What I think about this book:
If you have never read a Tonya Stowe book this is a great place to start, if you have then you know what a fast paced treat that you are in for. Stowe starts off the book with a bang, and never lets up. I love how she weaves beautiful descriptions of the surroundings and Navajo culture into the book. I enjoyed how Dulcie and Austin challenged each other and helped the other to overcome pain and fear from their past. This was an action packed story that left me wanting more of the characters and the author.

As I began reading this book, I quickly found myself caught up in Dulcie’s story. I found Dulcie and Austin to be characters I wanted to read about in order to find out more about them. The suspense in this novel kept me guessing, and sometimes I found myself surprised. In the end, I appreciated how the story concluded.

This book includes domestic violence, but the author does not dwell on it I felt Tanya Stowe created a believable storyline and realistic characters. I felt satisfied by the ending of the book as well. So check out this book for yourself.

This was a quick book of roller coaster suspense. There was some type of action almost every time you turned around. I really like Dulcie and Austin. There are some tough topics that are referred to in this story. Dulcie lived through some tough times as a child and still was suffering as an adult. I received a copy of this book from Celebratelit for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will. ( )

Vanished in the Mountains by Tanya Stowe is a stand-alone Love Inspired Suspense book. Domestic violence counselor Dulcie Parker feels the need to help those that can’t help themselves. When she uncovers evidence of a human trafficking ring in her area, she knows she must help even if she dies in the process. She turns to Deputy Sheriff Austin Turner for help, can they solve the case before the gang strikes again? When the story first started it was almost as if it was a continuation of another story. There was talk of a previous case etc. Other than that, it was a great pulse-pounding story. Dulcie was a likeable character even though she was a wimp when it came to reacting to trouble. Even though Dulcie and Turner had problems they were able to work through them and come out stronger in the end!

This is a fast paced story that screams of intrigue. I first want to mention the breathtaking scenery the author describes when the action is taken into the mountains of Colorado. I could picture the beautiful sky and see the beauty that God had made. I would love to visit Canyon de Chelly. I loved how the author incorporates Navajo people. It was interesting to learn more about them and explore the land where history took place.

I liked Dulcie and her work as a domestic violence counselor. She takes her job serious and is determined to keep women safe. It was interesting to hear about her past and what she had to endure as a child. Her past has caused her not to trust and it has become more intense as the years go by. When she finds out about a human trafficking ring, she is determined to stop it.

Austin is a good cop but he has days where he can’t forget about his loss. He blames himself and feels like God could have prevented it. When he and Dulcie team up to catch the people involved in the trafficking ring, danger finds them. Dulcie has some evidence that could put people away for a long time. These people will do anything to stop her. There is plenty of danger as these two try to stay one step ahead of them. There is a good faith element in the storyline that talks about trusting God. I liked how Austin and Dulcie share their past and start to let each other in.

The story highlights the human trafficking and how rampant it is. I can’t imagine how someone could treat others like they are commodities to sell without any remorse. I appreciate the author using this subject in her story to remind us that evil is out there. There was one person I was shocked at that was involved in the crime. There are some close calls that had me on the edge of my seat. It is a great story filled with intrigue, danger, faith and learning how to trust again.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion. ( )
