Review: Perilous Riptide (Lantern Beach Mysteries #5) by Christy Barritt

About the Book
Just when the current seems safer, an unseen danger emerges and threatens to destroy everything.

When Cassidy Livingston finds a journal hidden deep in the recesses of her ice cream truck, her curiosity kicks into high gear. Islanders suspect that Elsa, the journal’s owner, didn’t die accidentally. Her final entry indicates their suspicions might be correct and that what Elsa observed on her final night may have led to her demise.

Against the advice of Ty Chambers, her former Navy SEAL boyfriend, Cassidy taps into her detective skills and hunts for answers. But her search only leads to a skeletal body and trouble for both of them. As helplessness threatens to drown her, Cassidy is desperate to turn back time.

Can Cassidy find what she needs to navigate the perilous situation? Or will the riptide surrounding her threaten everyone and everything Cassidy loves?


My Thoughts

Perilous Riptide is another exciting addition to the Lantern Beach Mystery series. It's full of action, suspense, mystery and danger. With the stakes seeming higher than ever, it was impossible to put this book down. I was on the edge of my seat numerous times and was kept guessing until the reveal.

From the very beginning of this series, I've been intrigued by the mystery that surrounded Elsa and the ice cream truck. In this installment, the fifth of the series, we delve into the mystery and circumstances surrounding it, finding out that things go deeper than it first appears.

I didn't think it was possible, but Perilous Riptide is even better than it's predecessors. It's my favorite, so far. I don't know how Christy Barritt does it, but each book gets better and better. I'm so anxious for the next book, Deadly Undertow! It can't come out soon enough!

    1. It really is awesome! And this ice cream truck seems to have a mind of it's own sometimes, so things can get pretty interesting, lol.

      Thanks for stopping by, Lark! :)
