Submerged by Dani Pettrey

Bailey Craig has been running from her past for many years now. But when tragedy strikes, she is forced to go back to the small town in Alaska and face the ghost of her past. And Cole McKenna, the one person she most desperately wishes not to meet again, is one of the first people she runs into. The two are forced to work together when it appears a murder is one the loose and Bailey could be the next target.

Submerged by Dani Pettrey is a great beach read for the summer. High energy action, interesting location and just enough romance to keep anyone turning the pages. I also liked the bit of history and folklore that was mixed in. The characters may have been a bit farfetched at times, but they are likable and most will find one or two characters to relate too. If you are looking for a book that will draw you in on the first page and not let go until the end, this is the one for you. I would certainly read the books that are to come in this series. If they are out this summer, they will be in my beach bag.

I was given a copy of this book by Bethany House. All of the opinions are my own. I was not required to write a positive review.
