When a busload of schoolchildren disappears, Phoenix Gray knows the kidnapper is the unidentified serial killer she’s spent her life trying to catch.

My Thoughts on Terminal Danger

Terminal Danger is the last book in the Guardians series, and I just don’t know what to think about that. It seems wrong!  These are my friends!  How can they just up and leave me!?

This book tells us the tale of Phoenix Gray.  She’s the founder of the group.  But we’ve never really known her backstory.  She’s been the mysterious leader through the whole series.  So, I was excited to learn about her and what made her tick/why she started the group and what her motivation was.  

But also I just love coming back and seeing old friends too.  Each book focuses on a different member of the team, but you get to catch up with the others in each book as well, as they’re still part of the team.  So, theoretically, you could read these books in any order, but I always advocate reading them in the order they were written and meant to be read in.  

Now, for this specific book. 

In this book, our fearless Phoenix K9 team is after a serial killer. A bus full of children has disappeared, and they are sure it’s this guy’s signature, and he has them. Phoenix(and her team) are determined to catch him this time.

Also determined to catch and put away this serial killer is Callum. He’s with the FBI. Can they work together? Are sparks going to fly? You can probably guess they are.

This is a fast-paced book. There is a lot going on. I did find that I needed to pay attention to the novel. I couldn’t be reading with one eye and watching my kids with the other, or I had to re-read some sections. This was because it moved so quickly.

So, I was up late at night reading it. I’d put the kids to bed, start reading, and keep going until my youngest woke up needing me. Thankfully, I’m a fast reader. And thankfully, I don’t get scared of things that go bump in the night easily. Part of that might be due to my own K9, Rudy, who is a Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd cross who would easily take down any and all bad guys. I did still lock my doors, though.

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book, which I received from Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review, nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

More from Jerusha

Ever since I read Dee Henderson’s O’Malley Series, I’ve been hooked on a special kind of series. You probably can guess what that is. The team series premise!

In Henderson’s masterful Christian romantic suspense series, the “team” is a group of found-family siblings. I love sibling series in which each book features a member of the same family.

But another kind of team series that I enjoy reading is where the characters aren’t related but are bound together by a common job or cause.

Since I love reading team series, I couldn’t wait to write one of my own!

Thus, the Guardians Unleashed Series was born.

Guardians Unleashed follows the five women operatives of the Phoenix K-9 Security and Detection Agency. Named after the founder and CEO, Phoenix Gray, this agency pairs each woman with talented K-9s who help them rescue and protect people in need.

From search and rescue to bomb detection and protection from assassination attempts, the operatives and K-9s of the PK-9 Agency can do it all.

When big or unusually challenging jobs come along, the women and their dogs tackle the assignment together. I love how the Guardians Unleashed series has one of my favorite elements of team series—the team members bond so closely with each other that they become a family of their own!

As the final book in the Guardians Unleashed series, readers had high expectations for Terminal Danger.

After all, it’s the story of Phoenix Gray, the secretive and mysterious woman who fearlessly leads her operatives into—and out of—danger.

Phoenix Gray was the most challenging character I’ve ever had to write, thanks to her high intelligence, psychological complexity, and emotional unavailability. But with much help from the Lord, this book came together as well as I had hoped.

One aspect of Terminal Danger that I and readers have enjoyed most is getting to see every team member of the PK-9 Agency again. They come together as a family for their hardest mission ever, and each character plays an important role while readers get the fun of seeing them with their heroes and dogs.

Ultimately, the people and dogs Phoenix brought together for their benefit and the benefit of others may also play an important role in her own life.

Your turn! What do you love about the team series?
