Fresh Fiction Review

A Cold War

Suspense | Mystery

Nina is engaged to Congressman Terrence Donnelly. So why isn't she is over the moon? Nina needs to get away from all the parties she is expected to attend so she decides a business trip to Alaska is just what she needs. She declines the offer of having security come with her because she just wants to be alone. While in Alaska, she is knocked out and wakes up to find Baer (or so he says that is his name) has kidnapped her. Nina has to endure the attacks on her body, both from Baer and the extremely cold weather. Baer takes her way into the Alaska country side where Nina is locked up in a cage like an animal. What Nina finds in the cage could save her life. Nina is unaware of the fact that Baer has done this several times, until she finds a notebook written by Baer's previous victim. Alan Russell writes a real thriller with A COLD WAR. There are so many different twists and turns in this novel that I never would have guessed the way this book turns out. I also love the description of the Alaskan country side. There are some slow parts in A COLD WAR, but once you get through them, the rest of the books is fast moving. In my mind, Alan Russell's writing is just as great as James Patterson. Alan keeps you guessing though the whole book. I found myself cheering for Nina to escape her kidnapper but then realize the previous victim didn't make it. Sit back and try not to jump at some of the story line in A COLD WAR.

SUMMARY

Nina Granville believes her business trip to Alaska will give her a short respite from the merry-go-round that came with her engagement to Congressman Terrence Donnelly. But instead of allowing her the peace she craves, Nina’s getaway from the public eye means that no one witnesses her abduction into a very cold hell. Taken by a mountain man who calls himself Baer and then transported to a remote cabin surrounded by nothing but frozen wilderness, Nina descends into a nightmare of terror, privation, and bitter cold. Nina’s privileged life did not prepare her for imprisonment at the hands of this survivalist trapper. If she is to live—and to escape—Nina realizes she must do it on her own. Undaunted and with startling determination, Nina pits herself against her captor, her fear, and nature itself in a battle for her life—but can she win against such deadly opponents?
