I am not sure I will be able to tell you how wonderful this book and series is, but I will try. Emily Chastain has uncovered discrepancies in her work as a financial-crimes investigator at her bank. She had shared her concern, over these discrepancies, with her best friend Heather, an investigative reporter. Now Heather is missing and Emily has been abducted. Emily is minutes away from being killed and thrown in to a lake when Detective Brady St. John (just love the St. John family), who is at a lake cabin relaxing, hears her scream. He rescues Emily and from there on it is an action-packed race to find Heather and to discover why people are trying to kill Emily. Emily had a difficult time as a teenager and has become a strong and independent woman, while Brady has dealt with an issue in his own past. Brady’s family (who are all involved in law enforcement) and his “brothers in blue”, will chase down suspects until they find out who is behind this far reaching plot. I have read the “Blue Justice” series and loved each book. Ms. Eason is such a gifted author that she brings the St. John family “to life” as you get to know each character and their story. I can’t wait for the next story (but will have to as it is not due out until August…which if you have not read the series will give you plenty of time to catch up). I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to give an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)

Emily is saved from death by Brady, several times. Why does someone want her dead. Her friend Heather has gone missing, but manages to warm Emily she is in danger before she disappears. There are people coming at Emily from all directions. Brady is determined to keep her safe as his attraction to her grows.

There is a lot going on in this book. Danger and bad guys from every direction. What do they want from Emily. Can they figure it out in time to save Emily. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

This book has all the makings for a great action movie. It has intrigue, fast pace action and danger everywhere you turn. The author does a great job of grabbing readers' attention right away.

Emily is a wonderful character who sees more danger than anyone should in their lives. The mystery surrounds a sunken boat and a mysterious flash drive. Emily's friend is missing and that puts her on high alert. When Emily is rescued by Brady, they are both in for an adventure that takes them to the deep waters below to chases and kidnapping. Why is someone after Emily?

I liked the danger that filled the pages as the story takes twists and turns that all lead to a killer on the loose. I really enjoyed reading about Emily learning how to scuba dive. I am afraid of water especially since I can't swim. I held my breath each time Emily went diving with Brady. The details were very intriguing and the author does a good job describing details of how to be safe while diving. It's a race against time as Emily finds herself depending on Brady to keep her safe. Can Brady get to her in time and catch the killer? The ending is one of the best I've read with powerful twists and edge of your seat action.

I received a copy of this book from Library Thing's Early Reviewers. The review is my own opinion.
