He turned and lifted another piece of wood. my foot came free as he reached for me again. I grabbed on and he heaved, and a few clatters of wood later, I was out. The man was covered in bearskin. He held tight to my hand as he led me to flat ground.

  1. Sounds interesting. I read the first in this series and will be adding this one to my wishlist. I'm spotlighting The Shadowy Horses by Susanna Kearsley which was a read/listen combo for me. Happy reading!

  2. That's my favorite time of day/night too. Twilight. I've never experienced an Alaskan twilight though. I hope you are enjoying Cold Wind. I like that cover. It's not a book I am familiar with, although the author's name sounds familiar. I hope you enjoy it!

    1. I love Twilight also. The most peaceful time of day it seems.
      This book was very good but I believe I would have enjoyed it much more if I would have had time to read the first book, THIN ICE. It made some references to that one but not enough for me to get a good feel for it.
      Thank you for stopping by and have a great weekend.
