Colleen Coble is one of my all-time favorite authors. All my favorite books by her have a great
balance of suspense and romance. It's
not too sappy and it's not too dark.
This is the first book in a new series from her, Sunset Cove.
Claire has come to Maine to close a merger, but the first
thing that happens is she experiences a panic attack. Rushing away from the hotel, she meets Luke,
who is in the process of saving a baby orca.
Who wouldn't love a guy like that, right? Anyway, Claire soon witnesses a murder, but
she's attacked too and when she awakens, the body is gone and she finds herself
under suspicion by the local sheriff.
Digging into her past, it's discovered that she's a little girl who
disappeared on her fourth birthday and discovered a year later near the very
hotel she's staying at. Claire doesn't
remember anything about it and is determined to find the truth.
Luke's mother disappeared the same night little Claire was
taken and her body was never found. Luke
feels that there has to be a connection and pushes Claire to try and remember
what happened. He feels that solving the
mystery of where Claire was for that year will also bring him answers about
what happened to his mother.
The more Claire digs, the closer she's getting to the truth. There's someone out there that doesn't want
her to discover that truth and she's not safe.
She won't give up, and when the dam breaks, the secrets may end up
drowning her.
I really enjoyed this book.
I read it in two days and appreciated the complexity of the story. I must admit, I had the plot figured out
before the end, but I'll chalk that up to watching too many episodes of Bones
and Castle. I believe that the twists
and turns are complex enough to keep you guessing to the end, and I recommend
this book. Next up is Mermaid Moon due
out January 2016. Good Book!

NetGalley in exchange for an honest opinion.
