The Deadly Shallows




If you like action, suspense, and romance, this book has it all. This third book in the Coastal Guardians has a team of experts who not only have cases to investigate on land, but also on the water.  Criminals beware; you will be caught and brought to justice.

Having several events happening at once, Ms. Pettrey did an excellent job in developing the romantic relationships of several of the couples who work together. I liked the way that Noah Rawley and Brooke Kessler operated as one with their investigation. I also enjoyed seeing their relationship develop. Noah was able to give support and be there for Brooke when she needed him after a terrifying experience and loss of a friend.


The portrayal of the mastermind behind the mass shooting showed how ruthless he was and how he would stop at nothing to achieve his goal. I was a bit surprised at his motive and was expecting it to be a bit different. But, revenge can lead some people to do terrible things.


I would recommend reading the other two books in the series to give you a history of the other couples who are in the book and their previous cases. While this can be read as a standalone, I hadn’t read book two and felt that I had missed out on some details that would have made the story even better than it was. 


I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. The opinions in this review are my own.
