Packed With Action, Danger & Suspense | Treacherous Trails by Dana Mentink

ABOUT THE BOOK

Falsely accused…

Can she escape the real killer?

In this second installment in the Gold Country Cowboys series, farrier Ella Cahill is accused of murder—and only former Marine Owen Thorn, her brother’s best friend, can help clear her name. Now with someone trying to kill Ella, Owen must protect her…despite his promise to her brother to stay away from her. But can they work together to find the true killer before she becomes the next to die?


MY REVIEW

With action right from the get-go, Dana Mentink’s Treacherous Trails is a thrill to read. The plot moves at a fast pace, danger and suspense at every turn, and it’s easy to root for Ella Cahill and Owen Thorn through it all. Their story kept me on the edge of my seat, turning pages eagerly to get to the satisfying end, and with the inclusion of some sweet romance and uplifting spiritual themes, I couldn’t help enjoying it. For readers in need of a quick contemporary suspense novel, Treacherous Trails is worth checking out (and don’t worry that it’s the second in a series—it can easily be read as a standalone).

★★★★

Thanks to Celebrate Lit, I received a complimentary copy of Treacherous Trails and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own.

There’s trouble ahead in cowboy country and this story will take you on a wild gallop to the happy ending! God bless and thanks for coming along!
