A sabotaged
plane. Two dead deep-water divers.
One single clue.
Bailey Craig vowed never
to set foot in Yancey, Alaska, again.
She has a past, and a reputation—and Yancey’s a town that doesn’t
forget. She’s returned only to
bury a loved one killed in the plane crash, but then dark evidence emerges and
Bailey’s own expertise becomes invaluable for the case.
Cole McKenna can face
dangerous rescue dives. He can
face the fear a murderer may be threatening his town. But facing the reality of Bailey’s reappearance is a tougher
challenge. She broke his heart…but
doesn’t seem to be the same girl who left Yancey ten years ago. And he’s not the same guy she left
behind.
Racing against the clock
and a rising body count, Bailey and Cole must move beyond the hurts of their
pasts to work together until the truth of what is hidden in the depths finally
surfaces.
My
Thoughts:
This
sucked me in right from the beginning.
We get a good look at how things we do in our teens can scar us. It doesn’t matter if we come to the
Lord and he takes away our sins, we have a tendency to hold on to things because
we thing we don’t deserve forgiveness.
This is how Bailey
feels. When she has to return to
the home of her teen years she believes EVERYONE will remember her the way she
was and not see her for the person she has become. I loved how Cole could see the difference and instead of
pushing Bailey to recognize and accept the change in herself he prayed that God
would open her eyes.
The
suspense was awesome. I know this
is only the first book in the series.
I can’t wait to find out more about Landon and Jake, and the mysterious
missing brother Reef. We were left
with just a small look at their character. There is so much more to be learned. If you are looking for a book that will
hold you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end, this is it. If you are looking for a book that has
a Godly message but doesn’t preach at you, then this is definitely the book for
you. You will fall in love with
Piper who is one of the kindest,
most loving people. She would do
anything for you. Cole is the very
protective brother who runs the business with his siblings. Gage is the bottomless
pit who always has Coles back as long as he is well fed. Kayden comes off as
tough. It is almost as if she
THINKS she must prove herself to be equal in a man’s world.
Landon the
cop, and Jake the mysterious man who drifted into Yancey and works for Cole
leave us wanting to know more of their life.
I must
mention one other thing about this book.
I would never have thought I would become interested in Russian
History. This book not only
teaches you a lot of Russian History, but if you are like me, you feel you must
do more reading on the subject. I
love books that make me want to learn more. I will definitely recommend this author and look forward to
reading more of her books. Shattered, the second book in her series should be out in February of 2013.
