My Thoughts on the Book

Another great story from Dana Mentink. The storyline is exciting, filled with suspense, danger, and romance. I loved the growing faith that Nora finds as she gets to know Seth.

The family ties between Seth & Nora's family showed how they pulled together in good as well as bad times. The ending was even more than I expected and wrapped up everything nicely. This author has never failed to provide and exciting and inspirational suspense. This is no exception.

I received a ARC from the publisher and voluntarily choose to review it.

More from Dana

Well here we go! Book five in the Desert Justice series features Nora (Chief Jude’s estranged sister), a wild donkey who needs rescuing, and a crime from the past that intrudes into the present. Twisty, right? I was inspired to write this story after visiting Death Valley and learning about the feral donkeys which inhabit the region. They’re cute, visitors love them, but the burros can encounter health problems and cause environmental damage if they aren’t settled into a safe area. It’s amazing to me that wild donkeys are adept at detecting underground water sources. They dig “wells” which can benefit many thirsty animals. Fascinating, right? Hope you’ll enjoy meeting Bubbles the donkey and the helpful humans who rescue her in this novel. God bless and thanks for reading!
