Not if I Save You First by Ally Carter opens as ten-year-old Logan and his best friend Maddie witness the violence that occurs with the attempted kidnapping of his mother, the First Lady. Logan is the president’s son and his best friend is the daughter of the head of the Secret Service. Maddie’s father gets shot and badly injured during the kidnapping attempt, so he decides to move to Alaska with his daughter to recover and distance themselves from the danger. Now, six years later, Logan gets sent to stay with them for his own safety. Logan has a tendency to be careless and unconcerned about what happens to him and this has exasperated his parents. Maddie is extremely angry at Logan because she wrote letters to him for years after their move to Alaska and she never received anything from him. The day Logan arrives, Maddie’s father leaves to make a quick delivery because a terrible storm is coming. While he’s away, Maddie and Logan are confronted by an abductor who wants to use Logan for leverage. Maddie is shoved down a hill, left for dead and the kidnapper forces Logan to move on. The danger compounds because of the Alaskan wilderness and lack of food, shelter and heat. I thoroughly enjoyed Not If I Save You First for several reasons- the suspense, mystery and sarcastic humor and I love the characters! 5 solid stars for a fun, action-packed adventure!

An exciting new YA book with a strong teenage girl
Ally Carter has yet again written a fantastic YA novel. With many YA authors you have to worry about swearing and graphic content, but you can rest assured that Ally Carter writes clean books that don't skimp on a great plot or interesting and relatable characters. As you get to know Maddie and Logan throughout the book, you can see why they make the choices that have led them to this point in their lives. Maddie has been taken away from the life she knew and now lives in remote Alaska with her father (who isn't around very much). She has learned to survive the weather and wild animals, but it's been hard for her...especially since she hasn't heard back from her best friend in 6 years. Logan is the son of the US President and has become rebellious so his parents will realize that he is actually alive. Logan is sent to Alaska to live with Maddie and her father (who was the head of the Secret Service), but is not prepared for the changes that have happened to his best friend. At first when they are reunited Maddie has extreme trust issues and anger with Logan. When he is abducted, Maddie makes the hard but right choice to follow after them and rescue Logan herself - even though she was attacked and barely hanging on herself. This extreme situation throws Maddie and Logan together and they have to work together and trust each other to make it out alive. As the story continues, their friendship starts to heal. There was obviously a strong friendship between them 6 years ago and seeing them get back to that is nice. I really liked the story and will definitely share it with my teen daughter who loves all the other books by Ally Carter.
