Book Review: ‘Lost Hours: An Alaska Wild Novel’ By Paige Shelton

Beth Rogers has been in Benedict, Alaska for a year now, and is finally feeling settled. She has close friends, her father has been in town, and they’re slowly working on their relationship, and the man that kidnapped her is in jail awaiting trial. On this summer day, Beth, along with Tex, board a boat to check out the glaciers. Instead, they find a woman, Sadie, on one of the islands, bloody and a mess, she claims she was kidnapped, and a bear killed the man who did it. She opens up to Beth about she claims happened to her, and it opens up a whole can of worms. Then a young girl goes missing while out fishing with Beth and her father, and it may be tied into what happened to Sadie, they both have in common the island, and Sadie slowly puts the pieces together, and figures out just what is going on. She also gets shocking news, and the book ends on a great cliffhanger, which will set up the next book. This is the fifth novel in the series, and it’s another winner. I really like these novels, the quirky characters, and the remote settings. Fans of this series will be happy with this one.
