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.

More from Christy
Dark Water is the fourth series in the Lantern Beach Universe. When I created the fictional island of Lantern Beach, NC, I had no idea how popular it would be. I’ve fallen in love with the people there, and they feel more like friends than fictional characters.
Dark Water is about a group of former Navy SEALs who band together to former an elite private security firm. But they all share secrets, as well as guilt over the death of their SEAL leader. In order to move on, they must find answers.
I introduced Colton Locke in the last book of the Lantern Beach PD series—Plan of Action. I knew he needed his own book and that I wanted to develop his character more. That turned into a four-book series featuring Colton and three of his friends. Blackout contains suspense, mystery, and romance—all of my favorite things!
My Review:
I have heard so many great things about this author, I couldn’t wait to read a book of hers for myself. I can see why people rave about her – I was hooked from the first chapter. Elise was so relatable and Colton was a heroine’s dream. I love that they had a history together as friends, a friendship foundation, from the beginning. Made the whole story more believable. I loved the group of guys that came together to help a buddy’s widow. And I loved the nonstop action throughout. I couldn’t figure out who did it, but when it was revealed, I could see the little clues she had planted throughout – in my opinion, that’s the mark of a great book! Can’t wait to read more from this author and more in this series.
I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit but was not under any obligation to write a review. All opinions are strictly mine.
