The end is here...or is it?

From book 1, we have been on a journey with Beth to find safety. Each book reveals more about her ordeal, having been kidnapped, her hospital stay, and how she ended up in Alaska, living in a halfway house and writing the local paper. 

This book starts with Beth's Alaska family mobilizing to keep her safe after the news that her captor, Travis, has escaped during a prisoner transport. Throughout, Beth struggles with wanting to run away to protect the people she's grown to care for and who care for her. To battle the desire to run, she and her boyfriend, Tex, set out on a hiking trip only to return in search of a mountain woman, her horse, and a dead body. 

Between working to keep Beth safe and solving the death, you'd think there would not be time for a Bigfoot mystery. And you would be wrong.

Several revelations are aired, and everything is resolved. There is a secret shared between Tex and Beth that we, the reader, are not clued into, which makes me think there is an opening for another Alaska Wild adventure.

I wouldn't mind continuing my peek into Alaska as Beth heals from all she has gone through. A great story and fantastic series.

Happy Reading!
