Review of 'Silenced' by Dani Pettrey

Thank you to Bethany House for my copy in exchange for my honest review.

A few months ago, I got the chance to get a free copy of Stranded (the third book in the Alaskan Courage series) by Dani and fell in love with her style of writing as well as the characters - so when I saw they had copies of Silenced I knew right away I was going to get my request in as soon as possible to be able to review it. Thankfully I was one of the people who got that chance. :)

I first met Kayden and Jake's characters in Stranded (because I haven't gotten the opportunity to read the first two in the series, but I plan to!) and couldn't wait to discover what their storyline would be. Kayden reminded me a lot of myself in that book and even more in Silenced. (In fact, I took the Bethany House quiz about the main characters and it said I would be Kayden which I knew I would get her before I even took it.)

Crime, suspense, just a hint of romance, genuine and funny characters - Silenced has it all! I was just as impressed and obsessed with this one as I was with the third book and more than happy to add it to my growing collection of Dani Pettrey books.

My only complaint is that I had figured out who was doing everything before I even picked up the book! *sigh* I was hoping it would turn out to be someone I never would have expected, but it turned out to be exactly who I thought it was the whole time. However, despite that it was a wonderful book and it didn't bother me all that much that I was correct in my guess before I even began reading because Dani is just that great of a writer.

I am very excited for the next one in the series especially if it is about Kirra and Reef (love their relationship already and can see some of myself in Kirra as well. Interesting.).

The cover is gorgeous - whoever the model is she is absolutely beautiful. The Alaskan scenery is breath-taking as well. Perhaps one day I will get to see it in person.

All in all another wonderful book! I give it 4 1/2 stars though out of 5 simply because I was let down by being able to figure out the killer before I even picked it up.
