Review: Dark Water (Lantern Beach Blackout #1) by Christy Barritt

About the Book
A FORMER NAVY SEAL HAUNTED BY HIS PAST

Colton Locke can’t forget the black op that went terribly wrong. Desperate for a new start, he moves to Lantern Beach, North Carolina, and forms Blackout, a private security firm. Despite his hero status, he can’t erase the mistakes he’s made.

A WIDOW WITH SECRETS

For the past year, Elise Oliver hasn’t been able to shake the feeling that there’s more to her husband’s death than she was told. When she finds a hidden box of his personal possessions, more questions—and suspicions—arise. The only person she trusts to help her is her husband’s best friend, Colton Locke.

THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE

Someone wants Elise dead. Is it because she knows too much? Or is it to keep her from finding the truth? The Blackout team must uncover dark secrets hiding beneath seemingly still waters. But those very secrets might just tear the team apart.


My Thoughts

Dark Water is the start to a brand new series by Christy Barritt set in the familiar town of Lantern Beach. And what a great start it is! Featuring cameos from favorite characters from previous Lantern Beach stories, it's sure to appeal to new and old fans alike.

With danger lurking around every corner, nonstop action, and a confounding mystery, Dark Water was an unputdownable read.

It was great being back in Lantern Beach. It's one of my favorite fictional places to visit. I really liked the Blackout guys and am excited to get to know the rest of them better in upcoming books.

    1. Definitely! She writes so fast that it feels like I always have one of her books waiting to be read which is an exciting feeling. Though if she keeps this pace up, I'm gonna fall hopelessly behind. I'll never be able to keep up. I guess that's a good problem to have with a favorite author though, lol. :D
