Piper McKenna couldn't be happier that
her “prodigal” brother Reef returned to Yancy, Alaska after five
years. But her excitement is short-lived when Reef appears at her
house covered in blood. A fellow snowboarder friend of his has been
killed. Yet despite the evidence, Reef swears that he is innocent -
and Piper believes him.
Deputy Landon Grainger loves the
McKennas like family, but he has to investigate the truth. Piper is
frustrated with his need for facts over her simple faith that Reef is
innocent. But the deputy knows that those closest to you have the
power to deceive you the most. With the sheriff pushing for a quick
conviction, a few leads that came through unexpectedly complicate the
investigation. Pursuing the truth may now risk Landon's career.
Piper wages her own search as the two
of them head out into Canada's rugged back country with a few
unforeseen complications. Not only does their friendship seem to be
turning into something bigger, but this case is becoming much more
deadly with each and every step.
“Shattered” is the second novel in
the Alaskan Courage Series written by Dani Pettrey. After I read the
first in the series titled “Submerged,” I wasn't totally sure how
this one would be, whether it would follow the same characters or
not, and whether it would fail to measure up to the first which I
enjoyed a great deal. Thankfully this one is just as good as the
first, and has even more suspense! The same characters are back, and
even Reef, who was mentioned in the previous novel but wasn't so much
present. So it was awesome to have the long lost brother as one of
the main characters in this follow-up.
One character who really drives me nuts
is the sheriff - you'll see what I mean when you read this novel and
the previous. But even that isn't really a negative point because he
adds to the storyline a fair amount. I just really can't think of
anything bad to say about the book or the author, which is quite an
awesome problem to have.
This one is a little longer than
“Submerged” was, but that allows for more meat to the story,
which is a benefit for this story since there is so much to tell. You
for sure need to read this if you love mystery/suspense books. It had
a little feel of the show CSI to it, which is another plus in my
book. That said, go check this out right away!
i was provided a copy of this book in exchange for my review. my thoughts are my own and i wasn't compensated in anyway.
