Synopsis:
Finally Returned Home, Reef McKeena
Finds His Beloved Alaska Facing Its Greatest Threat

Growing up, goody-two-shoes Kirra Jacobs and troublemaker Reef McKenna were always at odds. Now, working together as search-and-rescue for Alaska's arduous Iditarod race, a growing attraction seems to be forcing aside old arguments. Then Reef catches Kirra sneaking from camp in the middle of the night.

Kirra's uncle, a musher in the race, has disappeared. Kirra and Reef quickly track the man, but what they discover is harrowing: Frank's daughter has been kidnapped. Kirra and Reef, along with the entire McKenna family, are thrown into a race to stop a shadowy villain who is not only threatening a girl's life--but appears willing to unleash one of the largest disasters Alaska has ever seen.
Review:
I've been following the McKeena family since the second book of the series came out. My goodness what an adventure this family has been, and with each new adventure, the stories kept getting better. Then to close out this great series, we finally get to know the rebel, the always thought of, but hardly seen brother, Reed. What a way to close everything out!

I have to say, the wait for Reed's story was worth it. At the end of Silenced, Reed shows up, but there is much mystery behind him and his past, we finally have our answers now! Despite everything that has happened, his family has always loved him and haven't stopped praying for him. So, for Reed to be back is an answer to prayer.

We also to really get to know Kirra, a vet and someone who grew up with Reed. She is tough and determined and thrown for a loop, when she finds out her cousin has been kidnapped in the midst of the biggest race that Alaska holds, the Iditarod. It's cold and held in the middle of nowhere...better know as the Alaskan frontier.

Dani's research shines in this story. She is able to capture the spirit of the race and thrill that it brings to the state. Having livid there, I could easily picture everything that she was describing and it fit the memories perfectly. Plus, I've been waiting for when Dani would take us to Fairbanks. It finally happened! It was fun to see the city mentioned, but like with the rest of the series, it wasn't the only stop in this mystery that needs to be solved.

The story kept me guessing wondering what was going on, in a good way. When things were finally revealed, I was impressed at the scope of thought. It was good!

I'm sad to see this series end, but thrilled that it ended on such a fantastic high note!

Too Read!
