My Thoughts

This is the second book in the Desert Justice Series and I think it continued with bang just like the first one in the series! The suspense is fantastic and meeting both Mara and Levi is a treat! They are very likeable character and the slow burn romance is fantastic. I love how the author always weaves the message of God throughout which is always great in a story in my mind. If you like suspense and who done it type books then this is the book you should pick up! Overall I thought this was a good little story. Its a quick read so perfect for lunch time reading or right before bed (if you can handle suspense before bedtime!).

More from Dana

Hello, readers! Boy am I excited! Since the virus-that-not-shall-be-named is being brought under control, I am cautiously venturing out again and our first vacation spot will be a return to Death Valley. Papa Bear and I love the amazing diversity of Death Valley, from the salt flats, to the sand dunes, mountains, and everything in between. Writing this book allowed me to relive the incredible topography, as well as let my mind run loose imagining a cold case that warms up to fiery levels in this ferocious climate. Part of this story revolves around “Camp Town Days” which was inspired by the Encampment Days, an event held in November by a volunteer group called the Death Valley 49ers that aims to capture the pioneer spirit with their wagon rides, parade, poetry readings, a vendor show, and historical talks. I hope you can feel the desert wind in your face and hear the distant howl of the coyote as you dive into the second book in the Death Valley Justice series.
