Fans of Dani Pettrey are feeling a bit mixed-up emotionally right now. While we're thrilled that her latest book is FINALLY available to hold and smell (yes, I love how paper smells!) and read, we're also feeling a bit sad that we're going to have to say farewell to the McKenna family as the Alaskan Courage series comes to an end. [*sob*]
Before you despair too much, though, let's take a few minutes to properly celebrate the release of Sabotaged! [*!!!party time!!!*]
In my opinion, Dani is an expert at writing characters that spring to life page after page. AND she always puts together some goodies to give readers a sneak peek into the lives of said characters. Take a look at these dossiers that Dani put together and meet Reef and Kirra . . .
She also put together a great playlist of Kirra and Reef's favorite songs. What a great way to get in their minds a little more!
As if great characters aren't enough, Dani also does a great job creating a setting for these characters to have great adventures. To be honest, I've never really cared that much about traveling to Alaska. It sort of seemed like a place that retirees visit on a cruise when they're around 60 or 70.
However, if I could dress like this . . .
. . . drink a cup of yummy deliciousness like this one . . .
. . . snuggled up in a reading nook like this . . .
. . . in an adorable cottage like this . . .
. . . and staring at gorgeous scenery like this . . .
. . . then maybe I've had it all wrong.
Check out the rest of Dani's Sabotaged Pinterest board to be inspired to fall in love with Alaska. OR just go grab a copy of the BOOK and let Dani take you on an awesome adventure with Kirra and Reef. (If you can't wait to get to the bookstore or download the ebook, you can get a head start and read the first chapter now!)
Just finished this book and it was great. Love how you did this review. If it doesn't pull in some readers for Dani, I will be amazed.
ReplyDeleteOh, WOW, Brooke!! You have outdone yourself with this GORGEOUS blog post!! That's it. I think I've been rendered useless for the rest of the day. I just want to go cozy up in that reading corner in that cabin and sip that hot chocolate and... *sigh*... this was just wonderful. Thank you for sharing all of this- you are a wonder! ~Amanda
