A FORMER NAVY SEAL HAUNTED BY HIS PAST

Colton Locke can’t forget the black op that went terribly wrong. Desperate for a new start, he moves to Lantern Beach, North Carolina, and forms Blackout, a private security firm. Despite his hero status, he can’t erase the mistakes he’s made.

A WIDOW WITH SECRETS

For the past year, Elise Oliver hasn’t been able to shake the feeling that there’s more to her husband’s death than she was told. When she finds a hidden box of his personal possessions, more questions—and suspicions—arise. The only person she trusts to help her is her husband’s best friend, Colton Locke.

THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE

Someone wants Elise dead. Is it because she knows too much? Or is it to keep her from finding the truth? The Blackout team must uncover dark secrets hiding beneath seemingly still waters. But those very secrets might just tear the team apart.

My Thoughts on Dark Water:

I hadn’t read any of Christy Barritt’s books before this one came in the mail.  When I started reading this book I fell in love with Lantern Beach and also all of the characters.  I read this book so quickly!

This is a wonderful suspense mystery book with just enough romance thrown in to appease those who want romance.  And when it ends you know more has to come and you have to keep reading so you’ll want to locate the rest of the series.  Elise and Colton get to continue in the rest of the series and you’re going to be on pins and needles figuring it all out.

I loved how Elise has the knowledge she learned from her Navy Seal husband.  And they ALL have secrets that they’re not willing to share.  But who would want her dead?  And why does she feel like they’re targeting her for more than just what she knows?  Can the Blackout team keep her safe?  Will they share their secrets with her?

Once I finished and knew what happened to Elise and the rest of the gang I had to know more!  Lucky for me the rest of the series is on Kindle Unlimited and I binged.  We’re talking in one day I read probably three books.  They read super fast and now I’m hooked and reading my way through the entire Lantern Beach series of books!

I don’t know what to say besides you have to read this book.  You have to read the entire series and all the other series that came before it.  I obviously did not read all of the books on Lantern Beach in order.  This book is the start of a new series but set in the same spot and with the same characters as the other Lantern Beach series.  I’m reading the other series now and while I do KNOW how things are ending up they’re still wonderful and I can’t put them down!

Definitely read Dark Water before you check out the rest of this series and read the books within the series in order.  You won’t regret it. Now, I’m hooked on this author and I’m still binge reading her books.  In fact, I need to get off here to get some more reading in before duty calls and I have to homeschool the kiddos today. 

Highly recommend this book and this author and all of her works!

More from Christy

Dark Water is the fourth series in the Lantern Beach Universe. When I created the fictional island of Lantern Beach, NC, I had no idea how popular it would be. I’ve fallen in love with the people there, and they feel more like friends than fictional characters.

Dark Water is about a group of former Navy SEALs who band together to former an elite private security firm. But they all share secrets, as well as guilt over the death of their SEAL leader. In order to move on, they must find answers.

I introduced Colton Locke in the last book of the Lantern Beach PD series—Plan of Action. I knew he needed his own book and that I wanted to develop his character more. That turned into a four-book series featuring Colton and three of his friends. Blackout contains suspense, mystery, and romance—all of my favorite things!
