Intrigue and Romance in the Stunning Alaskan Frontier

In the Shadow of Denali (The Heart of Alaska Book #1) by [Peterson, Tracie, Woodhouse, Kimberley]
A cold-hearted murder, a blossoming romance, exciting wilderness hikes--all set against the stunning backdrop of the heart of Alaska.

Set in 1920s Alaska, John Ivanoff and his daughter, Cassidy, work at Curry Hotel. John is a wilderness guide and Cassidy enjoys her work in the hotel kitchen. Their summer gets interesting when Allan Brennan comes, wanting to experience the place where his father died many years past.

The story grows in intrigue and suspense as more details are discovered surrounding Allan's father's death and Allan and Cassidy's growing friendship.

Peterson and Woodhouse are a powerhouse duo. They do a great job of making the reader feel immersed in the setting - it's easy to get lost in the scenery and mountain ranges. Similarly, the characters are well-depicted - each character grew on me and I especially found Cassidy likeable.

I was invested in the characters and the suspense and I really enjoyed the book. I also appreciated the Christian angle - it was an important part of the story and worked with the flow, not just lumped in here and there. I'm excited to see what's in store for the rest of the Heart of Alaska series.

In all, I really enjoyed this book and would recommend to anyone who enjoys Christian Historical Fiction or who would like a taste of historical Alaska.
