Finally Returned Home, Reef McKenna
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.

MY THOUGHTS
Dani Pettrey brings her Alaskan Courage series to a satisfying end with the fifth and final book, and I think Sabotaged might be my favorite of the four I've read. Don't worry if you haven't read the earlier books as they can easily be read as stand-alones. But I guarantee that once you read one, you'll want to catch up on all of them! Each book has focused on one sibling, although all the siblings have had roles in each story, and I'm glad to see Reef finally have his moment in the spotlight, especially now that his rebellious years and bad choices seem to be behind him. Pettrey has upped the danger and suspense with this novel as she weaves the story around the running of the Iditarod. This is definitely a book to read under a blanket with a cup of your favorite warm beverage because the cold seeps through the pages. However, there's a bit of heat as well, due to both the clashes and the sparks flying between Reef and Kirra! A race against the clock had me holding my breath and turning pages faster as the book neared its culmination. Kudos to Dani Pettrey on a captivating book and series. You'll want to own the entire set!
