Gr 7—10—This book is a real thriller. Jill works on a ranch for the summer and she's just exhausted. Up at the crack of dawn, heavy manual labor, low pay, and job-shirking coworkers have pushed her to the breaking point. When she has an argument with her boss, she makes a bad decision and takes a cute guy on a trail ride without getting all the paperwork in order beforehand. He pulls a knife, and Jill's not sure that she can get out of this predicament—but she's going to use every ounce of her strength and all of her emotional resources to fight for her life. Easy to read and short, this page-turner will be in hot demand.—Susan Riley, Mount Kisco Public Library, NY
When Jill took a job as a horseback trail guide she never suspected she'd be fighting for her life while a psychotic killer chases her through the woods. The story is fast moving, and reluctant readers will be on the edge of their seats as Jill tries to outrun--and outthink--her tormentor in this suspenseful page-turner.
