Alone in the Wild by Kelley Armstrong

Alone in the Wild (Rockton, #5)

by Kelley Armstrong

In #1 New York Times bestseller Kelley Armstrong's latest thriller, the hidden town of Rockton is about to face a challenge none of them saw coming: a baby.

Every season in Rockton seems to bring a new challenge. At least that's what Detective Casey Duncan has felt since she decided to call this place home. Between all the secretive residents, the sometimes-hostile settlers outside, and the surrounding wilderness, there's always something to worry about.

While on a much needed camping vacation with her boyfriend, Sheriff Eric Dalton, Casey hears a baby crying in the woods. The sound leads them to a tragic scene: a woman buried under the snow, murdered, a baby still alive in her arms.

A town that doesn't let anyone in under the age of eighteen, Rockton must take care of its youngest resident yet while solving another murder and finding out where the baby came from--and whether she's better off where she is.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong again delivers an engaging, tense thriller set in perhaps the most interesting town in all of contemporary crime fiction.

Not my favourite of the series, I'm not a baby person so I don't really related to any of those feelings. I was glad that adding a baby to the story didn't ruin it and I'm very thankful for that. I'm excited we're finally learning more about the hostiles and the others living in that area and I can't wait to see where the story goes next now that we have all this new info!
