Seaside Secrets

Seaside Secrets had me hooked from page one! This book is number two in the Pacific Coast Private Eyes series, but can easily be read as a stand alone. The story centers around Angela Gallagher, a Navy chaplain, who sets out to help the brother of the assistant who gave his life to save her in combat. She is helped by Dr. Dan Blackwater, a surgeon, who was in the field with her when her assistant died. Both of them are thrown into the action as they are trying to figure out what is going on. They quickly figure out that people's stories are not adding up and they don't really know who can be trusted.
I enjoyed getting to know the characters and see first hand their battles with PTSD and their honesty about the struggles with their faith while staying on the edge of my seat to see what was going to happen next. This book kept me guessing until the very end! I would definitely recommend it. Once again, Dana Mentink found that perfect balance of romance and suspense!
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Explosions, Mayhem, Dark Secrets, Deceit, Murder…this
is a power packed with emotion, a engaging plot plus
many twists and turns!!!
Angela Gallagher, a Chaplain who served in Afghanistan is
on medical leave suffering from Post Traumatic Stress
Syndrome. She is contacted by the brother of her dead
assistant. She owes the dead assistant her live as he died
taking a bullet by stepping in front of her. The brother
requests Angela to use her family's private detective
company's resources to help him stay alive. So off she goes
to help him.
She runs into Dr Dan Blackwell who she knows from
Afghanistan. Dan is on leave from the hospital where he
works due to suffering from a hand wound. Dan also suffers
from PTSD.
They combine forces along with several members of her
family’s detective company to go up against dangerous
illegal activities.
The characters are well developed, very realistic and very
interesting. The tension was thick with plenty of suspense
great chills, thrills with unexpected twists.
It is a story showing how you need to learn to break free
of the past and be willing to walk into the future.
There is a powerful message of God's forgiveness and
love if we turn to Him.
Seaside Secrets is the second book in the Pacific Coast
Private Eyes Series.
The story is a real page turner!!!

This is the second book in the Pacific Coast Private Eye Series, but it can be read as a standalone. This is another one from this author that takes the reader on a roller coaster ride of suspense and action. Once again, this author has combined wonderful characters with action, suspense, faith and romance and written a book that had me hooked from the first page and kept me reading to see what was going to happen next. I was given a copy of this book in return for an honest review, and it is one that I thoroughly enjoyed and definitely recommend to the reader who enjoys good Christian suspense.
