Week 1 Review: Untraceable

From Goodreads:

16 year old Grace was reared in the wilderness. Her first pet was a bear named Simon. Her first potty, an oak tree. And, her first swing, a forest vine. Grace has lived in the Smokies her whole life, patrolling with her forest ranger father who taught her everything he knew about wildlife, tracking, and wilderness survival. But when Grace's dad goes missing on a routine patrol, unlike everyone in her sleepy mountain town, she refuses to believe he's dead. When a Cheetos bag and stolen government file materialize, Grace is convinced she’s one step closer to proving all the non-believers wrong.

Then one day while out tracking clues, Grace is rescued from imminent danger by Mo, a hot guy with an intoxicating accent, that's definitely not from her neck of the woods, and a secret. Grace has never felt a connection like this before, certainly not with her ex-boyfriend, the adoring, but decidedly unrugged Wyn. 

Now with renewed confidence, Grace travels deeper into the wilderness that has always been her refuge only to learn that her father's disappearance is not a mere coincidence. Soon she's enmeshed in a web of conspiracy, deception, and murder. And it's going to take a lot more than a compass and a motorcycle (named Lucifer) for this kickass heroine to emerge from an epidemic that's spreading like wild fire, threatening everything and everyone she's ever loved

My Review:
This book was addictive right off the bat. Full of mystery, intrigue, and a dash of romance, it was a heart-pounding book, and I just needed to read more! It did help that there was a lot of little cool survival tips that were linked to what was happening in each chapter, making me think of why they might be there. That was a lot of fun!

I really enjoyed the mystery, and the romance, and how they blended together, because Wyn is something of a mystery, and yeah, there's the whole matter of her dad's disappearance, and the odd things that are going around town.

I had pretty much forgotten the prologue, and had kinda thought that this might have a supernatural element to it, what how the prologue was, but when we got to that point in the book again, I didn't get that same feeling, because hey, not that kind of book.

But that ending! I want to know more, I want to have the next book, because he's dead, and her dad did that for her, and yeah, it's a bit of a mess, and she's going to have some hard times ahead, dealing with that grief, and yeah, I want more answers!

This was a spectacular book, and I can't wait to read the next book!
