Excellent character development

Her characters were well developed and it helped the reader identify with them! The bad guy was bad, but it was clear that God was stronger. It was inspiring and adventurous. Totally recommend.

Excellent Story!

If you could sum up Treasures of the North in three words, what would they be?

Great ! Great! Great!

Which character – as performed by Laural Merlington – was your favorite?

Laural is by far the most outstanding narrator ever! She has a different voice for every character! Each one is completely different so that you know who is speaking.
accolades to Laural!!!

Any additional comments?

Tracie Peterson is one of my favorite authors, every book keeps me glued to the story. The problem is I can't put it down, she keeps me wanting more. Every book she writes does the same!

The Yukon Queen.

Any additional comments?

The narrator did an excellent job reading this book. Her voice was so well for all the characters and kept me wanting to hear more. I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book.

It was sweet but not my preference

This wasn’t a complete waste of time but I enjoy deeper romances (nothing erotic) and I would’ve liked it to have more suspense. I could see this being an appropriate book for a 14 year old girl.

Great characters

The story was beautiful. I loved the characters! Tracie is one of my favorite writers.

Only ok read

The story line was promising but failed to excite. The narrator was boring many times. Just too flat.
