One Breath Away
One Breath Away | Heather Gudenkauf
When the unthinkable happens, a community is rocked to its core in this heart-stopping and emotionally-charged thriller from New York Times bestselling author of The Weight of Silence, Heather Gudenkauf. In the midst of a sudden spring snowstorm, an unknown man armed with a gun walks into an elementary school classroom. Outside the school, the town of Broken Branch watches and waits. Officer Meg Barrett holds the responsibility for the town's children in her hands. Will Thwaite, reluctantly entrusted with the care of his two grandchildren by the daughter who left home years earlier, stands by helplessly and wonders if he has failed his child again. Trapped in her classroom, Evelyn Oliver watches for an opportunity to rescue the children in her care. And thirteen-year-old Augie Baker, already struggling with the aftermath of a terrible accident that has brought her to Broken Branch, will risk her own safety to protect her little brother. As tension mounts with each passing minute, the hidden fears and grudges of the small town are revealed as the people of Broken Branch race to uncover the identity of the stranger who holds their children hostage.

Very emotional read considering the Parkland School Shooting in Florida occurred only two weeks ago. At least this book had an interesting twist on what has become way too familiar in our society. I like Heather Gudenkauf‘s writing style. I can honestly say that her novels never disappoint.

One Breath Away is an intriguing story about what happens in a small midwestern town when a lone gunman enters an elementary school with one thing on his mind - revenge. I was on the edge of my seat and tearing up, very good! #LitsyAtoZ

Fast paced suspense book about a gunman in a school. The story is told through the eyes of 5 characters, which sounds confusing but somehow works. Gudenkauf paints a vivid picture of terror in a small town. My only complaint was that the ending was just a bit stretched but still a satisfying read.
