Shattered by Dani Pettrey. Second in her Alaskan Courage series.
Another entertaining read. Again we return to Yancey, Alaska and the McKenna family. Shattered concentrates on Piper and her determination to prove her wayward brother, Reef, didn't kill a female ski competitor.
Distracting Piper is Deputy Landon Grainger. He holds not only evidence that supports the theory that Reef killed Karli Davis but also Piper's heart. The problem is that she will tell him Reef is innocent but won't tell him how she feels. Landon believes Piper is better off without him. Thus a journey of solving a mystery and being honest with each other begins.
Pettrey has an easy writing style. Her stories flow and are easy to read. I had the same issue as with Submerged though that at times location and times are different but I don't feel they've been portrayed effectively. Also it seems to take a few chapters into the book to know how the McKenna family is comprised.
I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a taste of Alaska. Despite my dislike for cold weather, I want to visit Pettrey's Alaska.
