Carnival (Tin Star K9 Series), my eleventh read from author Jodi Burnett. A 34-page short read continuing the trend of well-written, enjoyable books, it caught my attention in the opening pages & I never put it down until completed. Burnett has created a complete world in which her primary characters interact with an ever expanding world of repeat characters, some very familiar from her other series. I went out & purchased a Kindle copy of this book when I heard of its release and I'm voluntarily leaving a review." I look forward to reading more in this series & from this author. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

When Deputy US Marshal Caitlyn Reed stops to give her dog Renegade a pit stop, she’s surprised and annoyed when he runs off and doesn’t follow her instructions. When she finally catches up with him, she discovers that they’re in an abandoned carnival and they’re not alone. Finding children needing to be rescued, Caitlyn and Renegade must take out the bad guys and get the kids to safety. Easier said than done.

This was a very quick read with danger and lots of action.

I love Jodi Burnett’s K9 series, so I was excited when the email came yesterday telling me about the book sale. I even paid Canadian prices on Amazon.ca only to be disappointed to discover that I was reading what amounted to a one chapter novella (approx 35 pages). I opened the book at 10pm and was finished well before 10:30 totally disappointed thus the 1 star rating.

Heart-thumping adventure of Caitlyn and Renegade

Super fast-paced and action-packed yet keeps all the important details and feel of the Tin Star series. Only problem: it was over too quickly!

Nice quick read

Great book that is a quick read. As always Renagade comes through to save the day. I half expected this story to fall forward into the next book. I kind of hope it does, giving us the back story of the Cobb trio.

Tim Star K-9 Novella

Scary!! Caitlin and Ren stop along side of the road on the way home for her engagement party. She tried to call Colt but there was n phone service. This is a short story that takes place right before the Justice novel. Worth reading. Enjoy!
