Perilous Tides

Hidden Bay, Book 2

By: Elizabeth Goddard

Narrated by: Chloe Pfeiffer

Three years after her mother's suspicious death, forensic artist Jo Cattrel is in hiding, working at a storm-watching lodge along the Washington coast. When her father sends her a disturbing and cryptic message, Jo leaves the safety of the lodge to find him. But during the ferry crossing, Jo witnesses a murder—and becomes a target. 

 

More surprising to Jo than being in danger is the identity of the person who steps in to protect her—none other than her ex, former Green Beret Cole Mercer. Now a private investigator, Cole has been looking into her mother's death. If he can just uncover the truth, maybe Jo can end her self-imposed captivity and the two of them can pick up the pieces and build a future together. 

 

As Cole and Jo search for answers, the past rushes in like a dangerous tide before the truth can be revealed.

Three may keep a secret if two of them are dead.

A mystery that keeps you engaged. This story has a second-chance romance with relatable characters who take charge of their destinies. I found myself hooked, eagerly flipping through the pages to discover the twists and turns waiting around each corner. I found inspiration in the Christian elements.
The narrator did a splendid job!

“Three may keep a secret if two of them are dead.” Benjamin Franklin

Great story. full of action and suspense.

I enjoyed the space context and history. Brings back lots of memories of living near the space program

Kept me guessing!

I really enjoyed this audiobook! It had plenty of danger, twists and turns and faith to keep me listening until I finished it!

Good read

Overall, it was a good novel with suspense, mystery, and romance. I liked the first in this series better. At times, the characters were frustrating.

TSTL

I had a hard time liking Jo. In the first book she was painted as capable and independent but in this book she is whining mess. There were many TSTL moments for both her and Cole but yet they lived on. I had many, many eye rolling moments. It also bugs me when there is a lot of talk faith but no faith in action. Need the plot and the happy ending and the narration
