Silenced (Alaskan Courage #4) - Dani Pettrey

So far, I've only read the first book in this series, Submerged.  I really enjoyed it and was thankful to have the opportunity to read this one as well.

Kayden relies on control.  After seeing her mother fight a debilitating disease, she is determined to maintain control over everything she can.  She's a climber and unfortunately that leads her face to face with a dead body.  She ends up working with Jake, a person she doesn't want to love, but she finds herself falling for him anyway.

Jake has lost people he loved before and he's afraid it's going to happen again.  Solving the mystery of the dead climber leads to something more sinister and he thinks history is going to repeat itself.  He wants to do everything he can to prevent it, but will he figure out what's going on before it's too late?

I ate this book up!  I read it in two days and couldn't put it down.  After seeing the way the foundation for the next book was set up in Submerged, I was a little worried I would get too much information and feel like I wouldn't want to go back and read the others.  On the contrary, I found that I was more intrigued to read the other two books I hadn't read yet. It's a fine line making a series somewhat continuous and stand alone at the same time, but I think this author does a really great job and I look forward to more.

This series about the McKennas involves four books thus far.  Submerged, Shattered, Stranded and Silenced.  The foundation for Reef's relationship begins in this book, but I couldn't find information on the next book or when it would be coming out.  I'll definitely be on the lookout for it.  Good Book!
