Wild Nights
After outrunning a crazy childhood, Hannah Spring thought she had her life together. Her job was going great, her crazy family was at a safe distance, and she was dating a man with possibilities. Then her beloved grandmother dies, and Hannah leaves her safe lair to oversee the burial. While traveling down a burnt out back road she is pulled into an inferno of events that challenge even her vivid imagination. Nothing, except perhaps her childhood, could have prepared her for the year that follows. Like her grandmother before her, she longs for a port in the storm, but it won't happen without some wild nights.

In "Wild Nights" by Mary Ellen Courtney, readers are taken on a journey of personal understanding. From the first page, I found myself totally captivated by "Wild Nights." Humor is interspersed between intense situations and vividly described scenery. I enjoyed having the opportunity to read a great fictional novel. This is definitely a novel that will be savored by the reader.

I was about 20 pages into "Wild Nights" when I realized that this could turn out to be a really outstanding book - and it just got better from there. Hannah is brash, funny and wise all at once, and her relationships with her friends are a hoot. The family scenes also play true to life. While the timeline of "Wild Nights' is about a year, Hannah's life is eventful, and the reader is brought along. The descriptions of places will have any reader lazily drifting on warm, Hawaiian waves, and walking the crowded, dusty streets of India. I spent all day yesterday wrapped up in "Wild Nights" and reluctantly finished the last page late last night with the characters peopling this work still alive and fresh in my mind. This is an extraordinary work.

A charming story. I don't often find a real page-turner but this book is one. Reading the book was an absolute joy. Everything that makes us human is condensed in this amazingly crafted story. It is quite distinctive and exceptionally well-flowing. Mary Ellen Courtney definitely has her own style and she is a new talent to be reckoned.
