My Thoughts on Cascade by Linda K. Rodante

 

About:

A fresh start in the Tennessee mountains was supposed to bring peace. Instead, it brought a killer.

Crista Henson fled to a quiet Tennessee town to rebuild her shattered life, trading her past for a fresh start as a vacation planner and a deeper reliance on God. She wants peace. Instead, she finds herself tangled in a deadly web of secrets with enough suspects to challenge Hercule Poirot himself. She never planned on playing amateur sleuth—and she certainly didn't plan on Sid Martin.

Sid is running from his own devastating past, swearing off the wilderness forever. But when a friend lures him back, a desperate cry for help and a brutal attempted murder force him to confront his guilt and his fears.

As their investigation expands and danger closes in, can Crista and Sid narrow the suspects in time to prevent their own demise?

My Thoughts:

Wow. I am going to have to say that both Crista and Sid are having bad days when they meet each other for the first time. Not a meet cute in any way, no they meet over a bleeding man as danger continues to mount when nature decides to show itself in a form of a bear. Well, I will say reading these first few chapters really had me sweating for these two. Life sometimes feels like a series of misfortunes, though I must say I have never had to go through anything like them.

Both of these characters have come to Tennessee to get away from problems and memories, to start over in what was supposed to be a more peaceful environment. They were not even running away, just trying to get closer to their maker. Well, they did that just not in the fashion they were expecting. And they got closer to one another. 

This is a bit of a wild ride of a suspense that often kept me gasping, I was also delighted by the romance between these two as well. They thought they were going one way, but life showed them a better if albeit more dangerous way. This is a fun fast-paced suspense to lose yourself in for a little bit.

I was provided a copy of this novel from the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
