Lucie's Review:

Someone is hunting him and he can't remember their face, and now he must trust a friend from the past to find the truth.

A fast paced read with plenty of mystery as Kara and Beau unravel what is behind the attack against Beau and his mother. I liked how they are both Christians and reconnect over the course of the story, finding more than just common ground. Kara is a K-9 handler with two talented dogs, one is a blind bloodhound with a super strong sense of smell, her other dog is very protective and guides her bloodhound. Engaging read with great character development and relationship building, with amazing dogs. I really liked how Beau had to learn to adapt to the challenges in the world around him, and how he finds ways compensate.

Action packed read, with a suspenseful mystery and well-paced plot. I liked that we got to see other members of the K-9 team from previous books as well, but this book also works well as a stand alone. Fantastic story from beginning to end, highly recommend!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

More from Dana

The only thing more fun that writing about bloodhounds, is adding in some colorful new canine characters who aren’t quite your standard tracking champions. In this book, you’ll get to know Phil who was introduced at the end of book #3. He’s a livestock protector who steps in as a guide for Millie the bloodhound when her vision becomes impaired. Phil takes his job VERY seriously. He flat out refuses to wear a vest, or play with toys, and he doesn’t particularly like people, but he will lay his life down to protect Millie and Kara Wolfe. It was so much fun having this unlikely hero rise to the challenge as Kara and her ex-boyfriend must root out a saboteur on the local fish hatchery property. The secret they unearth will shock you, I hope! Please enjoy the adventure with Millie, Phil, and the rest of the Wolfe pack!
