Survive the A Tale of Unyielding Spirit

When Jill Harper decides to navigate the serene yet untamed Appalachian Mountains, she envisions a tranquil drive home from college for her spring break. The journey she's made countless times before takes a harrowing detour, thrusting her into an unforeseen survival ordeal.

Amidst the dense canopy and winding trails, Jill's courage is tested beyond her wildest imagination when roadblocks force her to venture into the heart of the mountains. Her car's breakdown leaves her truly stranded, alone in the vast expanse of wilderness. As dusk falls, she stumbles upon an abandoned cabin–a sanctuary shrouded in mystery. Within this eerie refuge, Jill discovers remnants of a dangerous criminal operation, marking the beginning of a relentless hunt.



With the discovery of hidden cash and a metal box containing dark secrets, Jill unknowingly steps into the midst of a sinister plot. Her every move is shadowed by unseen predators with deadly intent. Gripping the perilous evidence, grit transforms the outgoing college girl into a fierce survivor.



Jill's struggle for survival intensifies as she evades ruthless captors with every cunning step. Her desperate journey through the heart-stopping terrain is further complicated by the ever-growing risk of nature's wrath. Along the way, unexpected alliances force her to grapple with whom she can trust and who aims to lead her deeper into the treacherous web.



Unyielding determination drives Jill amidst gunshots, perilous traps, and a relentless storm. The waves of danger amplify as legal authorities–the only possible glimmer of hope–hunt to end the terror homicide before it outmaneuvers them. Jill's encounters with courageous state police officers and deceitful criminals weave a gripping narrative where every escape narrows impossibly to the edge of survival.



Beyond the merciless wilderness and the ambit of human depravity, her trials unveil a journey of growth, spirit, and willpower. Can Jill outwit the darkness that chases her and emerge to expose the truth, reclaiming her life and freedom? Or will she fall prey to the sinister forces bent on burying their sinister deeds forever?

Mountain A Tale of Survival and Escape is a heart-pounding saga of persistence against nature and human adversaries. It's a compelling adventure that promises to keep you riveted to your seat, depicting a woman's fierce fight against insurmountable odds for survival.

JJ Brunette (Jason Brunette) is a new author to me. I read Mountain Captive in less than a day. The storyline is great and I love his writing. I was immediately captivated from the beginning. I could easily portray the main character’s point-of-view in my own head. The writing made the story very vivid. Being able to do that, I knew the book was going to be great. Thank you so much for the opportunity to read your thriller! Highly recommend this book!
