My Thoughts

I really enjoyed this entire series, and highly recommend it.

This fourth installment leads with Willow, the sister of Austin and Levi, characters from the previous books in the series. It was fun and refreshing to get a female lead this time around.

As always, Dana’s pacing is superb, and this book is no exception. We begin with a fast paced action scene, an attempted kidnapping gone completely wrong, and from there it’s nothing but edge-of-your-seat, read-until-you-can’t-keep-your-eyes-open fun.

If you like romance, suspense, and action, with a little faith added in, you’ll love this entire series. Highly recommended.

More from Dana

Wooty woo! We’re back in Death Valley again! So excited about this fourth book in the series because Papa Bear and I have actually returned to this amazing place. (Our previous return trip was stalled for a while due to the virus that shall not be named!) People have asked me, “Why do you love Death Valley so much?” I can only respond that you just have to go there to understand. Is it the vastness of the place? The enormous topographical variety? Maybe it’s the profound quietness that permeates the national park and environs. Then again, it might be the panorama of nighttime stars. (Death Valley National Park is a certified International Dark Sky Park due to its limited light pollution.) Could it be the tenacity of people who live there and survive the one hundred twenty plus degree temperatures in the summer? And how about those animals? The Death Valley pupfish is a teeny little endangered fish that lives in precisely one spot on the globe (Death Valley) and only two places within that range, Salt Creek and Cottonball Marsh. Imagine that! So why set a six book series in Death Valley? Because there’s no more hostile and incredible place I can think of. I hope you will enjoy taking a fictional trip with me there too. Enjoy the adventure, reader friends!
