No Safe Haven is about Jenna and Andi Tikaani-Gray. Andi is Jenna's 12-year old daughter who has a rare medical disorder. Jenna's husband (Andi's dad) recently died in a car accident and they're excited when they finally receive good news from out of town specialists about Andi's disorder. But as they're flying home from a doctors appointment in Anchorage, the unthinkable happens, their plane crashes into Sultana, one of the most remote and dangerous mountains in Alaska. To make matters worse, a storm is headed their way; along with someone who wants to kill them. The only person who can keep them alive is Cole Maddox. Both Jenna and Andi can sense he's hiding something. But trusting the last minute passenger who joined them on their flight will prove to be difficult, but do they have any other choice?
Thirteen year old Zoya Naltsiine is out with her sprint racing dogs when she witnesses a murder. While trying to get away, she gets shot. She's left feeling angry at God for all the bad things that have happend to her, her friends and family.
Zoya's mom, Anesia, is a single mom who runs a kennel with champion sprint racing dogs. Anesia is tired of being alone, especially seeing Jenna and Cole's new marriage. She's trying to hold everything together, so she hires Sean Connelly to help out around the kennel.
Sean Connelly has (literally) walked away from his high profile job at CROM to get away from his tyrannical father. He sells everything and walks more than 6,000 miles to North Pole, Alaska, looking to start over. He applies at Anesia's kennel, and gets the job.
Zoya is angry at everyone, (especially God) and killers are after her. Anesia is trying to do what's best for her, Zoya, and the dogs, as well as trying to figure out Sean, his secrets, and the feelings she has for him. And Sean is determined to keep the girls safe and figure out why macrochips are being implanted in the dogs.
Are the macrochips related to the murder? Why are the killers still after Zoya? Will Zoya ever put her anger aside and trust God again? And Anesia, will she ever find love again?
Race Against Time is the sequel to No Safe Haven(Which you will want to read before Race Against Time) Written by the mother-daughter team Kimberly and Kayla Woodhouse, Race Against Time alternates points of view between multiple characters. (Mainly Zoya, Anesia, and Sean. As well as Andie, Cole, Jenna, and a couple other characters.) I liked that the book alternated between characters, but I wish it hadn't been as many as there were; it got to be too many. The book is set in North Pole, Alaska, (Somewhere I’ve been before. So that made it a little more interesting for me!) The descriptions of Alaska, the terrain, and sled dog racing were fun, accurate, and interesting to read about.
A fun, light read with a great mix of action, adventure, romance, sled dog racing, faith and Alaska. A great book anyone of any age would enjoy.
