Wonderland

Silent Springs, Book 1

By: Silvia Lancaster

Narrated by: Casey Montgomery

Acceptance, love, and second chances. Who needs a rabbit hole when I’ve got three feet of snow and a kamikaze skunk?

Traveling north should have been easy. We would just follow the map and end up at our new destination—our new home in a new state, where my daughter, Lark, and I could start fresh. How does that quote go about the best laid plans?

Getting lost is where our story begins. Not only did we get lost and spin off the road, we were also stalked by a moose, and our pet skunk, Cooper, darted out, ready to tackle said moose into oblivion.

Fate, however, had different plans in the form of a flannel wearing knight named Arlo. I get the feeling this big, grumpy bear is all soft edges on the inside.

Who knew that small detour would land us right where we needed to end up?

sweet, snarky, a little mythical

This was a fun read(listen). It had major Gilmore Girls vibes with the mother/daughter bond. I love the snarky banter between Wren and Arlo. I loved the pet skunk. and the fun names of characters. I enjoyed Wren being able to learn to love after all the trauma she's been through. I love that the characters are so real and relatable I don't typically read this style of book with slight mythical elements. but I'm glad I did. it was definitely worth the read. the narrator did an awesome job bringing it to life. There were a couple places where she needed to use a southern accent, I thought she did an excellent job with that and I'm from the south surrounded by authentic southern accents.
