Review: Tides of Deception (Lantern Beach Romantic Suspense #1) by Christy Barritt

About the Book

Change has come to Lantern Beach: a new police chief, a new season, and . . . a new romance?

Austin Brooks has loved Skye Lavinia from the moment they met, but the walls she keeps around her seem impenetrable. Skye knows Austin is the best thing to ever happen to her. Yet she also knows that if he learns the truth about her past, he’d be a fool not to run.

A chance encounter brings secrets bubbling to the surface, and danger soon follows. Are the life-threatening events plaguing them really accidents . . . or is someone trying to send a deadly message?

With the tides on Lantern Beach come deception and lies. One question remains—who will be swept away as the water shifts? And will it bring the end for Austin and Skye, or merely the beginning?


My Thoughts

Tides of Deception is the first book in a spinoff of the Lantern Beach Mystery series. I was so excited to start reading it. It was great being back in Lantern Beach and learning more about Skye and Austin, getting to know their stories, and finding out their secrets.

I didn't think it'd be possible, but Tides of Deception was just as compelling and fast paced as the Lantern Beach Mysteries. The intrigue started right off the bat, making it impossible to put down. It was just the book I needed at the time, transporting me straight to Lantern Beach and right into the action making the real world fade away.

If you're a fan of romantic suspense, don't miss out on this exciting read! I can't recommend it highly enough. And if you haven't read the Lantern Beach Mystery series yet, don't let that stop you from picking up a copy of Tides of Deception. It stands alone just fine.
