Teddy Bear Chronicles: Volume I: Saved in Paris
Teddy Bear Chronicles: Volume I: Saved in Paris | Donnalyn Vojta
7 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
In this first volume of the suspense series, a young educated Chicago woman, Kelly Donovan, must escape from her luxurious home to get away from her sociopathic boyfriend, Mark Flannery, before he takes her to a woodsy cabin for a little "anniversary get-way." She must plot, lie, and pretend to be happy before she can flee her relationship and her own home, alive. Unforeseen obstacles hinder her efforts, and Kelly's family and friends, strangers to one other, must perfectly work together to help her live a life free from threat. The diverse group includes an insecure drama teacher, a brilliant pharmaceutical engineer, and an international businesswoman with a secret that comes in very handy at one critical point.This story is uniquely narrated by teddy bears, which, notwithstanding their immobility, have interesting thoughts and perspectives on the shocking events and intriguing relationships which form before their plastic eyes. These quirky bears also get a healthy dose of an entertaining blooming romance when Kelly's plight takes everyone overseas to Paris. While in France, more scheming, racing to stay steps ahead of Mark, and even physical violence ensue - violence which does not always involve a damsel in distress. Once the plot's feverish pace decelerates, the group starts to feel some hope, but is the race really over? The genre-mixing mind-bending narration style makes this novel a sensational ride. before his little plastic eyes, you know you are reading new, exciting, and off-beat fiction! This is not a children's book!

I actually thought that the teddy bears would play a part in a toy story sort of way. I was intrigued by the story right away when it became clear who the narrators was. The story is about two sisters whom both suffer emiotianl and mental abuse at the hands of authoritative figure. The story follows how the result of escaping that situation puts both sisters in much deeper waters.

Compelling, fast paced and with a whole new concept: the story is told through the eyes of teddy bears. Despite the title, this is NOT a book for children. Involves romance, stalking and murder. Highly developed and structured. Amazingly well written!

Yesterday I was looking at the calendar and saw it was the 1st of August, and I realized I already have 2 books to put in my wrap up at the end of the month. Never happened before.
