Comments The Alias

  • Danyelle Ferguson

    I enjoyed The Alias by Mandi Tucker Slack. It's definitely a suspense novel that sweeps you right into the action and Jacey's life. If you liked the Julia Roberts movie Sleeping with the Enemy or the book Without a Flaw by Michele Ashman Bell, then you should definitely put The Alias on your to-read list!

    A well written action/suspense/romance/adventure story. I loved the way the story unfolded and the way we got to see how Jacey made her choices. She is an abused woman who has reasons for the way she behaves and the choices she made were difficult and realistic. I didn't like (nor did she) involving her son in lying to wonderful people. I loved the secondary characters- they were real and fun. Everyone wants an Aunt and Uncle like them. I liked how she had such guilt for her lies, and how she tr [...]

    3.5I liked this one. I probably would have changed a few things, but overall I thought it was enjoyable. Jacey decides to go into hiding with her young son, Blaze (dumb name, IMO), when she fears her abusive ex-husband is going to take him away. She pretends to be her best friend Melissa and goes to stay with Melissa’s estranged family. Part of my problem with the book is that her time in Utah is only about a week. I wish she had spent more time there and it definitely would have made her rela [...]

    I'm coming to grips with the idea that not all books have to be considered classic literature to be good. There are books that are so amazing that they change your life and these are the books that I have long considered to be the ones worthy of my time. However, in doing book reviews, I am now reading more of the non-life shattering books. They may never make it to The New York Times Bestsellers, and that is perfectly o.k. As an aspiring author these books are giving me courage to get my storie [...]

    The Way I See It:The Alias by Mandy Slack was a fast paced story about a lady name Jayce Grayson who is forced to go into hiding to protect both herself and her young son from her ex-husband. As if that isn't enough, FBI agents show up at her door one day asking her about her ex-husband business dealings and her part int it. Concerned that if the FBI can find her, then her ex-husband can, she makes a desperate move to take on someone else's identity and steps into life as them in order to buy so [...]

    The Alias by Mandi Tucker Slack is an LDS romantic suspense with a twist--definitely good if you like books that keep you guessing. (And I really liked the cover art for this book. Very nice!)Jacey is approached by the FBI regarding her abusive ex-husband and his possible criminal activity. She realizes that if the FBI can track her, then her ex-husband with all of his connections can, too, and she needs to get herself and her young son as far away as possible. She takes on the identity of her r [...]

    Review originally posted on ldswbr - Blog tour review of The Alias by Mandi Tucker Slack bit/p3gzbII really like they way the cityscape and landscape from the two main locations are blended together on the front cover. It caught my eye. The story caught my attention as well, and I had no problem turning pages because I wanted to see what would happen. I believe this is the author’s debut novel, and if so, she did a great job on her first published novel.I liked the main characters and the rela [...]

    I blame Mandy Slack for my migraine today. She wrote The Alias, a book so compelling that I made myself sick reading for so long. It's not often that a book gets that kind of accolade from me. I do read constantly, but usually I can bear to put it down at least sometime. I fell asleep with The Alias awake on my Kindle last night.Jaycey's story was completely believable. Having had an ex who boasted of Mafia connections, I knew exactly where she was coming from. She put me right into the middle o [...]

    I really enjoyed this book. The characters were well developed. The story seemed to flow very well without making me feel like there were things happening just to move the story forward. I loved how though Jacey was going under a different name, I never got confused when they used the other name. The romance in this was just perfect for me. Nothing blushworthy ever, and it developed in a way I could accept without making it feel like it was forced. But it was still very sweet and romantic and I [...]

    This is an awesome story that is very well written about spouse and partner abuse. It is written quite tastefully, yet powerfully, with a hint of romance to make it all better. This is a hard subject for any woman that has been in an abusive relationship, and for those in their families who have to watch them suffer. Mandi uses all her love for country life and sprinkles it with the gospel of Jesus Christ to make this into a beautiful work. Jacey is a young woman with a nine-year-old son. After [...]

    This book grabbed my attention from the get-go and held it all the way through to the end. It was fast paced and engaging. It took me, oh, one day to finish reading this book. I really felt the emotions of Jacey, willing to do anything to protect her son from an abusive monster of a man. Her story, along with so many real life people who deal with physical and emotional abuse every day, is just heart wrenching. I can’t even imagine living like that. I admired Jacey’s courage and her determin [...]

    I have to say that I love a book that is clean. Anyone who knows me or who has read my own work knows that. Even more than that, I love a book that is clean and GOOD! And Slack's The Alias fits that bill very well. Jacey Grayson is forced to go into hiding to protect herself and her son from her violent ex-husband. She's not happy about the deception required, especially when she sees her son becoming sullen and withdrawn. But she finds a sense of safety at the ranch in rural Utah with Grant and [...]

    This was a sweet story about starting over. Jacey Grayson is escaping an abusive relationship and its fallout when she ends up in Utah hiding on a farm at the end of a dirt lane in Mona. But in order to stay hidden, she has to lie her socks off about who she is. "Uncle Grant" and "Aunt Helen" are really kind and the guilt of lying to them eats at Jacey--but not more than the fear. When John, her ex-husband, locates her, he shows up and nabs their son, Blaze, while Jacey is out buying feed for th [...]

    Jacey is a divorced mom who needs to escape her life, quickly. Her ex-Hubby, an abusive creep, has the FBI on his tail, and he also believes he deserves to have custody of their son, Blaze. Jacey assumes a "new" identity, and escapes to Utah with her son. The story was intense, with action and suspense at every turn. The abuse by the Ex-hubby were real and heart-wrenching, making it difficult to read without crying.The Alias was a great read and I enjoyed every last second of it!! First-time nov [...]

    I just really enjoyed this book. The characters were vivid and likable. I especially enjoyed Uncle Grant and Aunt Helen. They reminded me of my rancher uncles and aunts I used to visit during my summer breaks growing up. It had lots of grit without being course or unnecessarily graphic that brought an authenticity to the story. The suspense was well written and very compelling toward the end. And not to give anything away but someone was even "hogtied" which was too cool. The only negative, and [...]

    I really enjoyed this book. Well written, fast pace, great characters and a good plot. I liked the way the author tackled the subject of domestic violence and abuse. Jacey and Blaze's characters grew and developed well.This book carries a strong Christian message but this was not rammed down the reader's throat. The way this was introduced into the story made sense and the outcome was natural. I could not put the book down as I couldn't wait for the next chapter to find out what would develop. I [...]

She also feels bad for lying and pretending to be someone else as she has to have her son lie also. This was a very good book and enjoyed the ending.

    This was a quick, easy flowing read. The plot was easy and fun to follow and the characters were so down to earth and believable I felt like they could be my next door neighbors. I could've used a bit more suspense and intensity (but I'm kind of A.D.D that way). Overall a great read. To read my full review and an interview with the author, visit: stephanieworlton/

    I really wish offered half or quarter starsis is more of a 3.5 book, but just couldn't give it a 3, so 4 it is.Likeable characters and a good story line that flowed well. Enough romance to keep me interested (I have discovered that no matter how good a book is, I usually don't like it as much if it doesn't have just a little bit of romance), but that wasn't the only focus of the book. Can't decide it if is a re-read candidate or not, I just might ;)
