The title of this book caught my attention and the cover too. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but who could go wrong with a title that would indicate a mountain on fire? I really enjoyed this read.
Kit Garrido owns her own trucking business and was minding
her own business when she picks up a hitchhiker, unbeknownst to her she picked
up more than just a hitchhiker. There’s a crash. There’s a stronger knocking on
her window. There’s an unexpected surprise in the back of her cab, and there is
Mount Ember erupting all around them.
Little did she know what was in store for her.
The handsome stranger Cullen. She surely wasn’t expecting
him. I liked the character of Cullen. He comes across as a strong fellow, one
who is determined to help others which is the main reason he returned to the
town Mount Ember was set on destroying.
Wait until you read about the surprise in the back of the
truck’s cab.
There are also a couple of bad guys in this tale, not caring
about Mount Ember and her temper.
What I really liked about this story is that it took me back
to my own recollections of when Mt. St. Helens erupted during my childhood. At
the time, I didn’t think much of the destruction that took place around that
area. I was too young to give it much thought. So, to read this tale of Mount
Ember and the author’s descriptions of the utter destruction, the telling of
the trees, rocks, dirt, and whatever other debris cascading down a mountain to
take out anything in its path really painted a picture in my own mind of what
things were like. To read about Kit and Cullen’s escape maneuvers was also
quite interesting, what they did to survive, how they clung to each other and
their faith. I liked that this was a true story showing and not telling what
was happening all around Mount Ember and her temper.
