Another cover love novel from the hands of Mrs. Colleen Coble, a gem among the Christian Fiction authors I review books by! I struggled just a bit with the first 3 chapters, trying to get engrossed, but once I did......boy, this novel flew by for me! The characters were wonderfully chiseled and the theme of the story was suspenseful, just as the first.
This book, to me, while having amazing characters, started off too slow for me. It wasn't until about chapter 4 that I became fully engrossed and flew through the book with lightening speed, following Ellie and Grayson through their story. There was unique twists and turns through the story once I got engrossed in it. Those twists and turns left me on the edge of my seat on a few occasions.
This book, filled with terrorism, truths that don't add up, and characters that are perfect for their roles, will leave you ready to get book three in your hands to find out what happens next. This is definitely a 4 star worthy novel and one that I will recommend to all who love a good, faith filled, thrilling suspense page turner. Mrs. Coble's talented hands have once again created a thrilling addition to her Lavender Tides series! Well done!

Being new to the Coast Guard family, i have been hoping to find a book with coasties in it. When i found this book I was excited and ready to jump in.
The story line was decent but for a “romance” book, this was seriously lacking. The action of the story got a little confusing and i feel like it had to be wrapped up really quickly because it was so drawn out at the beginning. Mac’s character seemed a little annoying and her sister had wayyy too much faith in her.
I also felt like there was no real character development. It touched on Grayson’s feelings about finding out his past- but it never went in depth. Ellie, we see how she blames herself for her sister and mother’s death but that’s about it. And as the 2 characters begin to like each other.. well, that was really dull and fell flat.
Overall, I was a little disappointed with this book and will likely forget about it in the next few days.

Secrets, lies and suspense! That’s what you’ll find in this, book two, in the Lavender Tides series by the talented Collen Coble.
When Ellie’s sister Mackenzie disappears, Ellie is determined to figure out what happened and in attempting to do so much, much more is yet to be discovered.
I enjoyed reading this suspenseful mystery. It was an engaging tale about the complexity of family and its hidden (good and bad) treasures.
I received an advanced review copy (ARC) of this book from the publisher through NetGalley for my honest review. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

A fast paced thriller - true to the Christian light romance suspense genre. I look forward to reading more of this author's stories!
