More from Dana

Bloodhounds everywhere! I was thrilled to be offered a contract to write a WHOLE SIX BOOK SERIES with these amazing creatures and their private eye humans! Bloodhounds have been described as “noses with dog’s attached.” Isn’t that quaint? I hope you will enjoy reading about Wally. He’s a young dog who did not receive the proper training and he’s a tad…well…naughty. Good thing he’s got a handler who’s equally as stubborn. It’s a battle of wills between Wally and Roman and there’s plenty of room for fun along with the suspense. Bloodhounds, take it away!

MY REVIEW 

The start sets the pace for this story. Out of the  corner of his eyes Roman sees a woman being tossed over board into the freezing water. His instincts tell him to rescue this woman but he has no idea who she is and what danger is coming. I loved how Roman is such a compassionate person. His willingness to help is a blessing.

Dumped into the freezing lake with hands and feet tied,  Emery barely gets her head above water. She fights to stay afloat even though she can’t see or move. I could sense her anxiety and how cold her body must be. When someone grabs her she starts to fight them. She has no idea it is someone  there to save her. Roman finally gets her to cooperate and trust him. 

When they both realize they know each other, thus begins secrets, twists and suspense that drives the plot to an increase of intense danger. We learn some background on Emery that explains that there is more behind what happened in the past with her sister and father. A murder that now seems suspicious and the person who did it make Roman wonder what he has gotten himself into. 

The star of this story for me was Wally. This bloodhound is comical and very determined to listen to commands when he wants. His shenanigans fill the pages with adventure and much needed laughs in this story. I loved how Roman  acts frustrated with him, but we all know that Roman loves this dog. Wally has potential if Roman has the patience. 

The author has once again delivered a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat and gives you characters that are well developed. I loved  how Roman and Emery learn to trust each other as an investigation takes them into uncharted territory. I’m thrilled to know that we have two more books in this series. 

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