The tide is high, and so is the danger on Lantern Beach.
Still in hiding after infiltrating a dangerous gang, Cassidy Livingston just has to make it a few more months before she can testify at trial and resume her old life. But trouble keeps finding her, and Cassidy is pulled into a local investigation after a man mysteriously disappears from the island she now calls home.
A recurring nightmare from her time undercover only muddies things, as does a visit from the parents of her handsome ex-Navy SEAL neighbor. When a friend's life is threatened, Cassidy must make choices that put her on the verge of blowing her cover.
With a flood watch on her emotions and her life in a tangle, will Cassidy find the truth? Or will her past finally drown her?

My Thoughts:
Flood Watch is the
second book in the Lantern Beach series by Christy Barritt with Hidden Currents being the first book.
You can read Flood Watch without
actually reading Hidden Currents. But
there is information in the first one to explain why Cassidy is at Lantern
Beach, even though Barritt does hint about the reasons in Flood Watch. The
romance between Cassidy and Ty's kicks-up a notch when Ty's parents drop by
unexpectedly, and Ty asks Cassidy to pretend to be his girlfriend. Funny things
happen. Romantic things happen. Arguments happens. Just like I expect from
Cassidy and Ty. While they are figuring out their emotions for each other, a
missing produce man comes onto the scene and figures the death at Skye, their
friend. The hunt is afoot. Cassidy and Ty work together to try to solve the
mystery. Around every turn, something goes wrong, and Cassidy tries really hard
not to give her real self away to anyone. I really enjoyed the quick and easy
to read mystery. I finished it one evening. I figured out the bad guy before
Barritt told me but don't worry. It doesn't ruin the story. I really enjoyed
this story and can't wait for Storm Surge, which releases next month.
My Rating:
4.5 out of 5 stars
