Solstice is a fast paced and entertaining novella. As Dana leaves the security of the hospital after having some mental health issues, she is on her way to visit her sister, when her companion disappears. The question becomes: was he ever really there? Dana's reunion with Zoe doesn't go quite as planned and as the tension mounts, the story unfolds into fast paced thriller. The characters are interesting. The story was well written and had a couple of unexpected twists.I liked the inclusion of relationships between people and animals, which occurred in more than one instance. Overall, I enjoyed the book. (Note: Though it wasn't specifically mentioned, I am absolutely certain that Alice was in the backseat, at the point when Mary Anne and the furry baby were waiting for Dana, but you'll have to read Solstice and form your own opinion.)
