My Review
Will the bad guys or the terrain get them first?
I discovered Kellie VanHorn when her first Love Inspired Suspense novel came out and I've been an eager reader since. Hunted In The Wilderness is her third book but it is definitely not her least.
I absolutely loved the switch in this book as the girl is the pilot and not the hero. It was a fun and refreshing change, not to mention it amped up the tension in the first part of the story.
One of the most fun things about Kellie VanHorn's Love Inspired Suspense novels is the chance to explore fascinating and diverse landscapes - this time around it's North Cascades National Park in Washington State - all through the lens of some nail-biting suspense, of course.
Hunted In The Wilderness was a good read. The contrast between the vivid landscape with its unforgiving terrain and the danger from man was a winning combination that is pretty much guaranteed to keep any Love Inspired Suspense fan on the edge of their seat. And if you are new to Kellie VanHorn's fiction you will be a fan after reading Hunted In The Wilderness...
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Hunted In The Wilderness by Kellie VanHorn a 4 Bark rating.

More from Kellie
One of my favorite things about being a writer is living out wild adventures in my imagination. I get to enjoy all the action and feels without any of the unpleasant real-life problems I’d face if I were actually being chased by bad guys with guns. The more exciting and far-off the setting, the better! My family loves to travel and to camp, so we’ve spent a lot of time visiting national parks around the U.S. Our favorites include Grand Teton, Rocky Mountain, Devil’s Tower, and Badlands. We pile our four kids into the car, fill it to the brim with gear, and tent our way from park to park for weeks at a time in the summer.
| For Hunted in the Wilderness, I wanted to explore a park we haven’t had the chance to visit yet—North Cascades National Park in Washington state. In fact, my first glimpse of the story came to me when I was scrolling through my Facebook feed and saw a picture of a lake in the Cascades. Inspiration struck, and I knew the heroine of my next book had just crash-landed her Cessna airplane in those mountains, and she needed a handsome, single park ranger to come help her escape the bad guys. |  |
What makes this park such a perfect setting for a romantic suspense is not only the gorgeous scenery, but also the fact it’s very remote. The region is easy enough to access via road from Seattle, but most of the protected land can only be reached on foot, horseback, or float plane. Because I hadn’t been there myself, I relied on a topographic map and lots of research to help me craft the setting and make it an indispensable part of the plot.
Of course, now that I’ve studied the trail systems so extensively, I’d love to visit the Cascades in person one day. One of my teenaged sons who loves hiking has all sorts of plans for us to take a long backpacking trip out there, even though neither of us has ever backpacked before. I might have to work up my courage a bit before I’ll be ready to hit the trail without our minivan full of gear.
