New Book Info!!! Untraceable by S.R. Johannes

I must begin this post with an apology - I was planning to have this book birthday post published on the actual book birthday, but I dropped the ball and didn't get it done.  Shelli, I am so sorry to have let you down.
So.... now......
It's new ~ it's exciting ~ you have to check this out!!!
Untraceable: The Nature of Grace - Book 1 by S.R. Johannes

Amazon Product Description:
Grace has lived in the Smokies all her life, patrolling with her forest ranger father who taught her about wildlife, tracking, and wilderness survival. When her dad goes missing on a routine patrol, Grace refuses to believe he’s dead and fights the town authorities, tribal officials, and nature to find him. One day, while out tracking clues, Grace is rescued from danger by Mo, a hot guy with an intoxicating accent and a secret. As her feelings between him and her ex-boyfriend get muddled, Grace travels deep into the wilderness to escape and find her father. Along the way, Grace learns terrible secrets that sever relationships and lives. Soon she’s enmeshed in a web of conspiracy, deception, and murder. And it’s going to take a lot more than a compass and a motorcycle (named Lucifer) for this kick-butting heroine to save everything she loves.
Here is what Kimberly Derting (author of The Body Finder) has to say about it:
"Grace is a spunky, independent, nature girl who doesn't need a boy to save her. With wilderness survival, a juicy love triangle, and more twists and turns than a roller coaster, this fast-paced novel had me holding my breath until the very last page - and still begging for more!"
Kirkus Reviews says:
This thrilling story is a dramatic entanglement of mystery, deception and teen romance, The action flows like a brisk mountain stream interspersed with rapids, holding suspense to the last page."
This is what S.R. Johannes tells us:
The book is a contemporary wilderness thriller with a strong girl main character.
16 year old Grace was reared in the wilderness. Her first pet was a bear named Simon. Her first potty, an Oak tree. And, her first swing, a forest vine. Grace has lived in the Smokies her whole life, patrolling with her forest ranger father who taught her everything he knew about wildlife, tracking, and wilderness survival. But when Grace's dad goes missing on a routine patrol, unlike everyone in her sleepy mountain town, she refuses to believe he's dead. When a Cheetos bag and stolen government file materialize, Grace is convinced she's one step closer to proving all the non-believers wrong.
Then one day while out tracking clues, Grace is rescued from imminent danger by Mo, a hot guy with an intoxicating accent, that's definitely not from her neck of the woods, and a secret. Grace has never felt a connection like this before, certainly not with her ex-boyfriend, the adoring, but decidedly unrugged Wyn.
Now with renewed confidence, Grace travels deeper into the wilderness that has always been her refuge only to learn that her father's disappearance is not a mere coincidence. Soon she's enmeshed in a web of conspiracy, deception, and murder. And it's going to take a lot more than a compass and a motorcycle (named Lucifer) for this kickass heroine to emerge from an epidemic that's spreading like wild fire, threatening everything and everyone she's ever loved.
