Book Review:
I am always amazed by the quality of Dana Mentink’s writing. I love these characters in Death Valley Double Cross. I love the unique setting and how the theme of forgiveness plays out. How can you forgive? Sometimes it seems impossible. This book takes forgiveness and gives it a solid foundation that allowed me to see each character’s dilemma and want to see them all succeed in learning this valuable lesson through they’d been put through some serious pain to get where they are now. People change. Who you were five years ago and who you are today, you’ve changed. Hopefully for the better. That is what I saw these characters learn and struggle with as they faced their own shortcomings. It’s a lot to pack into a short book, and Dana Mentink does it so well. Not to mention the constant threat and suspense that’s always on the horizon. I received a copy of this book from the author through Celebrate Lit. I was not required to leave a positive review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

I remember standing on the edge of the lookout and gazing into the wonder that is Artist’s Palette in Death Valley. Artist’s Drive, which takes you to this breathtaking view, rises above Badwater Basin (the lowest spot in North America) and then meanders along twisting canyons and hills until it brings you to this popular tourist stop. The premier view is a place called Artist’s palette. It’s a sprawling pocket of color, hues of rose, ochre, green and gold tucked in the rippling landscape and teased to life by the desert sun. Isn’t that just like God? To lead us to surprises and wonders that await us in a sometimes hostile world? Every day we spent in Death Valley held a surprise, from the rocks that move mysteriously across the sands to the towering twists and turns of 20 Mule Team Canyon. There are only two things to do with a wonderous place like that…enjoy the divine bounty, and write a novel set there so others can come along!
I hope you will enjoy this third installment in the Desert Justice series. The first is Beckett’s story and then we had quiet cowboy Levi’s adventure. Now it’s brash pilot Austin’s turn. Will he get his happy ending after being dumped at the altar and wrecking his shoulder in an accident? Turn those pages and come with me to Death Valley to find out!
