"Rook" By Stella MacDonald #BookReview & #BookTour

Could you be the monster to save who you love? 

Two women, separated by generations, must leave what they know to start a new life. Seventeen-year-old Kate's senior year is ruined when she's moved from the only home she's ever known. After an isolating month alone in her apartment, school starts, but neither her classmates nor her teacher are who they seem. 

Kali, a single mother living in the nineteenth century wilds of Montana, is stalked by a malicious past. She fights to keep her daughter safe while her freedom is threatened by her less than benevolent benefactor. 

Both find love, and with it hope, but that is quickly ripped away as one woman must learn the lessons of the other -- before it's too late to save either.

Excerpt 

Is that him? Is he back? 

My legs jerked, kicking and twitching me around to face the sound. I managed to roll slightly, knocking against a soft, solid object at my feet. It grunted weakly, and immediately I recoiled as though I had been bitten. Squinting, I stared, willing my eyes to find light in the dark, but there was nothing. 

The sound of the runner drew closer, as if they would trample me any moment. A dim, swaying light appeared through the trees, burning away the inky edges of the deep shadows. When light and sound were almost upon me, branches above me snapped, spraying me in a shower of dried pine needles and snow. 


After taking a chapter or two to really get a feel for the book, I started over. I had a little bit of a difficult time getting the flow right, with the story being told from two different viewpoints and from two completely different time periods. This is not a negative to this book at all, as I don't think that there would be a more perfect way of writing this book.

There is complete mystery,  a paranormal jigsaw puzzle that will keep you glued to each page. Phenomenal characters and plot development resonates consistently to the very end. I am now anxiously awaiting more from Stella MacDonald and the possibility of more to this series!
