The Trope: The Home Invasion

I love vacation-themed stories when I’m on vacation. I read this one while camping, and it kept me up at night. Nevada Barr does a brilliant job twisting the home invasion trope into a wilderness survival story. Her protagonist, a park ranger, goes on a canoe trip with a group of friends. Their vacation is waylaid by men bent on murder and mayhem.

Nothing is scarier than having your happy place invaded by evil, and nothing more inspiring than watching the underdog use her superior knowledge of the surroundings to defeat it.
