Dani Pettrey

Dear Readers,

For a long time Dee Henderson was a unique writer in that she was the only one writing romantic suspense.  There were and are many writers that were writing one or the other, but Dee kind of had the corner on the market of romantic suspense.  That started to change just a few short years ago and now there are several good authors writing in the same genre.  (Funny side note, it is often called “Dee Henderson like.”)

Dani Pettrey is one of those authors.  Her first book Submerged released in 2012 and was almost an instant hit with readers.  Personally here in the store I was getting asked about book #2 within a couple of weeks of that one releasing.  I am happy to say book #2, Shattered by Dani is on the shelves and readers are eating it up as fast as book one. 

Now let me say this first, I do recommend book one first as it sets up the family and lets you know who is who.  Book 2 starts on the thought that you already know this and doesn’t really cover it again.  Not a bad thing, just know it so you are prepared.

Long lost brother Reef is back in town.  He stopped by his brother’s engagement party and to take part in a skiing competition.  When he is declared the suspect in a murder of one of his fellow skiers, his sister Piper is determined to prove his innocence.  One of the major obstacles in her investigation is Landon, someone that is like an older brother.

Landon is torn between doing his job correctly and falling on the side of the family and letting Reef go.   He determines to follow the evidence to the right conclusion no matter whether it proves Reef innocent or guilty.  The only obstacle standing in his way is Piper as she continues to put herself in danger, because if Reef isn’t the killer, than whoever is, is still out there and they won’t take kindly to someone trying to find them. 

This is an easy book to recommend.  If you liked book one you will like this one.  If you like Dee Henderson style books this is definitely the series for you.  Throw in an Alaskan backdrop and it makes for a wonderful little read.

Happy Reading
