GIVEAWAY

PETTREY, DANI
DEAD DRIFT

The final countdown to stop an imminent attack has begun.

Burning debris littering to the ground...smoke plumng in the acrid air...this is just the beginning if he fails.

Seven years ago, operative Luke Gallagher vanished to become part of an elite team set on capturing a deadly terrorist. When Luke returns to face those he left behind, their help becomes his only hope of stopping his target's latest threat of an attack that would shake America to its core.

Private investigator Kate Maxwell never stopped loving or looking for Luke after he disappeared. But she also never imagined he left her or his life by choice. Now he's back, and together they must unravel a twisting thread of secrets, lies, and betrayal, all while on the brink of a biological disaster.

Will they and their love survive, or will Luke and Kate become the terrorist's next mark?

My Review:

Oh wow -- stellar (but bittersweet) conclusion to this epic series! The only thing that keeps me from drowning in the depths of despair as we come to the end of the Chesapeake Valor books is the author's promise of a new series in our future -- Coastal Guardians -- which will undoubtedly be awesome too. Trouble is, Dani Pettrey has the power to create such memorable characters that it's hard to let them go when she wraps up a series. And that results in me wallowing in the separation-anxiety-blues. Sniffle.

Sublime action and suspense! Two suspense plots, actually, and both so riveting that I read Dead Drift in one sitting because how could I possible leave the team in that situation? Or that one? Or-- gasp -- nooooooo, I can't go to sleep until we get the all clear! Talk about nail-biting intensity! And plot twists galore. And don't get me started on the romance...my pulse is still erratic and my toes painfully curled. But I'm prepared to make such sacrifices in the interest of quality romantical interludes in a story -- I'm dedicated like that. :-)

Reading Dead Drift was exquisite torture -- because I wanted to read it s-l-o-w-l-y in order to draw the experience out but I couldn't summon up enough willpower to do that so it was over way too soon! Sob! So, if you like to be tortured by excellent storytelling this is definitely the book for you.

Oh -- and I should mention that I do think it`s best to at least have read the previous book -- Blind Spot -- before reading this one since the last part of that story really sets things up for this one and they flow seamlessly together. But, honestly, you really should read all the Chesapeake Valor books in order so you can truly bask in all the literary awesomeness!
