Perilous, by Tamara Hart Heiner

Another day, another wonderful bloggy buddy book release! Tamara Hart Heiner's YA novel, Perilous, comes out 16th November --- but the ebook is available now!

Here's the blurb from Amazon:

Jaci Rivera has plans for her sophomore year: go to regionals with the track team, make the honor roll, and eat too much pizza with her best friends, Callie and Sara. Her biggest concern is Amanda, the pushy girl who moved in a few months ago.What she doesn't plan for is catching a robber red-handed, or being kidnapped. The desperate thief drags her and her friends 2,000 miles across the Canadian border. They escape from his lair, only to find that he has spies and agents watching their path home, waiting to intercept them and take them back.Then Jaci finds something out about her family. Something which irrevocably connects her to their kidnapper, and makes her question their chances of escape.

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC from Tamara and even though I don't read much YA, I was hooked. From start to finish, the plight of Jaci and her friends as they make their way through Canada (yay!) and back to their home was thoroughly gripping. Whether or not you're into young adult fiction, this is a story full of suspense, with lots of twists and turns.

Tamara's running an awesome contest:

    That does sound like a great book! I will have to pick it up once I am done with another YA novel I am reading right now (and very much into), The Secret Year by Jennifer Hubbard.

    I'm not THAT pushy, am I?

    The premise of Perilous is something I'd be interested in. I wish Ms. Hart good luck in sales!
