Book Beginnings + Friday 56: Flood Watch (Lantern Beach Mysteries #2) by Christy Barritt

Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and share a non-spoilery sentence or two.

This week I'm featuring Flood Watch (Lantern Beach Mysteries #2) by Christy Barritt.


Book Beginning

SIX WEEKS EARLIER

Cady Matthews jerked her eyes open, blanching at the sideways world splayed before her.

Friday 56 (56% on my Kindle)

Cassidy held back, knowing she'd look too suspicious if she jumped right in on this one. Normal people didn't confront men this big and scary.

About the Book

The tide is high, and so is the danger on Lantern Beach.

Still in hiding after infiltrating a dangerous gang, Cassidy Livingston just has to make it a few more months before she can testify at trial and resume her old life. But trouble keeps finding her, and Cassidy is pulled into a local investigation after a man mysteriously disappears from the island she now calls home.

A recurring nightmare from her time undercover only muddies things, as does a visit from the parents of her handsome ex-Navy SEAL neighbor. When a friend's life is threatened, Cassidy must make choices that put her on the verge of blowing her cover.
With a flood watch on her emotions and her life in a tangle, will Cassidy find the truth? Or will her past finally drown her?

Note: Lantern Beach Mysteries is a six-book series, beginning with Hidden Currents.

    1. Christy Barritt's one of the best mystery/suspense authors out there, in my opinion. I rarely ever figure out the mystery before it's revealed. Thanks for visiting, Laura!
