Frost Heaves – Book Review
One of the things that I love about reading books is the places you get to visit through the books you read. I love Alana’s books because she takes you to Alaska which is home for her. This is not the first book my Alana that I have read. She is always very clear on Christian truth. So all of that is one of the reasons that I selected this book, Frost Heaves.
Before I tell you about the book, I have to say this. I kept reading the title as Frost Heavens or Frost Leaves. When I realized it was Frost Heaves, I looked up online thank you Google, What is frost heaves. I learned it is the uplight of soil or other surface deposits due to the expansion of groundwater on freezing. I don’t live in a place that gets that cold so I don’t think I knew what frost heaves. That is something new I learned when reading this book.
I would love to sit and have coffee with Jade. I want to hear more of her story. It doesn’t take long in the book to know that she loves the Lord. I love that about the books that Alana Terry writes. There is no question her characters love God.
Jade has a past and now she is trying to live now. When her past collides with the present, Jade has some difficult decisions. Will she trust someone who or try to fight this on her own?
This was a great book. I don’t think I have been disappointed with any of Alana Terry’s books.

About the Author
Alana is a pastor’s wife, homeschooling mom, self-diagnosed chicken lady, and Christian suspense author. Her novels have won awards from Women of Faith, Book Club Network, Grace Awards, Readers’ Favorite, and more. Alana’s passion for social justice, human rights, and religious freedom shines through her writing, and her books are known for raising tough questions without preaching. She and her family live in rural Alaska where the northern lights in the winter and midnight sun in the summer make hauling water, surviving the annual mosquito apocalypse, and cleaning goat stalls in negative forty degrees worth every second.
More from Alana
While my childhood was spent in the lower 48 states, my husband and I moved to Alaska and this beautiful state has now become the place I call home. Even though adjusting to rural living (we moved to a town with only 400 residents) took some getting used to, I have grown to love everything about Alaska.
In fact, I love it so much, I thought to myself, “I want to share the beauty of where we live with my readers.” And the best way I could think of to do that was to write a three-book, standalone series showcasing some of the wonderful things about Alaska living.
However, it wouldn’t be an Alana Terry series without a lot of exciting, fast-paced suspense readers have grown to love. Identity Theft, Termination Dust, and Frost Heaves are filled with action, adventure, mystery and even a little bit of romance.
Three different stories. All set in my beautiful state of Alaska. With all the action, adventure, suspense, and underlying hope that readers have come to love.
One reviewer described Frost Heaves as “… full of suspense, covered with faith and truth, and sweetened with a touch of romance.”
I wrote these books to share my love of Alaska as well as God’s love and redemption with others. And I hope you’ll turn the last page satisfied, but ready for more.
If the Alaska Refuge Christian Suspense series is your introduction to Alana Terry books, you’ve read all three in the series (in any order), and you’re ready for more action, I’d like to introduce you to Kennedy Stern. Read Unplanned, Book 1 in the 9 book series. Once you get started, I’m sure you won’t want to put it down.

Hmmm….this sounds like a good read. I’m always on the lookout for a good Christian novel. And even though I grew up in a cold climate, I didn’t know what frost heaves meant either, so thanks for sharing!
This book sounds like a really fantastic read. Awesome cover!
This was a page-turner, for sure!
