What I like best about Ms. Pettrey’s novels is the way she
builds her suspenseful themes around family and includes descriptive passages
of the Alaskan landscape that are familiar as your own hometown visages. You
feel at home as much as her characters, the McKennas.
In, Silenced we reach the climax of the mystery that has
been building since the first book in the series, Submerged. Kayden and Jake are thrown together to solve
the murder of a local climber and having reached the solution to that mystery a
bigger and more serious one evolves. Jake,
the catalyst for a demented murderer, finds himself racing against time to save
the woman he loves. Having lost his wife and child to this, mad individual, he
doesn’t want to lose another.
There is plenty of
romance with two weddings, resolution of stories from earlier books in the
series. Two more siblings seem bent for their own marital end; and the
foundation is laid for younger brother Reef and long- time nemesis, Kirra to
have their storyline.
Dani Pettrey’s books are full of action, history, romance,
strong family relationships, and a nugget of spiritual truth thrown in. She has
a gift of writing romantic edginess with the boy or girl next door feel. I
enjoy how she helps you to know what both the hero and heroine are feeling and
thinking. Her scenes are rife with sexual tension but her characters handle it
truthfully and honorably. I have this series on my keeper shelf because they
are such fun to read. Though each could
stand alone, I recommend reading them in order for the information you gain on
the siblings and their personalities and relationships.
