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!

My Thoughts

Snowbound Escape by Dana Mentink is a page turner. I enjoyed getting to know Mara, Tanner, and Britta. I do not know how Mara managed to live on the run for seven months. The author captured the stress, the terror, the cold, the worry, hunger, and loneliness. The way the author described the cold weather had me feeling Jack Frost nipping at my nose. I was caught in a blizzard once; I know that bone chilling cold and how the wind feels like icy needles on your skin. You quickly become disoriented. It did not take me long to get caught up in Mara and Tanner’s story. I loved Britta. She is a smart, sweet dog. I loved all the action along with the suspense. It had me flipping the pages to find out what would happen next (it is a wonder that my kindle was not smoking). The characters are strong, smart, and likeable. Faith was nicely woven into the story. Mara’s faith grew while on the run and I like how she shared what she had learned with Tanner. Snowbound Escape is the eighth book in the Pacific Northwest K-9 Unit. While Snowbound Escape can be read as a standalone, I believe it would have been helpful if I had read the series in order. It would allow me to get to know the other members of the K9 unit and their stories. Before beginning Snowbound Escape, you will want to settle into a cozy chair with a warm blanket and a cup of hot cocoa. Snowbound Escape is a chilling tale with a cruel killer, a clever canine, a cold climate, blasting bullets, a terrible threat, and mountains of snow.
