Edge of Dusk

July 11 – August 5, 2022 Virtual Book Tour
Even though secrets lie off the coast of Rock Harbor, the truth will set Annie Pederson free—if it doesn’t kill her first.
Nine-year-old Annie Pederson’s life changed the night her sister was kidnapped. The two had been outside playing on a dock, and Annie never forgave herself for her role in her sister’s disappearance. Twenty-four years later and now a law enforcement ranger, Annie is still searching for answers as she grieves a new loss: the death of her husband and parents in a boating accident.
But Annie and her eight-year-old daughter, Kylie, aren’t the only people in the town of Rock Harbor whose lives have been marred by tragedy. While managing the property around the Tremolo Resort and Marina she inherited, Annie discovers a dead body floating in the cold Superior surf and begins to work with the sheriff’s office to tie the death to a series of other mysterious reports in the area.
At the same time, her first love, Jon Dustan, returns after nine years away, reigniting the town’s memory of a cold case he’d been suspiciously linked to before he left to pursue his orthopedic residency. For the sake of her investigation and her heart, Annie tries to stay away. But avoiding Jon becomes impossible once Annie realizes she is being targeted by someone desperate to keep secrets from the past hidden.
In this new series, bestselling romantic-suspense author Colleen Coble returns to one of her most beloved towns, where familiar faces—and unsolved cases—await.

My Thoughts:
Romantic suspense with Christianity at its core is precisely why I love reading Colleen Coble's novels. There were a lot of trails to navigate in regards to the main mystery at hand and the side effects that came about because of it. At times, I did have to stop reading and research some of the vernacular used by characters that wasn't explained.
I did love how descriptive the area was written as I could smell the waters, feel the wind, and hear the loons throughout. Those moments set the scene at pivotal moments that heightened the suspense.
Annie took a bit for me to warm up to. I understand that she was under a lot of stress with a lot on her plate; however, there were a few moments that made me wonder how she was going to perform at her job as a LEO/park ranger. Her instant trust of Taylor was a bit scary for me as a mom myself - but perhaps I am more of a hover-mom? Annie is very intuitive when she is on a case and I look forward to reading more of that in the second book!
I received a complimentary copy for reviewing purposes. All opinions are my own.
