Target in Sight

 Target in Sight

Reviewed by Helen


What happens when you witness a murder, when young single Mum Aliese Coleson knows that her priority is to do everything she can to protect her five year old son Jonathon, after all her and Jonathon have been through she is determined to not let anything more happen.

Aliese and Jonathon run from their home in Adelaide and make their way to a remote cabin in the wilds of Tasmania she has bought enough provisions to last six months, it is cold and wet, when a small plane goes down in a storm Aliese must decide what to do with the pilot who is injured, can she trust him. He remains unconscious for a few days she has done the best she can with his injuries and when he finally wakes he has no memory of who he is, so for a few days the three get on very well, Jonathon is drawn to him and is making friends and Aliese is feeling a pull towards this stranger but when his memory returns Aliese must again change her plans not only are there killers after her but it appears that this man Kellen Reid also wants her and led the killers to her door.

Aliese is forced to make another run this time with Kellen as well and now there is a dangerous race through the wilds of Tasmania as the trio do their best to avoid bullets and stay alive, will they make it, will Kellen prove to police what happened and will the man behind it all get what is coming to him in the end?

This is a fast paced and action packed story, with wonderful characters, Jonathon was so good and the settings is fabulous, it kept me turning the pages to find out what happened and it is one that I would highly recommend.
