The Silent Woodsman (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 1) by Cat Treadgold – Review by Jaimie Salmon-Colburn

The Silent Woodsman by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Silent Woodsman had me on my toes for quite a while! Almost the whole book I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. I kept hoping Ali would find her way back to her woodsman somehow, but man was it hopeless!! Ali was told that her brother was killed in an explosion, but she refuses to believe it. She FEELS that her twin is still alive and out there somewhere. In an attempt to get a sign from him, she goes for a hike in the rainforest. They loved to hike together, so she finds a fitting area to hike. Getting trapped in a sudden storm she seeks shelter in the only random remote cabin around. Fortunately for her JJ (Joe) isn’t an ax murderer who has people cut up in the walls! Unfortunately for them both though, JJ can’t speak due to his vocal chores healing and being under orders to completely rest his voice. Trapped together for a couple days with only paper and pen, charades, and facial expressions to communicate the two get a little closer. Ali is the main speaker, but JJ keeps his identity a secret and with much regret he never tells her who he is. She leaves back to her life after an unforgettable kiss and he slowly gets back to his own as well. He searches for her, calling every coffee shop he can, but never finds her. She dreams of him, but knows it’s hopeless with only knowing his nickname JJ. When she runs into his double she has a spark of hope, but it’s quickly dashed away. Can either of them move on? Will they forever pine for the one who got away? There are a few twists that will have you wondering how this book will end, but I don’t want to give an hints. Very up and down with the storyline that will keep you guessing. You just have to read it yourself to see how it ends though!! I can’t wait to read the 2nd book to the series soon, which is about her twin brother!!
