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.

My Review
I enjoyed Dana Mentink’s first book from her Desert Justice series, Framed in Death Valley. I was excited to get my hands on her newest release, Missing in the Desert. It was so very good. It has a lot of mystery and suspense, as well as, adventure and action. I loved the two main characters, Mara and Levi. The twists and turns of their story was not easily predictable and kept me on the edge of my seat.
Missing in the Desert will be getting a very well deserved five plus stars from me. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy a quick, clean and romantic suspense. I can not wait to read book two from the Desert Justice series to see what will happen next.
I received a paperback copy of Missing in the Desert from the publisher. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
The book sounds very intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a must read!! Can't wait to dive in!
