Review – One Final Breath

December 23, 2020 By The Suspense Zone

From the back cover:

Revenge has no statute of limitations
When investigator Gabriel Chavez had his cover blown by an aggressive reporter, the silver lining was being able to rejoin the dive team. The downside? Dive team captain Anissa Bell–a woman who both fascinates and frustrates him.

Anissa grew up as a missionary kid on the Micronesian island of Yap and always planned to return after college. But she remained stateside, determined to solve the case that haunts her–the murder of her best friend and the disappearance of a three-year-old child.

When Anissa’s fractured past collides with Gabe’s investigation into the tragic shooting death of a teenage boy in Lake Porter, they’ll have to put their complicated history with each other aside in order to uncover the identity of a killer. What they’ll discover is that revenge has no statute of limitations.

Award-winning author Lynn H. Blackburn closes out her nail-biting Dive Team Investigations series with a story that will have you wondering how long you can hold your breath.

 

My thoughts: 

ONE FINAL BREATH is the third and final book in this series.  Ms. Blackburn is becoming a favorite romantic suspense author of mine and I couldn’t wait until I had time to read this book.

ONE FINAL BREATH starts slow, setting the scene, which is important. Then a shot rang out… and the pace got a shot of Adrenalin. I didn’t want to put the book down. I fell in love with the two main characters and wanted them to find peace with their pasts.

The final few chapters were more telling as the author attempted to take care of any dangling threats, but the final scene has to be the most unique in the history of romance.

I really enjoyed ONE FINAL BREATH and the whole series.
