Social worker Jordan Bia finds a child who escaped her captors and a life in the sex trade, but four other girls from her small Mexican village were not so lucky. Smugglers hide their human cargo in the hoodoos of a remote canyon on the reservation—a place the Navajo shun, fearful of the witches who practice their black rituals and feast on the dark energy of evil. Mysterious rites, omens of death, and bodies litter the canyon. When she meets Navajo police officer Sam Tohee, sparks fly fueled by the danger of hunting men who buy and sell little girls. Techno-savvy Jordan plots to trap the smugglers and free the rest of the children, but unless she and Sam can find the power to defeat the witches she may not live long enough to save the girls.

I call Austin, Texas home now after working on the East and West coasts, the Rocky Mountains, and an island in the Gulf of Mexico. I've come full circle to live and work close to the farm my family settled in the 1850's.

Truth is stranger than fiction, and years in the news business provided lots of peculiar characters and stories to write about. My books are set in my favorite places, the desert canyons and high mountains of the American West.

Great plot but horrible (!!) grammar and punctuation! Bad punctuation, missed words, and extra words not edited out slow down the flow of reading and drives me nuts! It also looks very unprofessional to me, but I suppose someday soon authors will be writing books on their phones, probably dictating into an app so books will be as professionally written as the app used. There were also many holes in the details surrounding the story. The cheesy, unbelievable scenarios and missing explanations made a good story not so plausible. However, I am a retired Social Worker, and the author had details of the profession down pat. I only found one detail, in regards to social work, of a scenario that would likely never happen. Forgivable, since it helped the story flow. Also, the author has a great vocabulary. She used words appropriate to the situations and in descriptions that I don't hear every day. She also had beautiful prose when describing spiritual experiences.
Overall, I would have loved the book of it would have been better edited.

Desert Heat

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 1, 2015

3 1/2 Stars
I liked this story. Liked how it gave us some of the inner workings of The Nation.

The story concept itself was nice. It had a good flow to it most of the time. There were parts that seemed to drag for me, that I found myself skimming.

Sam started off as a likeable character, then he turned into an @$$ for a while. Jordan forgave him way to quickly in my opinion. I would have made him grovel a bit.

This is book 2 of the series but can be read as a stand alone. The characters were written well for the most part, the storyline was interesting and the descriptions to details were nicely done but a little over the top in some areas and not enough in others. As for the hot naughty bits, no heat what so ever. A touch here, a grab there and bam, all done.

So, would I recommend this book? Yes

Would I read more from this author? Probably, because I did enjoy the first book and liked this for the most part.

Was expecting more.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 11, 2016

I liked that the book touched on the beliefs of the Navajo. I didn't like the speed that the relationship unfolded. I was also very distracted by the poor editing, and found I would need to back up a couple of lines to get the full impact. It was a good story, but it seemed rushed.

I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Intriguing mix of paranormal and intrigue

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 27, 2016

Fast paced and flowing, this books delves into human trafficking with a touch of paranormal activity. Sam and Jordan's love story flows along this background, with both of them having emotional hurts on their backstory, the path to each other is rocky and the author does a good job of bringing it all together.

The overall plot of trafficking was well done and brought to light in a way that tugs at your heart string and wants you to do something and cheer for the people who fight this injustice.

A well written book that kept me on the edge, I would read more from this author.

I received a copy of this book from Reading alley and publisher and voluntarily reviewed it.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 6, 2017

Interesting characters and unique story telling. You like the chemistry between Navaho police officer Sam Tohee and Social Worker Jordan Bia. Though they meet under dangerous circumstances they had a steamy connection. It had a little bit of everything and kept you interested until the very end. So if you get a chance,pick yp a copy and check it out.
