In Sabotaged, Alaska’s iconic Iditarod sled race becomes a race against danger of a different kind for Kirra Jacobs and the McKenna family.
The actual Iditarod race doesn’t start for another 22 days (you can view the official website here), but I thought it would be fun to have our own competition here on the blog. Whether you’re a long-time McKenna fan who wants to help promote the series or a newcomer to Dani Pettrey’s suspense novels, here are some fun “checkpoints” to celebrate Sabotaged’s release.
The Grand Prize winner will receive a BHP suspense package, including the entire Alaskan Courage series, Deadly Echoes by Nancy Mehl, and an autographed hardcover copy of Unspoken by Dee Henderson. And, just for fun, a $20 Starbucks gift card so you can drink something warm while reading to keep the winter chill away.
Three second prize winners will receive a copy of Sabotaged (or Submerged, the first in the series, if they prefer).
To enter: the only thing you have to do to enter the race is comment on this blog post with name of your favorite book in the Alaskan Courage series. (I know, I know…it’s an impossible question.)
However, the more checkpoints you complete, the more chances you’ll have to win. Here are the categories you’ll find in the base camp entry form at the end of the blog post:
Checkpoint One: Visit Dani’s Sabotaged Pinterest board. If you have a Pinterest account, pin the book cover on one of your boards! If you don’t, enter in the form what Russian item comes into play in this story (a picture of it is pinned on the board).
Checkpoint Two: Share on Facebook which McKenna character you get from this quiz. (There’s a social media share feature at the end of it so you can pass it along to all your reader friends!)
Checkpoint Three: Visit this contest or this interview for Sabotaged on The Christian Manifesto and comment on one of the posts. (If you want to enter the giveaway while you’re there, that’s great too!)
Checkpoint Four: Comment on or share a post from Dani’s author Facebook page. (Make sure you’ve “liked” it too!)
This “base camp” entry form will be open until the end of February 18! Be sure to enter and spread the word to your friends—the race is on!
Hmm, Submerged as it is the intro to this fabulous series.
Debbie Shawver
Shattered. But I do love them all.
I enjoy ice skating!
Deadly Echos!
Silenced or Shattered … too close to call!
I’ll have to go with Submerged since it’s the only one in the series I’ve read so far 🙂
Submerged but I am looking forward to reading Sabotaged
I haven’t read them yet, I am about to begin. My favorite winter activity is to watch it snow with a cup of coffee and a good book!
I haven’t had the privilege to read this series yet. But I would love to win!
Silenced!
Submerged
Wow! What a question. That’s almost like asking which one of my kids is my favorite…. If I HAD to choose one, I guess I’d go with Submerged because that was where the Dani Pettrey adventure began.
I haven’t had the opportunity to read any of the books in the Alaskan Courage series, but they look wonderful! My favorite winter activity would have to be sledding and then curling up on the couch to read a good book!
I havent had a chance to read any of the books.
Each story is so unique but they all have the same thread of family cohesiveness, forgiveness, and reconciliation. I think I liked Sabotaged the best because Reef made a great lead character and you could look back over the series and see how much he had grown.
Shattered so far.
I liked Submerged as it dealt with the scuba diving.
I would love too win this full set.
oh.hello.hiya@gmail.com
I haven’t read any books in the series yet but it’s on my To Read List.
Sabotaged is a fun name for suspense!
Shattered!
So far Shattered. I’m reading Silenced now and still have Sabotaged to go too!
My favorite winter activity is probably sledding!
It’s really hard to choose! but I think Shattered it my favorite so far but I haven’t read Sabotaged yet!
Shattered is my favorite. I love Landon and Pipers story.
I have only been able to read Submerged so far so I guess that’s my favorite.
I like them all but if I had to pick…oh, I can’t because they’re all my favorites!
you know i really havent read any that are in the series yet thank you for your generosity
Shattered is my favorite! I really loved Landon and Piper!
I, unfortunately, haven’t read this series yet! But I can’t wait to get my hands on one!
I LOVED all of them, but my absolute favorite? Submerged. Something about that one, which was the second I read, just grabbed me – and I’ve loved it ever since!
Super excited about the Sabotaged Release Race. Awesome post!!! Thank you so very mush :))) Okay, really bad pun, but couldn’t resist.
I love all of the books but Submerged is probably my favorite.
I wouldlove to read these books.
So hard to pick a favorite, but Jake and Kayden’s relationship had me from the first book, so I’d have to go with Silenced, but Sabotaged and Shattered are both a close second.
Haven’t had a chance to read this series. I do enjoy skiing.
I haven’t read them yet, but would love to. TY for the chance.
Submerged!! Only because it was the beginning of a great series. They are all great books!
Shattered
So far, I have only read the first one, Submerged, and it was terrific. Look forward to reading the others.
Submerged. Didn’t read the others yet. Looking forward to reading the whole series.
Silenced as it’s the only one I have.. YET!
I’d have to say Submerged. The first book in a series tends to be my favorite since it introduces new characters.
Submerged….and, I love to make snow ice cream!!!!
Cannot possibly choose…love them all and starting Sabotaged!
Silenced
My favorite is Shattered. I loved Piper and Landon’s story! I loved the books, but theirs somehow was my fave!
I’ve not read the Alaskan Courage Series. My favorite winter activity is staying inside with a cuppa hot tea and a good book….;)
Shattered. Love this series.
Submerged is my favorite!
Silenced
I love them all, but Submerged was my first, so it stays my favorite.
I love her books! Looking forward to the new one
I just recently discovered this awesome series, so I am still working on Submerged, but can’t wait to read all of them!
Haven’t read the books yet. I was born in Alaska so I try to read any Christian fiction books set in Alaska. My favorite winter activity is to play in the snow with my kids.
Love submerged!
Ahhh! How to decide!? I loved every single one of the Alaskan Courage books! I was never a big fan of romance novels until I read Submerged, and now I can’t seem to put them down. 😉 Although I adored all five books, I’d have to say Shattered is my favorite. 🙂 Can’t wait for the new series next year! 🙂
Submerged! Loved her debut novel!
I haven’t read any of the series yet, but I want to!
My favorite is Submerged, but all of them are really good!
How do I choose a favorite??? I guess I would have to say Submerged, because that is when I fell in love with the characters and knew that I found a new favorite author! Can’t wait for the next series!
Shattered but they have all been great.
These books would look great on my lilbrary shelf!
Stranded. Although, they all have been awesome.
I have not read any, but i sure would like to, so please pick me thanks
Shirley Blanchard jcisforme@aol.com
I’ve read all of them and Submerged is my fav! Gotta stick with the original!
What a hard choice. I really liked them all! I do think that Submerged was my favorite. Can’t wait to read more of her books!
I love the stories from Dani and Dee. My favorite book was Stranded.
I’d have to say Submerged.
This is such a difficult choice!! But I am picking Submerged – not because its my favorite because I loved them all, but because that was the one that introduced me to the series and to this amazing author! Thank you Bethany House and Dani Pettrey – I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to read all five books!!
I love the cover for Sabatoged so guess that is the one. I havent read any as I want to read the whole series together!
I love them all, but Silenced is definitely my favorite! I love Kayden and Jake’s story!
Ah too many great ones to choose from but I will say submerged.
Shattered is the first book I was able to find this week so I guess it must be my favorite. Lol. I really do like it so far and would like to read Submerged and the rest of the books.
Silenced!
Stranded is the only book in the series that I have read (so far), so obviously that one is my currant favorite.
Shattered
Stranded!
Sabotaged. Loved the Iditarod setting.
I’ve only read the first 3 so far. I think I liked Shattered the best. I can hardly wait to read the last 2. It’s hard to pick a favorite though.
There’s a Faberge Egg posted on the Pinterest site. Thank you for offering this giveaway! And I’d especially love to win the Dani Pettrey books and the Starbucks giftcard! 🙂 and my favorite book is Shattered with Landon and Piper.
My favorite winter activity is reading….I love reading a book and drinking hot apple cider!
I LOVE reading suspense and have enjoyed every book in the series! I can’t wait to read Sabotaged!!!
Silenced is my favorite! The build up to it was one of the reasons.
Shattered!
Silenced! I love Kayden’s story!
I liked all equally, but I’ll choose Submerged since it was what turned me on to reading your books.
Love them all, but Submerged is my favorite. Can’t wait to read Sabotaged!
Hard to pick, but i would have to say Shattered… 🙂
Stranded 🙂
I have not read them yet, but would love to!
It’s been awhile since I’ve read them, so I don’t remember which is my favorite, but I’ve enjoyed them all.
I haven’t read them yet so I don’t have a favorite…
Love them all but my favorite is Shattered.
Which book in the Alaskan Courage series is your favorite? (Or, if you haven’t read any, what’s your favorite winter activity?)
Since I really like Piper and her story, and I’m a fan of romances that come out of long time friendships, I’d have to say Shattered is my favorite.
Submerged. It sucked me in for the series.
i loved them all! Shattered might be my favorite if I had to choose.
Shattered! I read that one first and had to go back and read the rest!
I have Submerged, but haven’t had a chance to read it yet. So I will choose Submerged.
I haven’t read this series – just discovered the books through Ronie Kendig’s comments. This would be a perfect set for me!
Stranded is my favorite because Gage is my favorite character because I relate to him the most out of the McKennas.
Haven’t read any of these yet! But my favorite winter hobby to do is read! It’s the best time to read because I stay in the house more!
Submerged. Loved the Indiana jones type stuff! Also, I think I liked it because it was the first one I had read and was SO excited that another GOOD Christian suspense author was out there! Love suspense…Christian based has taught me a lot and helped me grow in my relationship with God.
Stranded
I haven’t read this series yet so my favorite winter activity is to be inside reading a good book, with a hot drink, roaring fire in the fireplace, hanging out with my hubby! Thanks for the giveaway!
I’ve just discovered this fabulous author….so Submerged is the first book I have read…and I loved it!
I haven’t had the pleasure of reading any of the books in the series yet, but am looking forward to doing so. I love to go sledding in the winter! 🙂
Landon and Piper in Submerged are adorable. So, of course, I absolutely fangirl over Shattered.
My favorite of the series is Shattered…
#relationshipgoals
Sledding. I haven’t read any of these yet, but am adding them to my list!
Shattered! I started with it, rather than Submerged (I know, I cheated) but it definitely was my favorite!
I haven’t read any so I don’t have a favorite.
Silenced as I love Kayden and Jake’s story and how it develops. I love them all really.
Oh wow i don’t know if i can choose.. But i love Submerged.
Haven’t read them yet, but hope to.
susanlulu@yahoo.com
That is a hard one to answer I love them all! Silenced I guess
I have enjoyed and loved Submerged, Shattered and Stranded. I hate to pick just one, but I’ll have to give the edge to Shattered.
Stranded is my favorite so far.
Submerged…Loved it!
Submerged…. love how it all started
SIlenced. But I haven’t read the last one yet!
I’ve only read Submerged so far, so for now that’s my favorite!
Submerged! Reading it now and love it!
I like Shattered the best… But so hard to choose.
Shattered is my favorite so far….I think….it is really hard to choose just one!
I loved Submerged. Haven’t read all of them but am looking forward to it!
Haven’t read them yet, but I’m looking forward to some spring break reading!!
Dee Henderson was the first Christisn Fiction author I ever read and since that first book Rescuer, I have been hooked.
Submerged is my fave so far!
Shattered! Have enjoyed this series occuring in my home state!
I have just discovered this series, so I haven’t read any yet. My favorite winter activity is sleigh rides!!!! My Dad participated in the first sled race that became the Anchorage Rendezvous!
Submerged! !
Oh my! It’s so hard to choose just one! Hummm….. Submerged is slightly above the others but just slightly 🙂
Yay love these fun giveaways…about to get another blizzard here in new england but luckily I got some great books to read but more would be totally great!
Silenced was my favorite book because I love kayden and jakes story!
Shattered 😀
Shattered is probably my favorite in the series, I just love Piper and Landon (and really the whole McKenna clan)
Deadly Echo
Submerged 🙂
Submerged
I really love them all, but if I had to pick…Shattered, maybe?! Landon and Piper had a TON of fun chemistry. But I also loved Stranded. THIS IS TOO HARD. Lol!
Shattered was my favorite!
I’ve only read submerged so far so I guess that is my favorite right now. 🙂 looking forward to reading the others.
Stranded
I haven’t read any of your books yet Dani. I’ve read excerpts and participated in webinars, book banters, and other activities and have read your newsletter for quite awhile.
I can’t decide! I think submerged. I’ve always been fascinated with Russia. 🙂
I’ve loved this series and can’t wait to read the new one. I liked Shattered and Silenced best so far.
I don’t know would like to win the full set then I can vote! 😜
I love them all, but I think Silenced was my favorite.
I have to say it’s a tie between Submerged and Stranded. But I think I’m leaning more towards Submerged.
Submerged. First books are always the best and what hooks you.
I haven’t read any of them so that’s why I would love to win this set!
I have only read two…Submerged and Shattered. It was a toss up. I love Shattered.
My favorite would be Shattered. But I have loved them all!
Shattered
They are all really good! It’s hard to pick just one!
All of them!! But if I have to choose a favorite it would be “Shattered”😁
I’ve never read them because this is the first I’ve ever heard of the series. But can I still enter!? Sounds really interesting and would love to read them!!
Silenced!!! Although i really really love them all (and can’t wait to read Sabotaged) i really liked Kayden and Jake but i also really liked the rest of the family. 🙂
Of the ones I have read, I think I liked Stranded or Sabotaged best so far. I have not yet read Silenced.
I haven’t read any yet, but I love this genre and I will be reading them now that I know about them!!
This is a new series for me, and I am so excited to get started. I spent a summer in Alaska, volunteering at a camp and with summer programs. I loved the time I spent there!
I like the book Shattered.
Dede
Would love to read the books. My favorite winter activity is photographing the dazzling winter scenery AFTER the storms.
currently reading Piper’s story.
I would say Submerged because that is where is started. Can’t really pick a favorite!
Favorite winter activity would probably be reading in a cozy chair with a blanket and a mug of hot chocolate. It may be cliché, but it’s what I enjoy!
Shattered
Wow, I think that my favorite book in the Alaskan Courage Series is Shattered. Great plot and relatable characters! Thanks for the giveaway!
Hard to choose, but I think I liked Shattered the best. I love the entire series.
I loved the all the books. I usually don’t go back to a book I have read, except Dee Henderson books, but I am about to start the Alaskan Courage series again.
Submerged is my favorite. The mystery really drew me in. It was fun being introduced to the characters.
Shattered
I really liked Submerged. 🙂
I loved Submerged! =) I haven’t read them all yet, but I have them all on hold at the library.
I’ve actually never read any of the books in the series. But I’d love to!!
Haven’t read any of this series yet, but enjoy hiking in the snow.
Would say Submerged because it is the only one I have. Would be wonderful to have them all. Sounds like a fun contest.
I haven’t read any yet…I love sledding with my boys 🙂
Stranded is my favorite so far, but I’m so looking forward to the release of Sabotaged. I follow the Iditarod year round and love the race.
I loved Stranded and am halfway through Sabotaged, but loving it as well!
Submerged was my favorite! I don’t read a whole lot of contemporary novels and Pettrey really won me over with how realistic characters like Bailey and Cole were. =)
(Zekkaina)
I really enjoyed all of them especially as I got to sorting out who all the individuals were in the family and the part they each played.
I really enjoyed all of the books so far, but Stranded was probably my favorite!
I like all of them, but Submerged is my favorite.
Submerged to start with since I haven’t read any of them yet.
I’d say Submerged, only because I haven’t read Sabotaged yet and it could be my favorite, I just don’t know yet!
This is impossible…each story dealt with tough issues in inspiring ways with amazing characters! I’m going to say the last book…Stranded, because of the story material. It has stayed with me when I think of this series. It also makes me wish I had a bigger family to share in all our own adventures! It would rock to be a McKenna sibling! I loved all their stories and enjoyed living vicariously through their adventures, too!
I love them all, but will say Submerged because that’s when I fell in love with the family.
I have loved this series. I finished that last book a few days ago!! Thank you so much for allowing us the privilege of reading these!! My favorites were all of them! (Though I especially liked the Jake/Kayden connection, so book #4 could technically be my favorite.) The McKenna family is hard not to love!
Submerged!
This is really fascinating, You’re an excessively skilled blogger.
