12 posts | 8 read | 2 reading | 38 to read
"The Wild Inside is an unusual love story and a creepy horror novel think of the Bront sisters and Stephen King." John Irving A promising talent makes her electrifying debut with this unforgettable novel, set in the Alaskan wilderness, that is a fusion of psychological thriller and coming-of-age tale in the vein of Jennifer McMahon, Chris Bohjalian, and Mary Kubica. A natural born trapper and hunter raised in the Alaskan wilderness, Tracy Petrikoff spends her days tracking animals and running with her dogs in the remote forests surrounding her familys home. Though she feels safe in this untamed land, Tracy still follows her late mothers rules: Never Lose Sight of the House. Never Come Home with Dirty Hands. And, above all else, Never Make a Person Bleed. But these precautions arent enough to protect Tracy when a stranger attacks her in the woods and knocks her unconscious. The next day, she glimpses an eerily familiar man emerge from the tree line, gravely injured from a vicious knife wounda wound from a hunting knife similar to the one she carries in her pocket. Was this the man who attacked her and did she almost kill him? With her memories of the events jumbled, Tracy cant be sure. Helping her father cope with her mothers death and prepare for the approaching Iditarod, she doesnt have time to think about what she may have done. Then a mysterious wanderer appears, looking for a job. Tracy senses that Jesse Goodwin is hiding something, but she cant warn her father without explaining about the attackor why shes kept it to herself. It soon becomes clear that something dangerous is going on . . . the way Jesse has wormed his way into the family . . . the threatening face of the stranger in a crowd . . . the boot-prints she finds at the forests edge. Her family is in trouble. Will uncovering the truth protect themor is the threat closer than Tracy suspects?

The Wild Inside
Where I come from; the hunting party,
Alone in the wild, never look back!
Red at the bone; feast of sorrow.

Hmm... seems I‘m in a darker spine poetry mood. 🤔😉

#MOvember Still playing #catchup from the week

Tracy, the MC of this book is a natural-born trapper and hunter" & certainly a #GirlGoneWild in the forrest around her home in the Alaskan wilderness. I reviewed it in April of 2018 & still remember Tracy‘s late mother's 3 rules:
“Never lose sight of the house."
"Never come home with dirty hands."
& above all else “Never make a person bleed."

The gorgeous cover remains one of my favorites. ❄️?

Cinfhen Love those rules 😂🤣 4y

#ReadingResolutions #adventure

This dark debut-part horror, part psychological suspense, part coming-of-age novel won't be for everyone but I found myself caught up in the story & the Alaskan wilderness setting. I find sled dog racing & the Iditarod fascinating & loved those aspects & all the twists. There are some disturbing scenes😱but very unique & absorbing. Paired with vegan chili for my book tour review. Link👇🏻

Finishing this one up for my book tour review tomorrow. Strange, a bit creepy, but good so far.

Max 🐱does not approve of this book because of the dog on the cover. (And I didn't even tell him what happens to a cat in it!) 🙀He also thinks that if he takes my comfy spot, I'll give up and stop reading it. #catsoflitsy 😽❤️

Cinfhen Hi MAX😻 6y
GlassAsDiamonds 😱😱😱😱 what happens to the cat???? 6y
Leftcoastzen He‘s so adorable, and he looks so wise sometimes.😻 6y

DebinHawaii @GlassAsDiamonds That would be a spoiler. 🙀😱 6y
GlassAsDiamonds @DebinHawaii I am never reading this book.... (very few book absolutes but the kitties must survive!!!) 😉 6y
DebinHawaii @GlassAsDiamonds OK. Let's just say a character has some 'unusual' drinking appetites which she normally takes care of with small woodland mammals but in this case a barn cat made her angry. 😱It actually isn't graphically told (in this instance) in the book but it's still disturbing to think about. 6y
GlassAsDiamonds @DebinHawaii 😱😱😱 yep. Nope. Just nope. (I‘m a woose. Complete and utter woose. Not even Bambi in our household and David Attenborough is *strictly* forbidden unless he‘s talking about plants!). Warning appreciated though 😊 6y
Burghbookaddict I got up to get a drink in the middle of the night last night. Was out of bed for 1 minute. Came back and one of my cats was curled up in my spot 😑 6y

#ReadingResolutions #wilderness ?Respectively set in the wilds of Alaska and a hidden town in the Yukon Territory, these two books from my #TBR stack are all about the wilderness. I'll be starting the tagged #ARC soon for an upcoming book tour review & I need to finish "This Fallen Prey" & get it back to the library.

(I took the picture in the 'wilderness' of my backyard!)???

My favorite book of 2018 so far. 5⭐️ Just brutally beautiful and unconventional and I have the worst of book hangovers still two days after finishing. The Alaskan wilderness setting is exquisite. The MC Tracy Petrikoff may be tough to love for some, if I am honest. She has some odd behaviors which can be off-putting. I saw her as a deeply grieving young girl with an affliction that she didn‘t ask for, and so I was able to accept her as she is.

Bklover Oooh, this sounds really good!!! Really want to read this one!!! 6y
MarticaMustRead Stacked!📚 I'm currently reading Kristen Hannah's latest which also takes place in Alaska & LOVING that setting so this sounds great. 6y
monkeygirlsmama I like the cover. Will stack and maybe check it out one of these days when my stacks for review drop down a bit. 6y

I‘ve spent glorious time with this beauty this past weekend. I‘m not entirely finished yet-almost! But I have read and reread passages and entire chapters out of sheer amazement, and I‘m thinking this will be my favorite of the year so far. Some reviews have not liked the MC but I am so drawn by her honesty and how unique she is. And this author is writing what she knows with the Alaskan setting and I AM IN LOVE, my gosh my gosh.

MyBookLife This sounds great!!! 6y
Mitch Stunning cover 6y
intothehallofbooks @MyBookLife I cannot get over how much I have loved reading this one! 6y
intothehallofbooks @Mitch Yes! It really is stunning! The cover is what initially drew my eye. In my hands, it looks like I could actually feel the animal and the cold air of Alaska. Beautiful! 6y

#ReadingResolutions #fierce I've not started this yet but reading the back cover, the MC Tracy Petrikoff-"a natural-born trapper and hunter" certainly sounds fierce. As do her late mother's rules: "Never lose sight of the house."
"Never come home with dirty hands." & above all else
"Never make a person bleed."
And the blurb saying it's "an unusual love story and a creepy horror novel--think of the Bronte Sisters and Stephen King"-pretty fierce!
