About the Book


Crushing depthsBook: 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:
Yes!  This was a wonderful book.  The author does a great job with the suspense and the romance.  Rissi (I love the name) and Mason wonderful characters.  I thought I knew from the start 'who done it' but I was wrong and I love that.  I love that the book kept me guessing.
It's the second in a series but you don't have to read the other first.  I like the characters' pasts and how the story develops for them.  Overall it is a book I would recommend for anyone who enjoys romantic suspense.
It was a 5/5 for me.
