 🏔🌨❆❅❄🔎🐕🐾 🏔🌨❆❅❄🔎🐕🐾 About the Book Title:   Alaskan Avalanche Escape  Author:   Darlene L. Turner Publisher:   Love Inspired Suspense Release Date:   February 21, 2023 Genre:   Christian Romantic Suspense

Sabotage in the mountains…

Can this K-9 sniff out the truth? 
After surviving a sudden avalanche, mountain survival expert Jayla Hoyt and her search-and-rescue K-9 discover that it was no accident—someone deliberately triggered the mountain explosion. To uncover the culprit, she’ll have to partner with Alaska park ranger Bryson Clarke, a man she doesn’t trust. But when the investigators become targets, can they capture the criminal mastermind…before they’re buried alive? 
From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith.  
EXCERPT:

Rumbles beneath her feet increased with every pulsating heartbeat that consumed mountain-survival expert Jayla Hoyt’s body. Her muscles tensed with a rush of adrenaline as a cloud of white powder filled the air, blocking the blue sky. She recognized the familiar whumping sound. Mounds of snow were collapsing—fast. “Avalanche! Take cover!”

But there was nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide.

MY REVIEW:🌟  🌟  🌟  🌟  🌟

An action-packed, faith-filled, memorable romantic suspense novel . . .

This is the second novel I've read by this gifted author. She has a talent for drawing her readers into the action from the first sentence and keeping them engaged until the last page of the book.

This story includes well-developed main characters, including an extraordinary K-9 named Hercules, and features excellent descriptive writing about the settings in the story. I was so involved in the story at one point that I realized I was shivering from the cold when in reality my home was cozy and warm!

There is a small group of supporting characters with very bad attitudes in this story. Their angst and sarcasm filled the scene when they were on page which helped to balance the personalities of the otherwise amiable main characters.

The lead female character, Jayla Hoyt, carried a deep burden of guilt over some events from her past. However, Hercules was sensitive to her feelings and moods and provided a lot of comfort to his handler and others throughout the story. They worked together like a well-oiled machine, and the pair trusted each other implicitly.

The lead male character, Bryson Clarke, dealt with his own demons from his past and was frequently reminded of them by some individuals around him. He was trying to heal and move forward in his life; he was instrumental in helping Jayla through some really tough times.

My favorite character was Hercules. I thoroughly enjoy reading stories which include K-9 heroes because I love to learn more about how these animals assist their handlers in dangerous situations and in everyday life. Hercules offered some comic relief in the story with his natural 'doggy' behavior when he was off-duty. 'Herc' was a valuable addition to the cast.

The mystery that ran throughout the book was complex and well-planned by the author. She did not reveal anything about anyone until she was good and ready. That simple technique is what makes suspense, thriller, and mystery readers come back for more!

This book is completely clean in language and content.

I received a copy of this book from the author as a member of her launch team. All of my opinions and thoughts shared here are solely my own.
