This book was far better than I expected!
I absolutely loved the relationships and I have to say, Blackburn writes these amazingly well. There is something special about the way she can describe and characterize each person, giving them a unique voice and a special influence. She writes friendships so well, I honestly wish I had friends like the Secret Service office seems to. LOL!
All that being said, the pacing was great! There were a few moments where it felt like it lagged and some scenes that could have been cut, but this was my only quibble with this book! While I understood Ivy, I related so hard to Gil, that I couldn’t help but smile and nod my head in sympathy over and over again.
The mystery itself strung me along quite a bit and I wasn’t sure till close to the end what was going on. This book was clean, had no smutty content at all and kept the romance sweet and pure, even with the obvious romantic tension between characters that have known and loved each other for a long time.
I also loved how characters from her previous dive series showed up as well! I always love those kinds of easter eggs and recycling of characters if you will.
If you enjoy Christian suspense books that are clean and well written, you will definitely enjoy this book! I didn’t realize that this was book 2 in the series and I liked it so much that I am currently listening to book one on audio book! I”m looking forward to reading book 3 when it comes out!
