Alaskan Avalanche Escape, K-9 Search and Rescue #9 by Darlene Turner

Book description:


 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?

My review: 
Confession: I don't like dogs. Not even a little bit, though puppies are OK....but I love books where dogs are used in search and rescue, or by law enforcement or military. It is fascinating what they can use dogs for.

 This is the 9th book in the Search and Rescue Series by multiple authors on the Love Inspired label. I have read other books by this author, and have enjoyed every one, including this one.

  The action and suspense start immediately, and is pretty much non-stop til the end of the book. The two main characters have a history, and she can't stand him. Both characters have things in their past that they are dealing with, and Bryson is somewhere between atheism and believing in God.

 A lot happens in this book, and it is the kind that you never know what is going to happen...mostly. At one point I felt like yelling "it is a trap, don't go!"

  I feel this is one of this author's best books, and she did a great job on her portrayal of a search and rescue dog. The book had a great ending, and I enjoyed every page.

I was provided a copy of this book for review purposes. All opinions in this review are my own.
