My Review:

I have enjoyed Alana Terry’s books, and I was glad to have the opportunity to review this one.

I like that this story is written in the first person point of view.  Willow Winters is a young lady who is a sophomore in college.  She’s sharing with us how the experiences on the plane led her to make a decision to accept Christ as her Savior.  It’s very much how a newly born-again teenage girl might explain her experience, and I found it refreshing.  Willow rambles in her story at times, sometimes quite a bit, but I got to know some of the other passengers on the plane quite well in her descriptive ramblings. My interest was held throughout the whole story.

However, this is a short book, only 55 pages long. I did not realize this when I began reading the book, and it threw me off just a little bit.  I’m telling you this now, because If you know this isn’t a full length book before you read it, you’ll understand why there’s a such fast paced storyline from the beginning. I wanted more from this story, and it just wasn’t there.  But my wanting more from the story also proves this author is a talented writer.  

So, all in all, I liked the book. I’m hoping the author will put the whole series in one collection at some point.  I’d love to read it straight through.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.

More from Alana

I’m excited to share my new Turbulent Skies Christian Thriller novella series with all of you! The inspiration behind this series came when I was taking a flight a few years ago … and indulging in one of my favorite past times – people watching! As I looked at the various passengers around me, I started to wonder about their lives … and it was from that line of thinking this novella series was born!

I first wrote a book about a terrifying experience on board an airplane years earlier, (Turbulence, Book #5 in the Kennedy Stern series) and because many members of my amazing Readers’ Club had been asking me to write a book featuring Willow, one of their favorite characters from the Kennedy Stern series, it seemed fitting that Willow gets to be the star in the first of these novellas.

Terror in the Skies is Willow’s story. She’s a chic Alaskan college student, a free spirit who finds herself sharing a dorm room with a conservative Christian missionary kid. Willow first makes her appearance in the Kennedy Stern Christian suspense series, meaning that over a hundred thousand readers have met her!

I can’t tell you too much about this life-of-the-party aspiring actress (mostly because I don’t want to spoil anything for you if you happen to still be making your way through the Kennedy Stern books). But I can tell you she is the first main character in this six-book novella series that helps answer the question: “Who are you really sitting next to hundreds of feet up in the air?”

Maybe, like me, after reading this series, you’ll never look at your fellow passengers the same way!
