Fire Mountain by Dana Mentink
About the Book
Book: Fire Mountain (Elements of Danger Series)
Author: Dana Mentink
Genre: Inspirational Romantic Suspense
Release Date: July 1, 2025
In the shadow of a threatening volcano, long-haul trucker Kit Garrido wakes up in her crashed big rig, unable to recall what happened or why she’s suddenly in possession of someone’s baby. Fiercely independent, she has to admit that perhaps this time she could use a little help.
As the threat of eruption grows, former cop Cullen Landry refuses to leave his cabin in the evacuation area, which is why he’s the only one left who can help Kit escape the crumpled cab of her truck. He doesn’t want to get tangled up in the mystery of the beautiful woman with an abandoned infant, but when he sees the bullet hole in the windshield and the bloody handprint on the interior, he realizes that he’s in this thing, like it or not.
When two armed men with ill intent approach, the race is on to stay alive, discover the truth, and find the baby’s missing mother–all while a deadly mountain rains fire from above.

More from Dana
Hello, dear readers! Are you ready to leap into the world of a woman trapped near an erupting volcano? I know. Dropping that character into circumstances where the very earth under their feet is unreliable, where they are cut off from their technology, their transportation, civilization itself with no way to summon help, feels almost cruel. Imagine you’re in a volcano eruption zone with no way out. Now add in a stranger’s baby, a vulnerable infant, , and you are their only hope to stay alive. Why am I so compelled by those scenarios? Me, the woman who loses her backpack in the airport. I believe it’s because in those difficult, stressful moments when we accept our own helplessness that the grace of God shines brightest. Real people and fictional ones survive. Wells of strength are discovered. Hidden rivers of resilience surface. Big cities, island roads, overpasses, in the shadows of volcanoes… in the darkest moments we realize we’re never truly without His help.
My Thoughts
Fire Mountain is my favorite book by Dana Mentink. I loved the suspense,
danger, and the threatening volcano. This
story was a page turner. Once I started
reading, I could not put the book down. The
author created great characters. I found
myself rooting for them (I wanted them to survive this ordeal). I enjoyed all the twists and turns that kept
me at the edge of my seat (and staying up late to see how the story would
end). There is romance as well. The vivid descriptions made me feel like I
was there with Kit and Cullen (and Tot).
I could feel their emotions as well.
I enjoyed Fire Mountain from start to finish. I can tell the author did her research on
volcanoes and it was interesting to learn about them. I like how faith was woven into the
story. Fire Mountain is a mesmerizing
story with a wrecked eighteen-wheeler, baffled about a baby, a frightening volcano,
a helpful hermit, armed men, a treacherous trek, and hopeful prayers.
