"Turbulence"
A Kennedy Stern Christian Suspense Novel 
by Alana Terry
 
 
 
Description
Facing doubts and terror at forty thousand feet. It's been another grueling semester at Harvard, and Kennedy can hardly wait to take a break from her premed studies for some much-needed rest and relaxation at her roommate's homestead in rural Alaska.Unfortunately, Kennedy's great arctic adventure might come to a crashing halt before it even begins.

Note: Turbulence is book 5 in the Kennedy Stern Christian suspense series, but it's a great introduction to the characters and can be read as a standalone. 
 
 
 
 
 
Biography
 
Alana is a pastor's wife, homeschooling mom, self-diagnosed chicken lady, and Christian suspense author.

Alana's passion for social justice, human rights, and religious freedom shines through her writing, and her books are known for raising tough questions without preaching. She and her family live in rural Alaska where the northern lights in the winter and midnight sun in the summer make hauling water, surviving the annual mosquito apocalypse, and cleaning goat stalls in negative forty degrees worth every second.  
 
 
 
My thoughts ~
 
I've been following the Kennedy Stern series since the first novel released, and each book has been unique and stands on its own merits. Topics vary and Kennedy matures. I love her character and strength in adversity. I found Turbulence to be jaw clenching! Kennedy is flying to Alaska to spend the Christmas holidays with her college friend and family. This is an opportunity of a lifetime.

Kennedy is looking forward to a relaxing flight, with lots of time to read and nap. Her friend, Willow, has made a new friend with whom she's occupied, so Kennedy relaxes and attempts to enjoy the flight. The pace takes off and the suspense is riveting! Kennedy's faith is strong, but she worries about her friend who doesn't share her faith. Kennedy fears that she may not have the opportunity to share her beliefs with Willow. 
 
I think that Turbulence is probably the most exciting and nail biting book in the Kennedy Stern series. I was captivated! This series is not only great for adult readers, but I think that older teens would thoroughly enjoy this suspense series with a component of salvation. I'm hoping there will be a followup to this novel. I look forward to new releases in this series!
