Book Review - Sunrise (Sky King Ranch, #1) by Susan May Warren

 

Pilot Dodge Kingston was meant to be the heir to Sky King Ranch but, after a terrible family fight he left home to become a pararescue jumper. He returns home a decade later after a troubling family accident. He knows that everything he left behind is waiting for him including, his childhood best friends and ex-girlfriend, Echo Yazzie.

Echo is a true Alaskan woman, she is a homesteader and a dogsledder while being an outdoor guide. Dodge  feels that her lifestyle could get her hurt or worse, killed. He is worried that one day she will get lost in the woods again, and he won't be there to help her.

While on a nature expedition, one of Echo's fellow researcher goes missing. Echo is desperate to find her even though there is an ongoing blizzard and a rogue grizzling terrorizing the woods. Will Echo be able to find her before the storm kicks in?

The novel had beautiful and lush descriptions of Alaska but, sometimes there was too many details. I also felt overwhelmed by the amount of people that was introduced in the beginning and many of them didn't really add to the story. It took awhile before I found myself getting interested into the story only to find out that the story ends with several cliffhangers. It was an okay read but, I thought that the author could have cut down the length of the book.
