My ideal reader match for my latest book, RAGING WATERS, must love:

• ticking timebombs in the form of a failing dam and a ruthless drug runner
What to expect if we’re compatible:
If we are compatible, you’re the kind of person who loves stories that leave you exhausted from the thrills, encouraged by the triumphs, and eager to read my backlist of more than fifty books. You might even want to join my newsletter family where you’ll receive a monthly update on the Mentink books, shenanigans, and a giveaway or two. If you love RAGING WATERS, you’ll likely enjoy the first book, FIRE MOUNTAIN. Volcano stories might just be your jam!
RAGING WATERS by Dana Mentink
A Christian Romantic Suspense Thriller with High-Stakes Adventure Set in Small-Town Washington
As the dam crumbles and water sweeps across the terrain, their battle for justice and survival is just beginning.
When Mackenzie Bardine’s brother Aaron was murdered in a drug deal gone wrong, she started a true crime podcast dedicated to exposing “Bullseye,” the drug kingpin responsible. But her protective heart has never let go of the blame she places on herself and Aaron’s best friend, Gideon Landry. On the run to the wilds of Washington to chase a recent lead, she meets none other than Gideon himself.
While conducting a wilderness survival class in remote Washington, Gideon never expected to cross paths with Mackenzie, and he’s certainly not interested in helping her after he’s already declined to participate in her vigilante podcasting. He carries a mountain of guilt about Aaron’s fatal choices, but not for the reasons Mackenzie suspects.
As killers begin to circle Mackenzie like sharks, it’s clear to Gideon she’s in over her head, and in light of his troubled past with her brother, he can’t bring himself to ignore her perilous situation. Then a flood threatens the town, turning their investigation into a race to escape the raging waters and the wrath of a powerful kingpin who wants to sink them both.
