North of Here by
Laurel Saville is the story of four people and how their lives become
intertwined. How a simple decision can lead to tragedy and heartache.
The story opens with Miranda and Dix. Miranda is the
surviving child of her wealthy parents until her father’s sudden death and her
mother’s failing health leaves her with nowhere to go. Until Dix, a friend of
the family, offers her a place to stay. The story shifts to Darius and Sally.
Darius is a college dropout who has been wandering around looking for his place
in the world. He soon meets Sally, a no-nonsense social worker who works with
the families of broken homes and juvenile delinquents. Soon Darius starts
bringing girls who are troubled. Then Darius meets Miranda and soon Miranda is
seduced by the sanctuary that Darius has built, a cult he calls “The Source.”
Soon tragedy strikes which brings Dix to meet Sally and the two must fight
together to bring down Darius and his “Source.” Can they stop him before he
hurts anyone else?
I read this book with interest not really knowing what the
story was about. As I read, the writer was introducing the characters, I had to
wonder where it was all leading to and then it happened. The climax the tragedy
and its aftermath which kept me glued to the pages as I was eager to learn the
outcome. What happens to Darius and his “Source?” What happens to Miranda? As
with any good book, I cannot give any details without giving away key plot
points. However, I will say that this story had me interested from the first
page, what I thought would be a romantic story of two people after a tragedy
turned out to be far more interesting and dramatic. I was able to read this
book in one afternoon as I could not put it down. I highly recommend North of Here for a new and interesting
type of story.
