Sabotage on a family ranch…
Newfoundland Ella and her Alaska State Trooper partner is on the case.
When her estranged uncle attempts to sabotage her family’s reindeer ranch, K-9 team assistant Katie Kapowski heads home to help save it—and becomes his target. With their rocky past, Alaska State Trooper Brayden Ford and his furry partner are the last team Katie wants assigned to protect her. But with the ranch under siege, they must work together…or risk falling victim to a killer.

My Thoughts:
Talk about deep seeded family issues. Katie's estranged uncle is out to get her and her aunt, his sister, even murder them if it will get him what he wants. He was a very evil man and one that had no qualms about hurting anyone, even law enforcement, if they got in his way.
Katie's Aunt Addie, who raised her after her parent's deaths, owns a reindeer farm in Alaska. I am pretty sure this is my first book about reindeers and they do make for an interesting animal/pets. This book also features some pretty special dogs on the K-9 unit. Ella and her handler, Brayden are assigned to help and protect Katie and her Aunt. Only problem is due to past circumstances (not romantic) Brayden and Katie feel a bit uncomfortable around one another. However, when the danger becomes too much, these two have a chance to prove they can be much more than a team. I was fast flipping pages.
I enjoyed this intense suspense from author Mentink. I did not realize this was part of a series, so there are a few other cases mentioned. It does well as a stand alone though.
I received a copy of this novel from the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

More from Dana
Up on the housetop, click, click, click, down through the chimney with good St. Nick. Does anyone know that line from the famous Christmas song? I’ve been singing it for years but only recently did I learn that the clicking is a real reindeer phenomenon. Those reindeer ankle joints make a clicking sound so they can find the rest of their herd if they are separated in a blizzard. It’s just one of the many things I learned about reindeer while researching to write Yukon Justice. In the novel, Katy has to take over running her aunt’s reindeer ranch and protect it from threats by a dangerous intruder. I had the pleasure of “Zoom” interviewing the owner of the Running Reindeer Ranch in Fairbanks, Alaska! Jane helped me learn all kinds of interesting things about reindeer. How much do you know about these critters? Take my quick three question trivia quiz to test your knowledge!
- What’s the difference between caribou and reindeer? They are the same animal but caribou are the wild variety and the domesticated version are called reindeer.
- Do males or females grow antlers? Both! Reindeer are a type of deer and the only species where the female grows antlers as well as the males.
- How come kids put out carrots for Santa’s reindeer? Good question! Carrots are not, in fact, part of a natural healthy reindeer diet. The animals don’t even have front teeth! A much better treat would be willow or birch leaves, or their favorite food…lichen, which they find by scraping the snow away from the ground with their hooves.
So how did you do? If you want to know more about these amazing creatures, snag yourself a copy of Yukon Justice!
