My Review
5 stars
It is 1994 and St. Petersburg and a group of young girls are flirting with the guys. Next thing they know they are being trafficked to Minnesota. One girl escapes and ends up in Brooke and Jamie’s canoe. Brooke and Jamie know she needs help and take her to the Sheriff. But Brooke can’t seem to get her off her mind and checks in with the local newspaper editor. It wasn’t Homeland Security that picked up the girl and the more Brooke digs to find the truth the more she becomes a target that needs to be silenced.
Although 18 years old, Brooke has a strong plan for herself, is very caring, and is willing to stand up for what is right. I really liked how she was bound and determined to help Anya even with everyone trying to stop her.
I’m sad to say that I have not read Patriot yet but after reading Heroine I can’t wait to get a copy. This is a great thriller with lots of action and a great story. This is one book to add to your shelf.
I received Heroine from Sage’s Reading Room for free. This has in no way influenced my opinion of this book.
