70 NORTH by Kimberley Woodhouse, Reviewed by Paula Shreckhise #ReleaseDay

ALASKAN CYBER HUNTERS #3

Two years after the diabolical 26 Below attacks and the serial killer, everyone thought was dead, resurfaces and threatens Alaska once again.
 
Ms. Woodhouse has crafted a truly evil, unbalanced villain. The Cyber Solutions team certainly has their hands full. The author definitely puts them through their pieces. She brings light to a problem that haunts Dr. Tracie Hunter. A problem that she thought she had under control until she sees that she should relinquish that control to God.
 
With lots of cyber talk and up-to-the-minute technology which could go wrong this novel covers a lot of bases. We see manipulation by a contemptible bad guy, frustration by the team and despair in Tracie. But there is also a lesson in letting God lead, conquering unforgiveness, and getting priorities straight. Mac was a credible hero with his own flaws that he was learning to overcome. But both Mac and Tracie had a network of friends who were there for them.
 
This was another stunning story with real-world implications, and deep spiritual lessons. I could not stop turning pages.

BackCover Blurb:
The Cyber Solutions team has managed to stay one step ahead of the madman who has killed so many. From the original 26 Below cyberattack in Fairbanks to the 8 DOWN serial murders in Anchorage and beyond, they matched wits with the killer and stopped him from reaching his ultimate goals.

But final judgment is coming. And this time, there may be no defeating him.

David "Mac" McPherson has a personal stake in making sure this predator stays down for good. His family died in the cyberattack. Mac knows that God says "vengeance is mine"—but surely an exception can be made.

Surgeon Tracie Hunter is determined to stay sober and keep saving lives in Fairbanks, Alaska—even if it means being a little obsessive. After all, that same kind of determination is how she kept Mac alive after the murderer targeted him. And she won't let Mac run himself into the grave looking for payback; he's come to mean too much to her.

Then someone hacks into the system at Tracie's previous job as a medical examiner and frames her in a murder cover-up. There's no one else skilled enough to create a digital trail this incriminating—the killer is back in action, exploiting cybersecurity weaknesses to destroy lives. Can Mac stay focused and stop the next attack when his own vulnerability is exposed? Or will his need to make someone pay for his pain allow the maniac to pull ahead and win at last?
