As someone who enjoys suspense novels, I was excited read Dani Pettrey’s newest book, The Deadly Shallows, the third book in the Coastal Guardians series.
Brooke Kessler, is attending a Flight Medic
A-School graduation to support her friend Molly. Like a story ripped out of today’s headline
news, in the middle of the ceremony there’s unimaginable horror when someone
begins shooting into the crowd. Brooke, Noah
Rowley, and their fellow Coast Guard team members will begin the long process
of investigating who is responsible for this tragedy and bring them to
justice.
One of my favorite parts of The Deadly
Shallows was the relationships between co-workers who had become trusted
friends. Many of the characters returned
from the first two novels in this series.
The author captures the sense of friendships and commitment to one
another. I appreciated that faith was
part of the character’s lives, most notably through prayer. I liked that novel was clean, no profanity or
immorality by the main characters.
There were a lot of twists and turns in this
story, a couple of romances between characters and two mysteries going on. I like how Noah worked through the painful
memories he had as a child that continued to impact his life. The story did drag a little bit. There was one romantic scene that could have
been dialed down some.
Overall, I really
liked The Deadly Shallows.
I like mystery and suspense. But
what I appreciated most was the relationships, with likable characters and
their faith being part of the story.
If you like
mystery and suspense, or stories based around the military, relationships and
faith, you may want to read The Deadly Shallows
by Dani Pettrey.
I would like to
thank Bethany House Publishers and NetGalley for an opportunity the read
a complimentary copy of The Deadly Shallows by Dani Pettrey. I was under no obligation to give a favorable
review.
