Description:
An elusive killer. A false identity. A deadly maze of lies.
When Coast Guard Investigative Service Special Agent LOGAN PERRY’s beloved grandfather is murdered, Logan races to his hometown of Cauldron Creek, New Mexico to investigate the murder. His teammate and friend, EMMY THORTON, insists on joining him. Not a good idea—not when he loves her, but carries a secret that he knows will tear them apart.
Emmy knows Logan will pursue the investigation no matter the cost, and she won’t let the man she loves plunge into a dangerous situation alone. She needs to be at his side, even if he believes friendship is her only reason for joining him.
What looks like a robbery gone wrong rapidly shifts, drawing Emmy and Logan into a dizzying maze where nothing is as it appears. Every lead slips through their fingers as threats against them grow deadlier at each turn. Having only each other to rely on, their love for one another deepens, but will they live long enough to admit their attraction to each other?
They’re in the killer’s sights. One wrong move puts their future together and their lives on the line.

My Thoughts:
I have been waiting for Emmy and Logan’s book for 4 years! Ever since reading the first book in the series. I. Have. Been. Waiting. And I confess, I was pretty bummed when I saw it was “just” a novella. But after reading it, I stand corrected. A novella was perfect for them!
So if you’ve read the other books in the series, you’ve probably been following these characters as long as I have. If you haven’t, then stop, go get those books, read them, wait 4 years, and then come back. Just kidding. But seriously, go get the other books. So after following them through the prior books, their relationship and how it all plays out, works perfectly. It didn’t seem unnatural or rushed. And given that, I honestly probably would have been frustrated with them, had they been given a full-length novel to finally figure it out. So, well done, Ms. Pettrey!
Though I hated seeing the end of the series, it ended well. And I’m excited to see what comes next!
*My thanks to the author and publisher for my advanced copy of this book! I was not required to write a review, positive or otherwise, and have not been compensated for it in any way. All opinions expressed are my own.
Though I'll always prefer paper books to e-books, I do want to point out that the e-book is only $2.99 right now! So if you're wanting to finish the series, but a paperback is out of your budget range right now, that may be an option!
As always, thanks for stopping by! Have a lovely Mother's Day weekend!
