By Kelly Bridgewater
When one Coast Guard officer is found dead and another goes
missing, Coast Guard Investigative Service special agent Finn Walker faces his
most dangerous crime yet. His only clues are what little evidence remains
aboard the dead officer's boat, and the direction the clues point to
will test Finn and the Guard to their limits.
When investigative reporter--and Finn's boss's sister--Gabby Rowley arrives, her unrelenting questions complicate an already volatile situation. Now that she's back, the tug on Finn's heart is strong, but with the risks she's taking for her next big story, he fears she might not live through it.
Thrown together by the heinous crime, Finn and Gabby can't ignore the sparks or judgments flying between them. But will they be able to see past their preconceptions long enough to track down an elusive killer, or will they become his next mark?

My Thoughts:
Dani Pettrey definitely knows what is required to
create a romantic suspense. I adore how
she creates a whole cast of brave heroines and heroes to fill her stories. By
entering into a new story, Pettrey invites her readers into a world that
becomes real and unique. In Killing Tide,
readers are introduced to a team of Coast Guard Investigative Services that are
as close as family. They spend time together, caring for each other inside and
outside the job. The characters are memorable, yet brave. Gabby has a past that
Pettrey hints out and doesn't resolve by the end of the first edition. While
Finn has a past too, but Pettrey didn't keep it hidden from the readers. The
romance between Finn and Gabby flourishes and sparks from the past romance they
shared. Killing Tide is a death-defying
story of chasing buried treasures and uncovering the truth of a boat explosion
and castrophy of a dead man. The story captured my attention pretty quickly,
and Pettrey didn't let go until the last hair-raising moment. I enjoyed spending
time with these characters and can't wait to see what dilemma they find
themselves in for the next story.
I received a complimentary copy of The Killing Tide by Dani Pettrey from Bethany House Publishers, but
the opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating:
4.5 out of 5 stars
Purchase The KillingTide
