MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I make it a point to read every book Dana Mentink publishes. I love how well she manages to write a suspense filled plot complete with characters I would love to get to know. Her villains are usually either unexpected or somewhat demented. I especially love that I will find at least one dog in every book and each of those dogs has his own unique personality. What\u2019s not to love about her books?<\/p>\n

Yukon Justice<\/em> more than lived up to my expectations. It\u2019s setting of a reindeer rescue ranch offered a bit of an education about reindeer with several facts that will be new to many readers. The featured K-9 Unit dog Ella was a fun combination with several quirky habits yet totally on the job when working.<\/p>\n

Katie and Brayden\u2019s relationship was somewhat strained due to past issues but working together might just change that. As they encountered one dangerous situation after another Brayden\u2019s focus changed to wanting to protect Katie at all costs. Could she give up enough independence to let him help?<\/p>\n

Another great offering from this author. Can\u2019t wait to read the next book in the series.<\/p>\n

MORE FROM DANA:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Up on the housetop, click, click, click, down through the chimney with good St. Nick. <\/em>Does anyone know that line from the famous Christmas song?<\/em> I\u2019ve been singing it for years but only recently did I learn that the clicking is a real reindeer phenomenon. Those reindeer ankle joints make a clicking sound so they can find the rest of their herd if they are separated in a blizzard. It\u2019s just one of the many things I learned about reindeer while researching to write Yukon Justice. In the novel, Katy has to take over running her aunt\u2019s reindeer ranch and protect it from threats by a dangerous intruder. I had the pleasure of \u201cZoom\u201d interviewing the owner of the Running Reindeer Ranch in Fairbanks, Alaska! Jane helped me learn all kinds of interesting things about reindeer. How much do you know about these critters? Take my quick three question trivia quiz to test your knowledge!<\/p>\n

1. What\u2019s the difference between caribou and reindeer? They are the same animal but caribou are the wild variety and the domesticated version are called reindeer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Do males or females grow antlers? Both! Reindeer are a type of deer and the only species where the female grows antlers as well as the males.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. How come kids put out carrots for Santa\u2019s reindeer? Good question! Carrots are not, in fact, part of a natural healthy reindeer diet. The animals don\u2019t even have front teeth! A much better treat would be willow or birch leaves, or their favorite food\u2026lichen, which they find by scraping the snow away from the ground with their hooves.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So how did you do? If you want to know more about these amazing creatures, snag yourself a copy of Yukon Justice!<\/p>\n
