Over the Falls by Rebecca Hodge
4.0
I received a free copy of this book from Dreamscape Media through Netgalley.com in exchange for an honest review.
This is the first book I've listened to by Rebecca Hodge and I will definitely be listening to more. This is a fast paced book as Bryn and her nephew Josh race to find his mother before a criminal from their past finds her.
Bryn lives a solitary existence until her nephew shows up unexpectedly telling her that her estranged sister is missing and he doesn't know where she could be. Struggling with feelings from her past Bryn struggles with helping but ultimately has the choice taken away when someone threatens her farm.
As Bryn and Josh travel the country in search of his mother they are also learning about how their past has influenced their current circumstances. As the bond between Aunt and nephew grows they discover surprises and learn that they are stronger than they believed.
This was a good read and the narrators really nailed the characters. Hodge did a good job of navigating the feelings of a young boy with an addict mother and the responsibility he felt to take care of her. She also did a great job with Bryn and her struggle with intimacy due to a huge betrayal by the people who she loved the most.
