A review by theeditorreads
Into the Blue by Robin Huber
4.0
Synopsis:
Makayla Evans is a senior financial analyst for Syntec Pharmaceuticals. She lost her parents, her only family, at eighteen. Now at twenty-five-years of age, she loves having a challenging job and a therapist to go with it. She’s on the trail of an offshore account where suspicious activity is going on, and that’s when she’s taken off the scene.
Kellan James got an assignment to protect three researchers in La Isla Azul, located off the Costa Rican coast, from the Latin American drug cartel. Along with his buddies Adam Sinclair and Grant McAlister, he’s enjoying a quiet island life when the person who gave him this job assigns him another. After spending about a month in the idyllic island, he never expected to rescue a barely alive woman in Mexico.
Review:
A delicious tale of dark pharma, and the consequences an employee has to face when she stumbles upon a dark secret. The story moves quickly and in a gripping way. And it has one of the most beautiful endings.
Thirty-year-old Kellan has his own demons to slay after his last tour of duty as a marine in Afghanistan. Still, he can’t help but feel protective of Makayla. I loved it the way the author made her characters work through their trauma. Maybe it isn’t realistic, but in the event of no other or outside help on the island, it was what seemed good. This is my first read by Robin Huber and I can’t wait to read other books of hers.
This book is so nerdy and I loved it! And atmospheric too. What with all the greenery and the blue island and waterfalls which are so scenic, this was a perfect escape. Even though the idyllic island setting is bliss, but there’s the undercurrent of something bad about to happen.
The references to [b:Twilight|41865|Twilight (Twilight, #1)|Stephenie Meyer|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1361039443l/41865._SY75_.jpg|3212258] and [b:Jurassic Park|40604658|Jurassic Park (Jurassic Park, #1)|Michael Crichton|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1529604411l/40604658._SY75_.jpg|3376836] made this story feel like home. The book is mostly based on the island, which comes with its joys and dangers. The story kept me hooked right until the very end. And what do I say about the ending! I always want a drawn-out ending but I rarely get them. This one had it though! A beautiful conclusion spread over two long chapters.
Thank you to InkSlinger PR for an e-ARC of the book.
