My Thoughts:

Sometimes I wonder how much more intense a book is going to get, and this is one of the more intense ones I have read in a while. Mara has been on the run for months. She has been framed for murder and the murderer has threatened her and her family if she goes for help. It seems no one really believes her anyway. Let me tell you, the first chapter was one of the creepiest I have read in a while. I almost jumped at a certain scene. The bad guys did not give up in their pursuit of Mara.

Officer Tanner Ford and his dog Britta have been looking for Mara. They get there just in time. However, it is not just the killers that is a danger to Mara and now Tanner too, oh no. The weather and nature itself have set up some of its deadliest traps. Up in Alaska they face such things as blizzards and extreme cold all while on the run.

Tanner and Mara and Britta have a lot going on. I knew this story had to work out for them, but it was incredibly intense. So, grab something warm to drink and an extra blanket or two as this book can get really chilly.

I was provided 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

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!
