Sabotaged by Dani Pettrey A REVIEW


Finally Returned Home, Reef McKeena
Finds His Beloved Alaska Facing Its Greatest Threat

Growing up, goody-two-shoes Kirra Jacobs and troublemaker Reef McKenna were always at odds. Now, working together as search-and-rescue for Alaska's arduous Iditarod race, a growing attraction seems to be forcing aside old arguments. Then Reef catches Kirra sneaking from camp in the middle of the night.

Kirra's uncle, a musher in the race, has disappeared. Kirra and Reef quickly track the man, but what they discover is harrowing: Frank's daughter has been kidnapped. Kirra and Reef, along with the entire McKenna family, are thrown into a race to stop a shadowy villain who is not only threatening a girl's life--but appears willing to unleash one of the largest disasters Alaska has ever seen.

MY REVIEW
   DanI Pettrey is one of my favorite authors. She really knows how to write a suspenseful love story.  I have tried to read all of her Alaskan Courage stories and have loved them all. Sabotaged is book five in this series and what a wonderful, exciting ride it will take you on.  It is so suspenseful that you won’t want to put it down.
   Kirra and Reef have known each other all of their lives, but haven’t gotten along until they find themselves working together and also Reef has changed. He’s not the guy out to only have a good time and he doesn’t only think of himself now.
  You will read about the Iditarod race, kidnapping and one huge disaster.  Alaska is not very forgiving if you get stranded, just like some criminals.
  Kirra and Reef are very likable characters with great strength. Highly recommended. You can also read this book as a stand alone, but you will enjoy it so much more if you read the series.

Stranded by Dani Pettrey A REVIEW

AUTHOR INTERVIEW AND BOOK GIVEAWAY COMING SOON!

ABOUT STRANDED
Darcy St. James returns to Alaska to join a journalist friend undercover on the trail of a big story. But when Darcy arrives, she finds her friend has disappeared. Troubled by the cruise ship's vague explanation, Darcy uses her cover as a travel reporter to investigate further.

The last person Gage McKenna expects to see during his summer aboard a cruise ship leading adventure excursions is Darcy. And in typical Darcy fashion, she's digging up more trouble.

He'd love to just forget her--but something won't let him. And he can't help but worry about her as they are heading into more remote regions of Alaska and eventually into foreign waters. Something sinister is going on, and the deeper they push, the more Gage fears they've only discovered the tip of the iceberg.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Dani Pettrey is a wife, homeschooling mom and author. She feels blessed to write inspirational romantic suspense because it incorporates so many things she loves-the thrill of adventure, nail-biting suspense, the deepening of one's faith and plenty of romance. She's a huge fan of dark chocolate, is always in search of the best iced mocha and her dream is to one day own a little cottage on a remote stretch of beach.

MY REVIEW
  This is the third book in the Alaskan Courage series by Dani Pettrey and I just love it. This series is full of adventure, suspense, intrigue, love and forgiveness and Stranded is another wonderful addition to this series.
   Darcy and Gage met in book two of this series Shattered and they didn’t get along, but had an attraction to each other. After book two they both went their  separate ways and tried to forget each other, but God had other plans. They were dropped into each other lives again.
  This is a neat story about being on a cruise ship, but taking side trips when the ship was docked at different ports. Gage and his family were in charge of the side trips. Darcy was on board because a friend of hers asked her to come and help find out why women disappeared off of the ship and never were found. Then Darcy’s friend disappears and the danger begins.
  I love all of the mystery and suspense of this book. It is a book that is hard to put down and you can’t wait to find out how it ends, but at the same time don’t want it to end.
  It is also full of tenderness, love and forgiveness. Really an excellent book. Highly recommended.

Shattered by Dani Pettrey * A Review

ABOUT SHATTERED
 A Thrilling New Romantic Suspense from the Genre's Newest Star

Piper McKenna couldn't be more thrilled that her prodigal brother, Reef, has returned to Yancey, Alaska, after five years. But her happiness is short-lived when Reef appears at her house covered in blood. A fellow snowboarder has been killed--but despite the evidence, Reef swears he's innocent. And Piper believes him.

Deputy Landon Grainger loves the McKennas like family, but he's also sworn to find the truth. Piper is frustrated with his need for facts over faith, but he knows those closest to you have the power to deceive you the most. With his sheriff pushing for a quick conviction, some unexpected leads complicate the investigation, and pursuing the truth may mean risking Landon's career.

With Piper waging her own search, the two head deep into Canada's rugged backcountry--and unexpected complications. Not only does their long friendship seem to be turning into something more, but this dangerous case is becoming deadlier with each step.

MY REVIEW
  I enjoyed reading Shattered by DanI Pettrey. It is book two in the Alaskan Courage series. The characters, places and events of this book are so well described. I enjoyed the first book in this series and will enjoy the other/others.
  I love the large McKenna family and really like Piper and Landon’s love story. It was largely the love story with the suspense and murder story as a second story.
   I really enjoy Christian books, but this one had too much Sexual content. I think Ms. Pettrey should be careful of the things she writes.
  This is a nice suspenseful book and I was very surprised at the ending and why the killer did what he did. It was a plot twister and you thought the killer was after the victim for one thing, but it turns out it was a completely different reason.
Very interesting and delightful read. Recommend it for fast, easy reading.

Submerged by Dani Pettrey * Book Review


ABOUT SUBMERGED

A sabotaged plane. Two dead deep-water divers.

One single clue.

Bailey Craig vowed never to set foot in Yancey, Alaska, again. She has a past, and a reputation--and Yancey's a town that doesn't forget. She's returned only to bury a loved one killed in the plane crash, but then dark evidence emerges and Bailey's own expertise becomes invaluable for the case.

Cole McKenna can face dangerous rescue dives. He can face the fear a murderer may be threatening his town. But facing the reality of Bailey's reappearance is a tougher challenge. She broke his heart...but doesn't seem to be the same girl who left Yancey ten years ago. And he's not the same guy she left behind.

Racing against the clock and a rising body count, Bailey and Cole must move beyond the hurts of their pasts to work together until the truth of what is hidden in the depths finally surfaces.

MY REVIEW
  Submerged the debut novel by DanI Pettrey and is one amazing book. Submerged is book one in the Alaskan Courage series.
I know you will hear many great things about this wonderful author.
  I love this book because of the suspense, romance and the depth of Christianity that is shown.
  At each turn more things happened to keep me reading and enjoying it .  The suspense kept building through the story and the climax was just super. The apprehension couldn’t have been better.
  Another thing I loved about Submerged is the love Cole and his family have for each other. Both of their parents are dead, but Cole and the others stayed together and became a stronger family.
  Bailey just couldn’t forget the past and the mistakes she made, even though she has since become a Christian and loves the Lord dearly. She thinks she’s not worthy to have friends or family. Near the end Cole tells her how much God loves her and how He died for her. It’s just a precious story and I highly recommend this book. Can’t wait until Dani Pettrey’s second book in the series comes out. It’s about the youngest sibling Piper and it sounds fantastic.
