EXCERPT
Her train of
thought stopped abruptly as she passed her sister’s room. The door was open but
there was no sign of her. Curiously, Val peered inside, the shopping bags on
the floor by the bed catching her eye. She frowned then her eyebrows rose when
she saw the hot pink iPod on the night table.
Where in the world did she get an iPod?
Before Val could stop herself, she stepped inside
the room. She ignored the flash of danger
zone in the back of her mind as she picked up the small device. Then she
looked down into the closest shopping bag and saw something black and leathery.
What...
“Val.”
She bit back a scream as she whirled around.
REVIEW by Christine
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Traffic Jam. Melissa Groeling did an amazing job with keeping the reader suspended. The story has a plot that unwinds and keeps you guessing. I really connected with Val and wanted to yell at her sister through my Kindle! The story covers high school drama, sex trafficking, and how secrets can destroy a family. The family bonds together and leaves you with a feeling that the family will heal. The book also includes a side romance with Val and her sister's friend John. Although Melissa has written this story as a stand alone... I am desperately wishing for more of Val and John!
