\"\"Another dramatic story in the Forgotten Coast series. This time there\u2019s a hurricane on the horizon, and the Florida coastline is vulnerable. I\u2019m going to be honest, I\u2019m not usually a big fan of the kind of high-octane thrill-ride expected of this kind of premise. It tends to be too frenetic for my taste. I like to have time to smell the roses along the way, so to speak, which is probably why my preferred genre is epic fantasy.<\/p>\n

I needn\u2019t have worried, though. Yes, there\u2019s a lot of dramatic action, and the hurricane is no small part of that, but the author\u2019s main focus has alway been firmly fixed on the characters and their wonderful interactions. So in the midst of all the drama, there\u2019s also time for the characters to find out about each other, and for the reader to find out more about them, too. These are people with lots of secrets. And there\u2019s plenty of humour too. For anyone who\u2019s a fan of Stoopid the rooster or Coco the dog, you\u2019ll be pleased to know that they have starring roles in this book. Four stars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
