    About this audiobook

    Growing up, goody-two-shoes Kirra Jacobs and troublemaker Reef McKenna were always at odds. Now paired together on Yancey's search-and-rescue canine unit, they begin to put aside old arguments as they come to see each other in a different light. Then a call comes in from the Iditarod that will push them to their limits. Kirra's uncle, a musher in the race, has disappeared. Kirra and Reef quickly track the man, but what they discover is harrowing. Frank's daughter has been kidnapped. In order to save her, the man must use his knowledge as a mechanical engineer to do the kidnapper's bidding or she will die. Kirra and Reef, along with the entire McKenna family, are thrown into a race to stop a shadowy villain who is not only threatening a girl's life, but appears willing to unleash one of the largest disasters Alaska has ever seen.

      The fifth novel in Dani Pettrey’s Alaskan Courage series, Sabotaged, rounds out the story of the McKenna clan with a new mystery to solve and everyone on board for the ride.As the famous Iditarod begins, Kirra’s beloved uncle, a musher, disappears, her cousin is kidnapped, and the fate of the Alaskan wilderness is held in the balance. Kirra and fellow search-and-rescue team member Reef McKenna race to solve the mystery. With a gunman chasing them across Alaska, extreme environmentalists on the loose, and lives on the line, Reef and Kirra learn more about each other with each step to learning more about her cousin’s kidnapping.Reef and Kirra are interesting characters, and I’ve enjoyed how they have been interwoven into previous Alaskan Courage books. I identify with Kirra because it could also be said of me that I grew up as the “goody-twp-shoes” girl. And, ironically, Reef reminded me a lot of my popular, adventure loving brother who wasn’t always on the straight and narrow.The plot is packed with mystery and some action, as Reef and Kirra race to save her cousin and their beloved Alaskan wilderness. Sometimes the plot became almost redundant, as the two spent most of their time driving or interviewing potential suspects. But as a whole, it was well thought-out and an interesting take on the vulnerabilities of people, passionate environmentalists and those who are out for revenge.However, I was somewhat disappointed in this last Alaskan Courage book for two main reasons: I would have loved more history and information about the Iditarod. I learned a little, I suppose, but one of the reasons I loved Submerged (Book 1) was because I learned so much about the connection between Alaska and Russia and the history therein. There was such rich opportunity to share more of the culture, history etc. of the Iditarod, but I came away without that.The second reason, and more integral to the book, was that I didn’t feel Reef and Kirra changed, evolved, grew, etc. at all. Now, if you have read the previous books, you’d have seen how Reef has been changing for some time. But as a stand-alone, you don’t get that at all. It’s more like both Reef and Kirra are discovering just how much he has changed. That made the story rather fall flat to me.I wanted to know more about Kirra, to see her struggles, her personality, not just because of a trauma in her past, but because of who she is as a person. Like I said, I identify with her. But I didn’t feel like she was fully explored and rounded out as a character.Overall though, I love the Alaskan Courage series, Sabotaged included. I look forward to seeing what new book Pettrey has in store for us next!I received a complimentary copy of Sabotaged from Bethany House Publishers, but I was not otherwise compensated for this review. All writing, thoughts, and opinions are solely mine.

      Dani Pettrey has done it again, and we are back in Alaska with the extended McKenna family. This time we are following the Iditarod and Kirra Jabobs and Reef MccKenna are thrown together in a desperate effort to rescue her Uncle Frank’s daughter, and her cousin, Meg.Again there seems to be danger at each turn, and who have to wonder who will be left by the end of the book. Whether someone is shooting at you, or being a car careening off the road and into icy water there is lots of danger and more to go around. The question we start asking is “why”? How can anyone survive all that seems to be happening?We are introduced to the stealing of a valuable Fabragé egg, the rich oil fields, and the natural minerals that abound in Alaska, and are trying to connect the dots as to what needs to be done to save Meg. Or is there another angle that we are not seeing clearly.Through all the troubles we find great faith and a love of God, He is there with then at each turn, and all they need to do is ask for his help. There is also a bit of romance going on here, one we have followed from another book, and a new one, but will the budding love be able to survive?I loved this book and the others in this series, they are all page-turners, and full of mystery. You don’t have to have read the previous books to enjoy this one, but I would recommend you read them, they are all equally as exciting as this one. Enjoy!I received this book through Bethany House Bloggers Tour, and was not required to give a positive review.
    • 4/5
      I continued my Alaskan vacation once I got home by listening to Sabotaged, the final book in Dani Pettrey’s Alaskan Courage series. If you are a fan of this series, you will be pleased to know that Pettrey finishes it off with appearances by all the McKenna clan and their significant others. The book starts out fast, and the suspense never lets up. Featured characters Reef and Kirra have their hands full with threats and attacks by unknown assailants. Although eco-terrorists seem to be the main threat, there could be hidden agendas as well. Reef and Kirra criss-cross the state making this book a true Alaskan adventure. From Anchorage to Fairbanks to Seward to Nome and along the Iditarod Trail, the two track down clues of her abducted cousin and renegade uncle. Suspense is a big part of Sabotaged, but romance is central as well, as Reef and his long time nemesis Kirra discover they have a lot in common. Sparks certainly fly between the two. Specific to the audiobook — I found it easy to listen to and get lost in.If you are looking for romantic suspense, Pettrey is a go-to author. Begin at book 1 in the series, though, because each McKenna’s story is revealed and built upon from book to book. With 5 volumes, you are in for some great hours of binge-reading!Recommended.Audience: adults.(I purchased the audiobook from Audible. All opinions expressed are mine alone.)

      SabotagedDani PettreyBook Summary: Finally Returned Home, Reef McKenna Finds His Beloved Alaska Facing Its Greatest Threat Growing up, goody-two-shoes Kirra Jacobs and troublemaker Reef McKenna were always at odds. Now, working together as search-and-rescue for Alaska's arduous Iditarod race, a growing attraction seems to be forcing aside old arguments. Then Reef catches Kirra sneaking from camp in the middle of the night. Kirra's uncle, a musher in the race, has disappeared. Kirra and Reef quickly track the man, but what they discover is harrowing: Frank's daughter has been kidnapped. Kirra and Reef, along with the entire McKenna family, are thrown into a race to stop a shadowy villain who is not only threatening a girl's life--but appears willing to unleash one of the largest disasters Alaska has ever seen. Review: Great Storyline. The McKenna family is fun and it was great to read the final in the series. Everyone made an appearance. With the Iditarod as the backdrop for the suspense was fantastic. It seemed at times that the bad guys had eyes everywhere and that may it more intense. Kirra was very well written and demonstrated a growth throughout the book that made it enjoyable. Loved Reef, he was easy going and likable from his original appearance in previous books. The story lined challenged ‘the how far would you go’ questioned with the buffer of in faith we are in Christ, that we must pray and look to Him for our way in this fallen world. Not preachy but very thought provoking. I would like to thank Bethany House for allowing me to read and review this book in return for a free copy and I was never asked to write a favorable review by anyone.

      It has arrived. It is a bittersweet moment for me, the final book in the Alaskan Courage series. Throughout these five books the McKenna’s have become my friends, they have become a book series I will re-read over and over. However, even with it being the end of the series, it did not keep me from devouring this book from the very start! Sabotaged may be one of my favorites of the set (However, I really am partial to Kayden’s story in Silenced). Pettrey has continued to impress with each book, with twists and turns you never know quite what you are getting into.Reef’s story is no different,although through him and Kirra I believe that Dani has reached another level with her characters. I loved the characters of the previous book but there is something about Kirra and Reef that is very human and authentic. The problems they face on a personal and emotional level and you can connect with their struggles and inner turmoil of figuring how to navigate a new relationship with the baggage of someone’s past and working on moving on while embracing what God has planned for you.I can never say enough good things about the Alaskan Courage series and I highly recommend all of them. Just a warning, once you start you won’t want to put them down, so you may want to purchase them all at once!I received this book complimentary from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

      Originally posted at The Scribbling Sprite.

      The 5 McKenna siblings have been united, and it's a good thing too, because danger is afoot for their friend Kirra Jacobs and her family.

      When Kirra's uncle, a musher in the Iditarod Dog Sled Race, goes missing, she and Reef McKenna are determined to find him. But what they thought was a simple case of missing persons turns out to be a much bigger problem. Now they're facing the kidnapping of Kirra's cousin, and a deadly race to stop a widespread disaster.

      My review:

      Joy.

      I think that sums up the feelings I had when I finally laid hands on this book. I've followed the journey of the McKenna family since book 1 of the Alaskan Courage series, and was excited to see how the adventure concluded. I certainly was NOT disappointed.

      I loved catching up with all of the old characters and getting to know Reef and Kirra better through their story. My favorite thing about the book is the likable characters and how easy it is to sympathize with them.

      As a whole, Sabotaged was fast-paced, and I thought the mystery and the romance both to be very believable and fun. You romantic suspense lovers don't want to miss this series.

      Content: Christian themes; Some kissing and embracing; Mention of a rape.

      In this finale of the Alaskan Courage series, Kirra’s uncle, Frank, has disappeared from the Iditarod race. We soon learn that his daughter has been kidnapped, and he is being forced into some dangerous and illegal activity in the hopes of saving her life. Much of the book deals with Kirra and Reef trying to chase down Frank and locate his daughter. A complex plot has the characters figuring out exactly who is responsible for the kidnapping, but the path is not straightforward, and like in real life, sometimes people who seem to be on the same side are not honest with each other. Exciting and entertaining, this mystery, with just enough romance thrown in, is a great way to end a wonderful series.
    • 5/5
      The first book I've read by Ms. Pettrey. Wonderful read. Lots of action, suspense, Christian morals, and exciting locales. I'm hooked.

      So if you could change time and stop bad things, would you? Easy answer, people, NO! There are too many unintended consequences and unforeseen circumstances. As a human in the year 2017 I'm already freaked out about overpopulation, and I imagine that anything good you'd want to do would save lives, so yes, overpopulation in the present is more likely to happen with lives saved in the past, but it could lead to more death. Let's say you stop one war and a worse war results, or you save someone who ends up being patient zero in an epidemic. There are no way to guarantee avoiding negative consequences even doing something wonderful. So yes, I saw what Second was doing and freaked out. I also noticed that again we had multiple kids being saved - probably for the best because 36 books would be quite a long series. This one ended in a bit of a cliff-hanger, so we'll see where the next one goes.

      This book is a very good book to use to introduce science fiction books for older students. Students would respond well to the interesting, sci-fi type of writing, and plot.

      This is the third in the 'Missing' series by author Margaret Peterson Haddix and is for a young adult audience. I picked it up as it had a sci-fi theme and it turned out to be a good story.The main characters are 13 year old time travelers who are sent on a mission to return Virginia Dare (a famous kid stolen from time to be sold to the highest bidder) to her rightful place in history. That was the mission Jonah, Andrea and Katherine thought they were on, but a clandestine character who calls himself 'Second' wants to change, rather than protect, history.What follows is an interesting tale from a Jonah's perspective. This is light weight reading, but I believe it fits perfectly with Haddix's target market.
    • 4/5
      The third book in the series that deals with missing children in time. In this book Jonah and Katherine, brother and sister, are again sent back in time to help save another child. This time they are sent with Andrea, who is really Virginia Dare, to the 16th century to the lost colony of Roanoke. Only this time while traveling through time the trip is sabotaged. Not knowing where or when they have landed they must now solve two dilemmas without changing history. How to save Andrea and where is the original Virginia Dare.
    • 4/5
      Margret Peterson Haddix's third addition to The Missing Childrens Series was all about brother and sister Jonah and Katherine. But this time, a new character named Andrea was added to the thrilling series. These teens are sent to the 1600's to repair time, but something goes wrong. What it is, is a mystery that you will have to find out by yourself. Andrea learns that she is realy Virginia Dare, the first English girl born in America, and the trio go on a journey to find out what exactly in time they are trying to fix. Haddix is known for thrilling and heart wrenching novels. This one does not have as much of that as the first two books, but there is a lot more drama in this book. Take a look at The Missing Childrens Series, if you haven't already. Trust me, you won't want to ever stop reading Haddix's amasing novels!
    • 5/5
      I found this book to be very exciting,suspenseful and entreating I didn't want to put it down!She does great job explaining everything that goes on. and she makes you want to just hate the bad guys and love the good guys
    • 5/5
      As the next book in line in the "Missing" series I expected none less than what this book gave me. This book was thrilling and extremely exciting to read. I couldn't put it down once I got into it. The only thing that I didn't like about this amazing book was the fact that it left me wondering what happened at the end. I don't like books that leave me hanging, wondering what is going to happened next. But other than that, I loved reading this book.
    • 4/5
      “Found.” “Sent.” “Sabotaged.” Out of these three books I think Sabotaged was the least interesting of the series, don’t get me wrong it was a great book but the first two were better. Sabotaged was about Andrea (another missing child from history) finding out that she is Virginia Dare of 1587. Virginia Dares life is completely unknown except that she was the first English child born in the western hemisphere. In this book Margaret Peterson Haddix does a great job of mixing the things that happened in the first and second book, the Virginia Dare story and the sabotaging. Although this was the least interesting of the series it was still interesting. I love the fact that Margaret Peterson Haddix decided to make the most exciting Events happen in the last couple of chapters in the book because it made me want to keep reading, Even though the book was done! The way the book was written I could tell that the author was passionate about Virginia Dare’s story. The authors note at the back of the book also told me about Virginia Dare’s story and why Margaret Peterson Haddix chose Virginia Dare to be in the missing series. I could not have lived in this time period because I am so used to the 21st century it would probably be hard to get used to the 19th century because there is no TV, internet or cell phones. I guess I am very attached to the conveniences of the 21st century. Probably couldn’t last a week, not even close to how long Jonah and Katherine were there for. I recommend this book to everyone who has read found and sent and recommend this series to Margaret Peterson Haddix’s fans and people who like historical fiction with a twist. Enjoy!
