Book description:
An elusive killer. A false identity. A deadly maze of lies.
When Coast Guard Investigative Service Special Agent LOGAN PERRY’s beloved grandfather is murdered, Logan races to his hometown of Cauldron Creek, New Mexico to investigate the murder. His teammate and friend, EMMY THORTON, insists on joining him. Not a good idea—not when he loves her, but carries a secret that he knows will tear them apart.
Emmy knows Logan will pursue the investigation no matter the cost, and she won’t let the man she loves plunge into a dangerous situation alone. She needs to be at his side, even if he believes friendship is her only reason for joining him.
What looks like a robbery gone wrong rapidly shifts, drawing Emmy and Logan into a dizzying maze where nothing is as it appears. Every lead slips through their fingers as threats against them grow deadlier at each turn. Having only each other to rely on, their love for one another deepens, but will they live long enough to admit their attraction to each other?
They’re in the killer’s sights. One wrong move puts their future together and their lives on the line.
My review:
This has been an awesome series, and it kind of ended with Deadly Shallows, the third book in the series.
However, readers wanted Logan and Emmy's story, so if I understand correctly that is why this book came about. And it is shorter than the other three, coming in at 210 pages.
Though shorter in length, this book was still awesome. (But is it possible for this author to not write an awesome book?!) It was different from the rest in a couple of ways: the rest of the team were not in most of the book, and their role was different.
I loved the characters in these books, but Logan has been a favorite. For most of the series, he was pretty much an agnostic or atheist, and fought against Christian ideals and beliefs. He had an implied conversion in book #3, and is a full out Christian in this book. It was cool to see such a change in him. Yeah, fictional character...but still cool.
Also different: Logan investigating the murder of a family member.
This book was a great way to wind up the series, and had everything one could want in a suspense novel: great suspense, a great plot, terrific characters whose interplay and relationship was fun and entertaining, romance, and of course bad guys. It did keep me guessing to what was going on, and had a great conclusion to both the suspense and the long brewing romance.
Looking forward to what this author has coming next.
