More from Dana

My life has gone to the dogs! No joke! While readers enjoy the Wolfe family humans, I hear on the regular that their favorite characters are the bloodhounds. In book #1, Wally was just an irrepressible disaster, and he continues his naughty ways throughout the series. In book #2, we met Pinkerton who is a model canine, unless squirrels enter the picture. And now, you’ll get to know Chloe who is fabulous, but I will venture to say she is going to be outshined by her mutt companion Brutus (you’ll have to read the book to discover his real name and identity!) As this book launches, I’m deep into writing the last two and there are a couple more unpredictable hounds you have yet to meet. Such fun! Thanks for galloping along with me on this series!

MY REVIEW

I love reading books from this author because they are always filled with faith, adventure and flawed characters. This story centers around two people trapped in the woods by someone who is out for revenge. The action is very good and I loved the suspense in the story.

Stephanie and Vance are both fighting for their lives as they try to outsmart the person hunting them. There is a bit of friction between the two main characters which the author uses to show how forgiveness is important. The past has a way of catching up with us and we find ourselves facing a difficult decision sometimes.

I enjoyed the dogs in the story which for me was a good addition as they help keep Stephanie and Vance safe. Their instincts are to protect and this adds another level of power to our main characters.

Don’t miss this exciting adventure where faith, trust and forgiveness are highlighted in this suspenseful thriller. Who will survive ?

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