Hi Shannon, it looks like Left to Die is the quintessential suspense novel. As you mention, it even alternates viewpoints between the protagonists and the antagonist, which is typical of the genre (Saricks, 2016). I appreciated that you clearly identified the three appeal terms that best represent this book. It is also helpful that you provided justification for the read-a-likes you chose by citing the appeal terms the books shared.

Not only is your annotation really well written, it's beautiful. I love the format! Great job on the appeals and readalikes! Full points!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the format you chose for this annotation, and the descriptions that accompany the read-alikes. Saricks does talk about characterization not always being as strong a feature in this genre but I do appreciate two women with different personalities and personal histories coming at a suspenseful plot; that would seem to be one more unusual aspect of this book. I'm familiar with Montana from Westerns, too, but not suspense! This is an interesting pick. Thanks!
