I have to first comment on this cover. It is so fierce, I just adore it. He definitely looks like someone who could get you through the forest in one piece. Let's just say that I would "hug him and pet him and squeeze him and call him George"... Okay, sorry, I just had to get that out of my head.

This book introduced us to Ellie Price, daughter of a friend of the HDG from book one. When she gets an odd call from her father, she decides that she really needs to check on him. Especially as he has suffered from some serious mental health issues.  When she gets to town, Lou from book one, helps her to hook up with George to head into the mountains looking for her dad. The majority of this book is Ellie and George alone together. Their interactions with each other really drive the book and I especially like how they overcame the obstacles to them being together in the end.

It's a good thing the books in this series has been release so close together, what with the cliffhanger endings; each one has left us with more questions that need answered. This one has quite a doozy that I totally didn't see coming and I am excited to see how things are going to turn out in the next book.

Sourcebooks Casablanca and Netgalley provided me with this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

In the remote Rocky Mountains, lives depend on the Search & Rescue brotherhood. But in a place this far off the map, trust is hard to come by and secrets can be murder...

George Holloway has spent his life alone, exploring the treacherous beauty of the Colorado Rockies. He's the best survival expert Search and Rescue has, which makes him the obvious choice to lead Ellie Price through deadly terrain to find her missing father. There's just one problem-Ellie's everything George isn't. She's a city girl, charming, gregarious, delicate, small. And when she looks up at him with those big, dark eyes, he swears he would tear the world apart to keep her safe.

With a killer on the loose, he may have no choice.

Ellie's determined to find her father no matter the cost. But as she and her gorgeous mountain of a guide fight their way through an unforgiving wilderness, they find themselves in the crosshairs of a dangerous man in search of revenge. And they are now his prey...
