Lantern Beach

Tides of Deception by Christy Barritt – Review

September 2, 2018 by Suzie Waltner Leave a Comment

Don’t you hate it when a series ends and you have to say goodbye to those fictional friends who have been part of your life for a time? Well, Christy Barritt gives fans something to rejoice about. Her new Lantern Beach Romantic Suspense means we get to spend time on that little island a bit longer (but the focus shifts from Ty and Cassidy to their group of friends. And for those of you who have no idea who Cassidy and Ty are or anything about Lantern Beach, then this is a great introduction.

IN MY OPINION…

I am thrilled that I get to hang out on Christy Barritt’s Lantern Beach a little bit longer. Over the course of the six book Lantern Beach Mysteries, Cassidy, Ty, and the rest of the gang have become like friends. And in Tides of Deception, Barritt gives readers a peek into the lives of Austin and Skye.

Austin fell in love with Skye the moment he met her, but the exotic beauty who runs the fruit stand has some walls built around her. Instead, he spends his time with her as a friend—one she can always count on to help her when she’s in a bind.

Perilous Riptide by Christy Barritt – Book Review

May 24, 2018 by Suzie Waltner Leave a Comment

Somehow, Christy Barritt always manages to build on the tension from her previous books. Doesn’t matter which series, she manages to pull me in every. single. time. And the Lantern Beach series is no exception. Cassidy and Ty are quickly becoming my favorite hero and heroine. And I really want to take a trip to the Outer Banks soon!

In My Opinion…

For four months, I’ve followed Cassidy through some harrowing situations. But this detective-in-hiding always manages to outsmart her opponents and solve the crime.

Now that Ty is aware of her past, Cassidy can sit back and be herself with the man she loves. But when he’s accused of a crime, Cassidy must solve the most important case of her life.

With Ty indisposed, Cassidy accepts the aid of his friends, allowing readers to get to know the supporting cast a bit better (one of my favorite things about Perilous Riptide).

Christy Barritt delivers another action-packed, intense read that kept me guessing until close to the end. Hang on tight readers, Lantern Beach is not free from crime yet (and the suspect list includes some people you may recognize).

My Rating:

About the Book

Just when the current seems safer, an unseen danger emerges and threatens to destroy everything.

When Cassidy Livingston finds a journal hidden deep in the recesses of her ice cream truck, her curiosity kicks into high gear. Islanders suspect that Elsa, the journal’s owner, didn’t die accidentally. Her final entry indicates their suspicions might be correct and that what Elsa observed on her final night may have led to her demise.

Against the advice of Ty Chambers, her former Navy SEAL boyfriend, Cassidy taps into her detective skills and hunts for answers. But her search only leads to a skeletal body and trouble for both of them. As helplessness threatens to drown her, Cassidy is desperate to turn back time.

Can Cassidy find what she needs to navigate the perilous situation? Or will the riptide surrounding her threaten everyone and everything Cassidy loves?

First of all, this may be my favorite cover (so far) in Christy Barritt’s Lantern Beach series. And just when Cassidy and Ty were making progress…

First Line Friday: Flood Watch by Christy Barritt

February 23, 2018 by Suzie Waltner 14 Comments

Happy last Friday of February everyone! Where did this month go?

Have you read any of Christy Barritt’s books? If not and you pick one up, be warned that you will probably get hooked on one of her series. The good news is that she writes fast (about a book a month) so you have plenty to read. That’s also a little of the bad news because if you, like me, fall behind, it is sometimes hard to catch up…but I’m doing my best!

The second book in Barritt’s Lantern Beach series was released this month, so I’m sharing the first line from that one with you. PS, if you’re in search of a heated kiss, this is one to read!

Flood Watch by Christy Barritt (Review)

When Hidden Currents came out last month, I was instantly ready for the next book in this new series from Christy Barritt. But after reading book two, I am hooked on Ty and Cassidy.

In My Opinion

The second book in the Lantern Beach series finds Cassidy anticipating her first major storm on the island while embroiled in another investigation—this one to clear a friend’s name.
