MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have enjoyed Dani Pettrey’s books since I read the first one. Her development of a plot is inspired and I love how realistic her characters are portrayed – flaws and all.<\/p>\n

Speaking of flaws, heroine Gabby was a bit difficult to like but that may have been the author’s intention. Having returned home for safety’s sake after an attempt on her life, instead of keeping her head down and allowing others to help protect her, Gabby was constantly going off on her own to investigate a crime, sometimes taking others with her. Hard-headed for certain, Gabby often seemed a bit selfish as she ignored advice from others. And how she tortured poor Finn – knowing she loved him but so determined to follow her career instead of love.<\/p>\n

If one wants a book filled with action, mystery, and suspense, The Killing Tide<\/em> would be a good choice with its details about the Coast Guard investigative team. I enjoyed the scenes where I felt like I was observing the team at work. It is a fun to read book with more than enough murder and mayhem for even the most picky suspense fan.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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\u2019s boat, and the direction the\u00a0clues\u00a0point to will test Finn and the Guard to their limits.<\/p>\n

When investigative reporter\u2013and Finn\u2019s boss\u2019s sister\u2013Gabby Rowley arrives, her unrelenting questions complicate an already volatile situation. Now that she\u2019s back, the tug on Finn\u2019s heart is strong, but with the risks she\u2019s taking for her next big story, he fears she might not live through it.<\/p>\n

Thrown together by the heinous crime, Finn and Gabby can\u2019t 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?<\/p>\n

MORE FROM DANI:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Pettrey kicks off her new Coastal Guardians series with an intense blend of suspense, love, and faith. The Killing Tide <\/em>features romance that\u2019s as thrilling as the action, and faithful characters integrated seamlessly into a complex web of crime.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Kate Campos<\/em> BookList<\/p>\n

The Killing Tide<\/em> is the first book in my Coastal Guardian series. My husband was Navy, so why am I writing about the Coast Guard? Because I think their mission to keep our waters and our country safe should be highlighted more. Before I started writing The Killing Tide<\/em>, I\u2019ll admit I knew little about the Coast Guard. I had a friend in high school who joined the Guard right after graduation, but that\u2019s about the depth of my experience with them. Then, my husband and I watched a movie called The Finest Hour<\/em>.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t seen it, I highly urge you to. It\u2019s the true story of one of the most dangerous and daring rescue attempts in Coast Guard history. Boatswain\u2019s Mate First Class Bernie Webber takes a small team to rescue the crew of the\u00a0Pendleton\u00a0<\/em>T2 oil tanker, which split in half off the coast of Cape Cod during a brutal nor\u2019easter in 1952. I won\u2019t ruin the ending for you, but let\u2019s just say it\u2019s a wonderful testament to courage in adversity. After watching it, I knew I had to write a series about the Coast Guard. I began researching and came across the Coast Guard Investigative Service and my interest was highly peaked. After talking with Coast Guardsmen, both newly in the service and those long retired, I began to see the story weaving together like a movie in my mind. I hope you enjoy reading the CGIS Wilmington teams\u2019 adventures, cases and\u2026of course, romances.<\/p>\n
