More from Dana

What a challenge to write the eighth book in this fabulous Pacific Northwest K-9 Unit series! Writing a continuity (linked books with an overarching mystery) with seven other authors requires us to work closely together which is a rare blessing in this solitary business. There were so many good conversations, emails and texts that went into the construction of this series. Since wilderness escape novels are my favorite, it was great fun to write Tanner, Mara and Boxer Britta’s dramatic survival story. I hope you enjoy the book and the entire series as much as we enjoyed putting it together for you!

MY REVIEW

Chilling, danger, thriller, and murder makes this story one you can’t put down. Mara is facing a life on the run if she can’t prove her innocence. Clever clues are left at a crime scene to implicate her, but she is determined to prove her innocence. Stuck in icy conditions Mara is starting to lose hope that anyone will come  to her aide. The real killer is close on her trail and I could feel her desperation to escape from this nightmare. 

Tanner is a trained officer with a K-9 named Britta. I love stories with K-9s because their intelligence is impressive. Britta is trained in tracking and trailing which makes this the  perfect partner for Tanner.  He is close to the cabin where Mara is hiding when bullets start flying. Now he and his partner are facing  a life and death situation as they try to complete their mission. 

Stuck in a snow storm Tanner and  Mara find ways to stay just one step ahead of Eli. Their shelter doesn’t last for long and now they face danger from the storm and the man hunting them down. The author kept me on the edge of my seat as I followed their journey. As they find shelter they start to share how they each have trouble with trust. Oh how I know that struggle so well. It is hard to give your heart to someone for fear they will crush it. 

With an explosive ending the author gives us an adrenaline rush as Mara and  Tanner face off against the killer. I loved how much action was in the story. The author includes a thread of faith throughout the story that directs us to forgiveness and  letting  God direct our path. 

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