Review: Salvaged

SalvagedSalvaged by Stefne Miller

Summary: ‘My body was being torn apart, and my stomach felt as if it exploded. The pain was excruciating, and I was aware that I was dying… ‘Mom?’ My vision was murky, but I could see her face. It was bloody, and her eyes were large and full of fear. Her voice calmed. ‘Get out of the car, Attie.’ Her words sounded crisp and clear. I looked into the backseat in search of Melody and found her lying covered in blood in a twisted heap on the floor. I turned my attention back to my mother and out of the corner of my eye saw fire. ‘Get out, Attie!’ ‘Mom?’ Everything went dark.’ Attie Reed should have died in the wreck that stole the lives of her mother and best friend. But her life was spared. Why? When Attie moves to Oklahoma to stay with the Bennetts for the summer, she hopes she has left her nightmares behind. But her battle is far from over, and Riley Bennett steps forward to help her fight the nighttime monsters. As the battle wears on, Riley begins fighting monsters of his own: his feelings for Attie. And Attie realizes she must begin to face the monsters of the night herself if she wants to conquer them for good. Can Attie’s life be Salvaged?

My Thoughts: When I signed up to participate in the tour for this book, I had no idea it was Christian YA. It’s so nice to see teens who aren’t sex-crazed, who face temptation but don’t let it get the better of them. There’s not enough of that.

Anyway, as for this book. It was sweet. A sweet love story. It didn’t have me riveted. I wasn’t thanking God I took a chance on this one, but I wasn’t sorry I read it. I did enjoy it, just wasn’t hooked. Will I read it again? Probably not, but I’ll be happy to if my kids decide to give it a read. (I like to be up on what they’re feeding their minds/souls with.) This was a cute, sweet, enjoyable read.

My Rating: 3 of 5 stars
