Between Wild and Ruin by Jennifer G. Edelson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 CRANKY STARS


This is a well written story that is a little different. At first, I thought it would be reminiscent of the “Outlander” novels, but it really isn’t. The storyline is set in today’s New Mexico which is the perfect setting for things otherworldly. Our characters are completely understandable and sympathetic. Thus, my 5-star review. I couldn’t put it down once I got started.


Our heroine, Ruby, has moved to La Luna, New Mexico with her Aunt Liddy. Of course, she is a senior in high school and not too happy to be in the middle of no where for her senior year. The first person she meets is a rude young man with a scarred face and a huge chip on his shoulder. His name is Ezra and he is a local descended from a long line of native Indians. Of course, because of his face, he doesn’t trust anyone in town. But Ruby is good hearted and only sees good in people, so she tries to befriend him and show him that looks aren’t everything. To complicate things, Ruby likes to hike in the mountains where she meets a mysterious handsome young man named Leo.


This is where the folklore of the area and the superstitions come into effect. Strange things happen in the town and when the assistant sheriff falls for Ruby, it becomes even more dangerous for her. Who will she choose, and will she solve the mystery of the ruin? You’ll have to read the book to get the answers
