Moonstone Hero

While hiking up Mount Kilimanjaro, one of the hikers (Barry) becomes severely ill. Andrew takes it upon himself to forego the hike and get Barry down the mountain and to a hospital.

I really wanted to love this one, but ended up with it being just an ok read. Truthfully, I almost DNFd a couple of times. The story is supposed to be about a man who does everything he can to save someone he barely knows, but that felt more like an afterthought.

Early in the book, I could see where this was going and it's why I almost DNFd. I don't want to say what that is, because it would essentially be a spoiler. If this is on your radar, I would say read it and see where you fall after. This one just wasn't for me.

I sincerely appreciate the publisher and Books Forward for the review copy. All opinions are my own.

True rating is 2.5 rounded to 3
