Under the Midnight Sun

Under the Midnight Sun by Tracie Peterson and Kimberly Woodhouse is a delightful read! I don’t read as many books of historical fiction as I did in years past, but this book quickly absorbed my attention. It quickly sucks you into an entirely different world and setting. I particularly loved the part set in Alaska. The story and the characters were also well developed and interesting. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a great story. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will go back and buy the first two to catch up. I'm a big national park fan anyway, and Denali is one I'm very keen to visit. I loved that the characters jumped from the pages right away and that the baddie was treacherous vs the hero who was conflicted but solidly good. The backdrop of Denali and the workings of the earliest national parks was fascinating and I'd highly recommend this book. I haven't read the collaborative writings of Peterson and Woodhouse but will certainly be correcting that.

Under the Midnight Sun is a book that shows just how far some people are willing to go when they're afraid. They will lie, cheat, and steal in order to maintain their farce and they don't care who goes down in the process so long as they can get what they want.
Given an array of viewpoints throughout the story allows the reader to see different aspects of the land and deeper insights into characters we might not hear from otherwise. Since I have not read the rest of the books in this series, I don't know them as well as I would like, but I felt this book was a perfect ending to the series while managing to stand alone.
I love that I could not tell which author wrote which part of the book. Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse created a seamless story that was well told and beautifully expressed. I was pleasantly surprised by the ending and grateful these two authors chose to step outside the typical conflict to make a better story.
The characters were well-developed and I appreciated the deep insight and thoughtful conversations among the staff and friends who felt like family.
I requested a copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.
