Adirondacks Artemis
By D.L. Luke
Genre: Young Adult
Author D.L. Luke vividly portrays the intriguing tale of one of life’s greatest fears-being lost in the wilderness. In Adirondacks, Artemis faces not only her present fears but fears for the future with only her dog and past experiences to guide her through her lonely introspection, her strengths, and weaknesses. Artemis and her dog are left deserted and alone with winter approaching, in the Adirondacks, with only a prayer and a hope for survival. Real and imaginary fears cloud Artemis’s judgment, but not her desire to reach the county road and safety.

My Review
I chose to read this book after receiving a free e-copy. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.
When Artemis wakes up in the wilderness and realizes that her boyfriend left her in the middle of the night, she’s not as surprised as I would be but she’s scared and determined to find her way out.
Adirondacks Artemis is full of introspection, philosophy, fear, survival, and vivid descriptions of the wilderness. The end is interesting because the story just seems to stop but the reader knows what will happen next. Unfortunately, I did a lot of skipping in this book. There was a little too much introspection and not enough action for my taste.
