Celebrate Lit Tour – The Crushing Depths by Dani Pettrey

About the Book

Book: The Crushing Depths

Author: Dani Pettrey

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: June 30, 2020

They know the power and peril of the ocean. But as they get closer to the deadly truth…An even greater danger lurks just beneath the surface.

When an accident claims the life of an oil-rig worker on the first drilling platform off the North Carolina coast, Coast Guard investigators Rissi Dawson and Mason Rogers are sent to take the case. Tensions surrounding the oil rig are high and the death has everyone on edge. Environmental activists are threatening to do whatever it takes to stop the structure from being completed, while rumors are being whispered about ancient curses surrounding this part of the ocean.

Mounting evidence shows the death may not have been an accident at all. Was he killed by one of the activists or, perhaps more frighteningly, a member of his own crew? Rissi and Mason have to sort through not only a plethora of suspects, but also their own past and attraction to each other.

Just as the case seems like it’ll break open, worse news arrives. A tropical storm has turned their way and soon they’re cut off from any rescue–and right where the killer
wants them. It’s a race to discover his identity before he eliminates the threat they pose.

My Thoughts

And the action continues with the second installment in this exciting suspense series from Dani Pettrey! This book picks up right where the last one left off, so I do recommend that you read the series in order, but this series has been great, so that should be no trial!  I liked Rissi and Mason a lot in the first book and was excited that they took center stage in this second novel.  They share similar painful pasts, which makes their relationship that much better.  I love how the characters are flawed and real.  Like the first book, the story starts with multiple characters, which takes a few chapters to keep straight, but this eventually allows there to be multiple potential villains and the plot less predictable.  I suggest that you make sure your laundry is done and your house is clean before starting this book, because once you start, you will not be able to put it down!  I enjoyed the suspenseful plot.  I definitely recommend this series!

I received a complimentary ecopy of this book from the Bethany House Publishers and Celebrate Lit Tours. Opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

The Crushing Depths by Dani Pettrey

Coast Guard investigators Rissi Dawson and Mason Rogers are tasked with finding out why an oil-rig worker died on the drilling platform off the coast of North Carolina.  However, their job is complicated by opinions from environmental activists and those who believe the death is secondary to an ancient curse.  But the most frightening theory of all is that the death may not be from an accident, but from a murder.

And the action continues with the second installment in this exciting suspense series from Dani Pettrey! This book picks up right where the last one left off, so I do recommend that you read the series in order, but this series has been great, so that should be no trial!  I liked Rissi and Mason a lot in the first book and was excited that they took center stage in this second novel.  They share similar painful pasts, which makes their relationship that much better.  I love how the characters are flawed and real.  Like the first book, the story starts with multiple characters, which takes a few chapters to keep straight, but this eventually allows there to be multiple potential villains and the plot less predictable.  I suggest that you make sure your laundry is done and your house is clean before starting this book, because once you start, you will not be able to put it down!  I enjoyed the suspenseful plot.  I definitely recommend this series!
