Lost Truth

Review – Rising Tide

October 19, 2020 By The Suspense Zone

A FORMER SEAL UNDER SCRUTINY

Benjamin James knows there’s a traitor within his former command. The rest of his team might even think it’s him. As danger closes in, he must clear himself and stop a deadly plot by a dangerous terrorist group.

A WOMAN CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRAll CJ Compton wanted was a new start after her career ended under suspicion. Working as the house manager for private security group Blackout seems perfect. But there’s more trouble here than what she left behind.

A BATTLE TO THE ENDAs the tide rushes in, the stakes continue to rise. If the Blackout team fails, it’s not just Lantern Beach at stake—it’s the whole country. Can Benjamin and CJ overcome their differences and work together to find the truth?

My thoughts :  RISING TIDE is the 4th (and final, I think) book in the Lantern Beach Blackout Series. This series would be best read in order to get the most out of them. I didn’t and while I wasn’t hopelessly lost, I was confused.

CJ and Benjamin were the main characters in this story, and being former Navy Seals (and Top Gun) they are true super heroes. While not able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, they came close. 

The voice of the story didn’t have a Christy Barritt feel, but maybe because these are different than her normal characters. Fans of military super heroes will love this book and series.
