review 1: Little city girl Paige Baker runs into the woods with her dog, Kobee, to find her mother--and gets distracted by a chipmunk who captures the dog's attention as well. Unfortunately, this was preceded by an unusually loud and emotional fight between her father and mother. The mother shouldn't have been much farther down the trail, but the chipmunk didn't go that way and neither did Kobee or the child. Father Doug thinks mother Emily has the child and vice versa. The San Francisco family is visiting the remote heavily wooded northern area of Glacier Nat'l Park known as Devil's Grasp to finally put to closure a catastrophic event that happened when Emily was a girl, but the disappearance of Paige suddenly opens secrets and events that will also bear on the event that enveloped... more her 22 years ago. While there are a number of scenes that push the curtain of credulity, especially that of a 10 year old under-prepared child surviving 5 days in grizzly infested mountains (much less with a beagle in tow), to the wild final scenes of villain Isaiah Hood the story becomes complicated and includes a number of twists you don't see coming. In between lay some fascinating insights into the wide and varied characters, the very believable dialogue between the characters, as well as the self-talk and recriminations of each of the persons connected to the ever-expanding and eventually world-wide on-going drama lived out in the beautiful Big Sky country of Montana. While I had a little problem believing the parents could be quite that forgiving of Frank Zander, I thought all the loose ends were tied up very neatly and closed out the story well and happily as you kept rooting for Paige to survive. A page turner easily read into the night, this was a free download I would be happy to recommend.
review 2: "Cold Fear" really pulls at the heart. It forces you to keep turning the page. You will find yourself seeking the truth along with those in the book and you will have no idea what that truth is till the very end. This book is by far one of the best if not the best book I have read this year. This is the first book I've read by "Rick Mofine" and after I started it I found it was the second in a series. This and I would guess the others can be read as stand alone books. They are different stories but have repeat characters so as with all series it would be better to read in order. "If Angles Fall" is listed as the first book in this series and I plan to start it today. less
