The greatest threat to this K-9 team is the one they don’t see coming.

Cora Isaksson’s guilt has shadowed her life ever since drugs ensnared her brother and he disappeared. When Bradley suddenly returns, Cora and her narcotics detection K-9 are thrust into a battle against the drug cartel that wants him back.

DEA Special Agent Kent Thomson has his own personal reasons for bringing justice to the cartel. Cora and her drug-sniffing K-9 will only get in his way. Or are they assets that will enable him to right the wrongs of the past?

When the cartel targets Cora, she and Kent join forces with her teammates at the Phoenix K-9 Security and Detection Agency to end the cartel before it ends her. They’re prepared for danger, but when more lives than their own hang in the balance, can they trust God for the rescue that’s out of their reach?

MY REVIEW

I enjoyed reading this clean, new k9 suspense series from cover to cover. I liked getting to know all of the women in the Phoenix k9 agency and can’t wait to read about them and their dogs in future books. I love k9 service dog books!

One of the main characters, Cora, was extremely frustrating to me throughout the story though. She was extremely religious, very kind, willing to give everyone the benefit of the doubt numerous times, and to give people second chances.
But I found it frustrating and unrealistic that she would deal with drug dealers (who had weapons) like she could talk them down and make them change their ways just by being nice to them or by talking about Jesus. That’s a great way to get shot in my opinion and not very realistic.

She also carries alot of guilt throughout the book with feeling like she failed protecting her brother and raising him to follow Jesus; when in fact she needs to realize that people have free agency and you can’t force people to make good choices or to follow Jesus.

I really liked Kent and his ability to protect Cora and his drive and determination to break up the local drug dealer crew. He was a great, positive character even though he had struggles with guilt and a difficult upbringing.

Although I am critical of Cora‘s character and she wasn’t my favorite; I still enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to read other books in the series. It had an interesting, suspenseful story line that kept my interest from beginning to end. I also read the prequel and really really enjoyed it!

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
