The Crushing Depths

Dani Pettrey writes is such a unique fashion, there are stories within stories! Never once was there a moment to be board. Love it!

I really enjoyed this series and I'm hoping for a 3rd book soon. Just the right amount of faith/mystery/love. Dani Pettrey is an amazing author!

The Crushing Depths by Dani Pettrey is the second book in her Coastal Guardians series. Coast Guard Investigators Rissi Dawson and Mason Rogers are sent out to the off shore oil platform to investigate the accidental death of an oil-rig worker. They encounter environmental activists, who will do whatever it takes to shut down the oil production. With tensions running high from all the “accidents” aboard the rig rumors of the old curse start to circulate again. Rissi and Mason must dig through all of this to find the answers they need. This was a great book. I enjoyed all the character interactions. The southern charm came thru loud and clear! I’m a southern gal myself, so was happy to read a story where the men were also gentlemen. Can’t wait for the next installment! DISCLAIMER: There was quite a bit of kissing and boy/girl feelings. I received this book from the author for my honest review.

Dani Pettrey crushes it in the second installment of the Coastal Guardian Series. The Crushing Depths starts off with a bang, literally, and offers one harrowing turn after another. I didn’t know who was responsible for the things that were happening until the very end, so that was intriguing. Readers were introduced to Rissi Dawson and Mason Rogers in The Killing Tide, and as characters go, they are great. I liked them both, and liked their backstory, which allowed for several tender moments that made you say “Ah.” There were funny moments when the whole team was working together to solve the mystery, and a great set-up for book three. I liked that Rissi and Mason were both Christians and that faith played a great part of their story. If you decide to read this before book one, you won’t be lost. Book one would offer you a little more information about the characters, but nothing so monumental you’ll feel like you’ve entered a story in the middle. There’s a lot to enjoy about this book.
