Book Beginnings + Friday 56: Mountain Survival by Christy Barritt

Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and share a non-spoilery sentence or two.

This week I'm featuring Mountain Survival by Christy Barritt. While this wasn't my favorite book from Barritt, it was still an enjoyable and compelling read. (And I LOVED Sherlock. He was such a brave and loyal dog.)

About the Book
An injured victim has disappeared…

Can a park ranger and her K-9 find him?

When search-and-rescue park ranger Autumn Mercer and her K-9 partner, Sherlock, meet a stranger in the mountains whose brother is injured, they drop everything to help. But all they find where Derek Peterson last saw his sibling is a trail of blood—and men who want them dead. With gunmen closing in, can Autumn and Derek survive long enough to save his brother?

Book Beginnings
"It's up to you, Sherlock," Autumn Mercer murmured as she knelt beside her dog. "You have to find her."

Friday 56
He scanned everything around them. On an ordinary day, he would be awestruck by the beauty surrounding him. But right now, all of this just felt like a big trap they were unable to escape.

  2. Sounds good. I like stories with dogs in them. This week I'm spotlighting The Left-Handed Booksellers of London by Garth Nix. Happy reading!

    1. I haven't read many about park rangers. It's an interesting job that lends itself really well to these types of stories though. Thanks for visiting! :)
