I received a gifted copy and am providing a review.
This is the first book in this new
series for Ms. Coble, featuring Annie Pederson who is a law enforcement officer/ranger.
There are many underlying layers in this tale. Annie’s ‘nightmare’ began when
she was just a little girl and her sister disappeared. All these many years
later, twenty-four to be exact, Annie is still searching for Laura. She now has
her own little girl, Kylie, and is also dealing with the deaths of her parents
and her husband, Nate, as well as some past regrets which come to the surface
when Jon Dunstan returns to Rock Harbor.
Annie –Since her parents’ death, not
only is she a ranger, she is also the owner of her family’s campground/resort.
Kylie – Annie’s daughter who is
dealing with her father’s death along with losing her grandparents, and a
diagnosis, not fatal, but shocking to Annie.
Jon Dunstan – Annie’s teenage
boyfriend. Things didn’t turn out so well back then, Jon left Rock Harbor to
pursue his medical career, and only returns to get his father’s cabin ready to
sell. His dad accompanies him to Rock Harbor and is not blind to Jon’s
affection for Annie, even after all these years.
Laura – Annie’s missing sister.
Taylor – An interesting character.
Annie hires her to be Kylie’s nanny and to help out around the resort.
Bree and Kade – Readers of Ms. Coble
will ‘know’ Bree from a previous series. She is present in this series as well,
but more as a background character. She and Kade have three children of their
own, Davy (Bree’s son) and a set of twins.
Anu – A local shop owner.
And the police force whom Annie works
closely with. There are also many background characters who are essential in
the telling of this tale.
When Jon returns to Rock Harbor, both
he and Annie are forced to deal with regrets from the past. The more Annie
investigates a particular case, the more ‘warnings’ she gets. Taylor is not all
she seems to be. What exactly is Taylor up to? Kylie is diagnosed with celiac
disease which makes Annie question certain aspects of her past. Both Annie and
Kylie are dealing with the trauma of losing family members, compounded with
Annie not only being a ranger but also the owner of her family’s
resort/campground. Not to mention a new puppy! Kylie is dealing with meeting
Jon and just exactly what he means to her mom, making her a very relatable
little girl.
This is going to be one interesting
series, especially if there are as many underlying stories running through the
pages as there are in this first book. I am looking forward to more of Annie’s
adventures.
