As expected, I found myself engrossed in an exciting story filled with danger, mystery, a touch of romance, and plenty of the author&#8217;s trademark humor. I just wish I had her imagination!<\/p>\n<p>Who wouldn&#8217;t love a story about a police officer living under an assumed name on a somewhat remote island clear across the country from her west coast home &#8211; a young woman who is supposed to keep a low profile but cannot resist sticking her nose into the investigation when it is obvious that Sheriff Bozo is unable to solve the murder case. Then there is the attractive ex-Navy Seal next door. They may have got off on the wrong foot but there just may be a few sparks igniting between them.<\/p>\n<p>I loved &#8220;Hidden Currents&#8221; with all its interesting and\u00a0 sometimes unique characters, an ice cream truck that seems to have a personality of its own, and a plot that managed to keep me engaged throughout. I really like this series and can&#8217;t wait to find out what happens to Cassidy\/Cady next.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>I voluntarily reviewed a digital copy of this book provided by the author.

But her temporary home across the country on a remote North Carolina island isn\u2019t as peaceful as she initially thinks.<\/p>\n<p>Living under the new identity of Cassidy Livingston, she struggles to keep her investigative skills tucked away, especially after a body washes ashore. When local police bungle the murder investigation, she can\u2019t resist stepping in. But Cassidy is supposed to be keeping a low profile. One wrong move could lead to both her discovery and her demise.<\/p>\n<p>Can she bring justice to the island . . . or will the hidden currents surrounding her pull her under for good?<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-22754\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Christy-Barritt.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Christy-Barritt.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Christy-Barritt-150x140.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/>Christy Barritt<\/strong> loves stories and has been writing them for as long as she can remember.
