Reading Response #2 "Don't Turn Around"

     This book continues to surprise me. I love how easy it is to follow, and yet so much is going on.
Noa escapes from the warehouse that the guarded men kept her. It was almost impossible for her and it filled her body with pain due to her new scabbed cut in the middle of her chest. It makes her body cringe. But this was the only way to get out and that was to run.
She finds herself in danger trapped in a boat yard. She is quiet as she hides away in a boat and finds her way inside. But then they return. So all she can do is be quiet and hope they don't come looking in the boat she is placed in.

     The men decide to move on and she sets a boat on fire to conquer her goal of escaping to go home. All goes well as the fire department shows up. She climbs aboard, but sadly she can't trust anyone so she retreats to the top of the truck and waits until she can jump off, little did she know there was a camera above her watching her the whole time.
     Later that evening she finds herself tangled up in not only some crazy drama with peter, and old fisherman's suit to beat the cold.
Peter is lost and has no idea on were to begin with the intrusion that occurred. So he asks for help from the "Alliance" ( a group of experienced hackers). And thankfully Noa reply's to his offer but for  price. He willingly gives her the "price" and the set out to find and take down the men who stole peters lap top, and destroyed his sense of security. To fight the feeling Noa and peter decide to meet at the Back Bay Station... And they set up a plan on their next move. Sadly Peter is having trouble believing Noa. So hopefully she doesn't just take the "price" and go...
           "They were standing in front of the station now, facing the parking lot. Peter couldn't shake the feeling that she was trying to get rid of him as quickly as possible, and he suddenly got nervous, How could he be sure she wouldn't screw him over" Said by peter in 'Don't turn around"

I cant wait to read more of this book. I get so excited when I am given the chance to read my book. It honestly reminds me of how often I have to move around. I never felt safe and I always felt like I was going to get taken away. And that fear of being taken away, now that I am happy, still haunts me because I love the home I am in now. I wish the best for Noa and Peter because I know how it feels to have no one you can trust and the only person you can rely on is the person you are currently speaking to. Peter and Noa have each other just like I have Justin.
    
     Does Noa get the chance to return home?
     Will peter find those who are after him?
     Does Peter find out why Noa is acting so strange?

The picture of the locks resemble the hackers trying to break through the codes to unlock what happened to Peter and Noa.
And the Two shaking hands are to show that Noa and peter have to trust each other in order to find what they are looking for.

  1. The beginning sounds a lot like the plot of District 9, if you've ever seen that movie. Intense stuff
