I have been a fan of Dana Mentink of a couple of years. Dana's book are always intriguing, suspenseful and fun. Yukon Justice is her latest book that I was have read. The book is Book 7 in the Alaska K-9 Unit series. I have read a few books in the series, and they all seem to be good standalone books.

Katie Kapowski has to take a leave of absence from her job as part of the Alaska K-9 unit to go help her Aunt. Her Aunt's Ranch is in danger as someone is trying to sabotage the farm. It is believed that her Aunt's brother, Terrance, is stealing Reindeer from Family K Reindeer Ranch and it is unclear why he would steal. The Ranch is put under Security checks and surveillance. Braydon Ford is assigned to the Security for the Ranch, which Katie and Braydon have a rocky working relationship. Katie and Braydon are not happy about the assignment, but they concur to work together and capture the one who is sabotaging the Ranch. Will Katie and Braydon be able to protect the ranch and capture Terrance? Will working together bring them a new found relationship and admiration for each other?

Dana Mentick has done it again, another AWESOME book! I really like LOVE Inspired Suspense books. They are always a quick read, although best of all is they have a lot of SUSPENSE packed into a small book. I really like how Katie and Braydon decide to move forward and focus on keeping the Ranch safe and don't dwell on their differences. The time spent together and solving the Ranch Sabotage really is great for their working relationship, but also for their friendship. Aunt Addie, Katie's Aunt, is an wonderful character who really brings joy to the storyline. I was on the edge of my seat at many points in the book as the book wasn't very predictable. I highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys Suspense, Romance and Faith based books! WONDERFUL BOOK!

More from Dana

Up on the housetop, click, click, click, down through the chimney with good St. Nick. Does anyone know that line from the famous Christmas song? I’ve been singing it for years but only recently did I learn that the clicking is a real reindeer phenomenon. Those reindeer ankle joints make a clicking sound so they can find the rest of their herd if they are separated in a blizzard. It’s just one of the many things I learned about reindeer while researching to write Yukon Justice. In the novel, Katy has to take over running her aunt’s reindeer ranch and protect it from threats by a dangerous intruder. I had the pleasure of “Zoom” interviewing the owner of the Running Reindeer Ranch in Fairbanks, Alaska! Jane helped me learn all kinds of interesting things about reindeer. How much do you know about these critters? Take my quick three question trivia quiz to test your knowledge!

What’s the difference between caribou and reindeer? They are the same animal but caribou are the wild variety and the domesticated version are called reindeer.

Do males or females grow antlers? Both! Reindeer are a type of deer and the only species where the female grows antlers as well as the males.

How come kids put out carrots for Santa’s reindeer? Good question! Carrots are not, in fact, part of a natural healthy reindeer diet. The animals don’t even have front teeth! A much better treat would be willow or birch leaves, or their favorite food…lichen, which they find by scraping the snow away from the ground with their hooves.

So how did you do? If you want to know more about these amazing creatures, snag yourself a copy of Yukon Justice!
