My Thoughts

Wow! That's about all I can say.

Hunted on the Trail will certainly keep you on the edge of your seat. It's action-packed and suspenseful. I also enjoyed the growth in both Stephanie and Vance, in trust in each other and in forgiveness toward each other, as well as in their faith in God.

And, hey! the dogs nearly steal the show, especially good ol' endearing Pudge. I like how Pudge and Vance have similar temperaments, as do Steph and Chloe. I love how Mentink incorporates dogs in her stories.

If you're looking for Christian suspense, with a dose of faith and a touch of romance, this should be added to your TBR list.

I received a complimentary copy through Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.

More from Dana

My life has gone to the dogs! No joke! While readers enjoy the Wolfe family humans, I hear on the regular that their favorite characters are the bloodhounds. In book #1, Wally was just an irrepressible disaster, and he continues his naughty ways throughout the series. In book #2, we met Pinkerton who is a model canine, unless squirrels enter the picture. And now, you’ll get to know Chloe who is fabulous, but I will venture to say she is going to be outshined by her mutt companion Brutus (you’ll have to read the book to discover his real name and identity!) As this book launches, I’m deep into writing the last two and there are a couple more unpredictable hounds you have yet to meet. Such fun! Thanks for galloping along with me on this series!
