Deep in the Alaskan Woods

By: Karen Harper

Narrated by: Courtney Patterson

In the wilds of Alaska, someone sinister is hunting…

Alexandra Collister came to her estranged cousins’ B and B in Falls Lake, Alaska, looking for a fresh start. The surrounding forest can be harsh and unforgiving—luckily, rugged wilderness tracker Quinn Mantell offers to be her guide. Still recovering from a toxic previous relationship, Alex is wary of getting too close, but when savagely deep claw marks appear outside her bedroom window, keeping her distance from Quinn is no longer an option.

Then a body turns up exhibiting the same ruthless slash marks, and Alex knows it isn’t a coincidence. Something sinister is lurking in the woods around Falls Lake, turning Alex’s fresh start into a brutal game of survival. The murky veil of forest offers more threats than answers. Can Alex and Quinn find the killer before darkness falls for good?

Enjoyed it

I enjoyed the story. Yes, some of it was a little like what the heck why? But nice clean book to listen to in mixed company in the car on road trip with family.

Meh

I didn’t like the constant reference to her womb twin. It was brought up too much as her source of trauma.

Fade-to-black romance suspense

I am so sad we won't have any more books from this author, RIP.
This was a fade-to-black suspense romance that I really enjoyed, I will definitely be reading all her other suspense romance books. I really enjoyed all the survival info and tracking hacks this books shared, it made it so interesting and was very entertaining. Even though I listened to the audio, I did find it a bit repetitive, some things were repeated unnecessary.
I loved the narrator in this dual POV's in 3rd person. She did a great job with all the tones and there were lot of characters in this story. I especially loved hearing all the emotions from our characters in the narrator's voice, it really made for an emotional real.

Triggers: there are side characters that believe in hauntings and roaming spirits. Kidnapping. Over-dominant ex with stalker vibe.

Captivating

Loved it!!! Couldn’t stop listening. Story line was unpredictable and I enjoyed the twists and turns

Prefect for me

It was just what I needed in an audio book. Not scary suspense, but kept me guessing until the very end. Great descriptions of Alaska, too.
