More from Dana

What a joy to participate in a series with seven other talented authors! A continuity series is a set of books, each written by a different author, and each with its own suspense plot along with an overarching series plot and characters. It’s a very complicated project to complete, but the fantastic part is chatting, collaborating, and sometimes commiserating with other writers. What a rare treat, since most of our work is done alone in dark rooms with computer screens and bottomless cups of coffee! This series was especially fun to write because of the whole wilderness lodge setting which is my favorite type of story. Picture it! Ancient cliff dwellings, a freak electrical storm, twenty-four hours with no power and a killer on the loose! That’s my kind of suspense novel. I hope you will enjoy this multi author series as much as we enjoyed creating it!


MY REVIEW 

This story is filled with danger and suspense that kept me from doing anything until I finished the book. With no breaks I read as fast as I could because I wanted to keep up with the investigation. I love that this series highlights K-9 dogs and how disciplined they are. The dog in this story is very well trained and has good instincts which helps Daniella in her job. The focus is on who is trying to harm a sweet little boy . What I found intriguing is that maybe there is something hidden within the lodge which is where the danger really  lies.

Daniella and her dog are on a mission to keep Sam and his son Oliver  from harm, but too many unexplained accidents keep her on her toes. Going undercover as a nanny is tricky when Daniella isn’t really comfortable around children. Her past gives us a peek into why she is guarded around  people and the decision she made a long time ago that  still causes her to reflect on what might have been. 

Sam is someone I liked right away  because he is a good father and very focused on making his son happy.  Even though they have suffered a great loss, he tries his best to show how much Oliver is loved while trying to keep Oliver’s mother’s memory alive. Sam is not ready for a relationship he thinks but maybe God has opened a door where healing is for him and Daniella. I love how the author brought these two main characters together with fractured lives to help each other out. Sometimes we feel alone but God is always  there to comfort us. He sometimes brings someone into our lives to help us in our time of sorrow and pain. 

The author does an amazing job of leaving hints for readers but I still couldn’t figure out who was behind the danger. What I like about this author’s writing is that she writes a suspenseful story that gives you just enough to try to piece together the crime but doesn’t give it away so easily. Her style is unique by very focused with characters that you cheer for and have compassion for. The faith thread in the  story is well placed and once again I’m impressed with a story that checks all the boxes for readers who love suspense, faith and a hint of romance. 

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
