian romantic suspense.
Termination Dust: An Alaskan Refuge Christian Suspense Novel
Written by Alana Terry
Narrated by Becky Doughty

Release Date: May 23, 2019
Publisher: Firstfruits Publishing
Run time: 5 hours and 33 minutes
Genre: Christian, Romantic Suspense
My Rating: 4.0 of 5.0 Overall; Story 4.0; Narration 4.0.


How far would you go to protect the ones you love? After her mother’s death, Kimmie flees with her autistic brother to escape their violent stepfather. With nowhere to go, and nothing but faith in God to keep her going, Kimmie braves the icy Alaskan wilderness in this riveting listen.



Review:
Kimmie tried to convince her mother to leave her abusive husband. When her mother is found dead, presumably of suicide, Kimmie takes on the task of protecting her autistic brother. It isn’t easy to find the courage or means to break away but she is encouraged by contact from her older sister. Kimmie also gets sympathy from the young trooper, Taylor, who seems to be ready to give her support.

More secrets are revealed and her mother’s death begins to look like murder. Even though Kimmie wants to escape, it isn’t clear that she will be safe. She appreciates her sister’s help but isn’t willing to depend on her alone. Fortunately, Kimmie has a strong sense of faith to help her depend on God who can truly help.

This is the second book in the series I have read. The writing is light, easy, and quick reading/ listening. I find the female character a little less confident than I would like but it is probably all too fitting for the abusive home situation. There are danger and suspense in the story which moves along quickly. The romance is warm, sweet, and slow-building. The faith elements are provided through the character's life and do not come off as preachy. I recommend this series to fans of light Christian romantic suspense.

Audio Notes: Again, Becky Doughty does a nice job with the narration. It is clear and flows well even if it is not ‘full-bodied’ (i.e. full of distinct character voices). I liked being able to enjoy this quick listen.
