Out of Breath by Blair Richmond


"Nineteen-year-old Kat Jones has been a competitive runner since she was a young girl, but after her mother's death, the path her life was supposed to take begins to crumble around her -- until one day, she finds herself on the run in a literal sense, this time in a race for her very life... Kat's journey takes her to the Pacific Northwest town of Lithia, the place of her last good memories, of the days when her mother was still alive. But soon after her arrival, strange things begin to happen in Lithia -- and when one of her new friends disappears under mysterious circumstances, Kat begins to realize that Lithia's inhabitants are not all of this world. Worst of all, she is falling in love with one of these otherworldly locals, and the friend who hopes to save her has secrets of his own... As Kat tries to rebuild her life, she is also training for a race that will turn out to be her biggest challenge yet, as she must outrun not only the demons of her past but the demons of the here and now, who threaten her very existence and that of the entire town... At once a paranormal love story and an environmental allegory, Out of Breath offers an exciting new voice in young adult fiction." (Description by Author on Amazon)

Lets Talk About It:

I really enjoyed reading Out of Breath. From the very first page you get hooked into this book. This story of Kat, a runner, who is running from her past by returning to her hometown. With no money to feed or shelter herself you are instantly pulling for Kat.. wanting to help her. Much like those in the town of Lithia who do reach out to her and take her in without questions.

I read this book in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. I wanted to know what was going to happen and was oddly pulled into this book even though the actual story was one more of life than anything else. Day to day events, that is until murder hits a little too close to home.

This is a book to add to your collection. A unique paranormal twist added into a spectacular story of an odd town with good hearted people.
