About the Book
Book: Death Valley Hideout
Author: Dana Mentink
Genre: Christian fiction
Running from a murderer
with only the desert as refuge…
Placed in WITSEC while his brother testifies against a terrifying criminal, Tony Ortega must guard his young niece and nephew from the hit man hunting for them. Death Valley local Willow Duke’s hideout might just be the difference between the little family’s life or death. When bullets start flying, can they thwart a killer long enough to survive and become a family for real?
My Thoughts:
I truly have enjoyed every book I've ever read by this author. She just has an awesome way of telling a story and though the books aren't overly long, there is a lot in them. This is part of a series of books but it can absolutely be read as a stand alone. I have enjoyed all the books in the series and recommend you read them all.
I enjoyed the suspense and the romance. Both were done well and believable. It's a book that once you start, you don't want to put down. The kids were adorable and really written well to act like their ages. The romance wasn't a huge build up but it was good. Overall, truly enjoyed the whole thing and recommend.
4/5

More from Dana
Wooty woo! We’re back in Death Valley again! So excited about this fourth book in the series because Papa Bear and I have actually returned to this amazing place. (Our previous return trip was stalled for a while due to the virus that shall not be named!) People have asked me, “Why do you love Death Valley so much?” I can only respond that you just have to go there to understand. Is it the vastness of the place? The enormous topographical variety? Maybe it’s the profound quietness that permeates the national park and environs. Then again, it might be the panorama of nighttime stars. (Death Valley National Park is a certified International Dark Sky Park due to its limited light pollution.) Could it be the tenacity of people who live there and survive the one hundred twenty plus degree temperatures in the summer? And how about those animals? The Death Valley pupfish is a teeny little endangered fish that lives in precisely one spot on the globe (Death Valley) and only two places within that range, Salt Creek and Cottonball Marsh. Imagine that! So why set a six book series in Death Valley? Because there’s no more hostile and incredible place I can think of. I hope you will enjoy taking a fictional trip with me there too. Enjoy the adventure, reader friends!
