Fatal Tide

Fatal Tide by Iris Johansen

My ratinig:

3 stars—I liked it.

My thoughts:

This was a decent suspense. I didn’t love it as much as Johansen’s usual, but it was still a good read!

Description from Goodreads.com:

“Marine researcher Melis Nemid is treading dangerous water—and she’s about to be dragged under. Melis knows something that has already caused one oceanographer to disappear from the face of the earth . . . and that’s only part of a past torn by violence and betrayal. She thought she had put that past behind her when she arrived at her Caribbean island home to research dolphin behavior.

But Melis’s peace—and her life—are about to be shattered by a savage killer who is cutting a path of destruction and death that leads directly to her. Only one person can save her—a man who claims to be a fellow oceanographer. But what this enigmatic stranger really wants, Melis may not discover until it’s too late. Because whoever is after her knows her fears intimately. And soon Melis will be forced to relive them all over again. Except for the final nightmare—the one she cannot possibly survive.”

Dead Aim

Dead Aim by Iris Johansen

My rating (out of 5 stars):

4 stars—I really liked it.

Description from Goodreads.com:

“A celebrated photojournalist, Alex Graham has recorded some of the most tragic and heartbreaking of stories, but her latest assignment has forced her across a dangerous line. At a dam collapse in Arapahoe Junction, Colorado, Alex witnesses a conspiracy that will shock the nation. For the collapse of the Arapahoe Dam was not an accident. The official story is just a cover-up for a truth so frightening, so unthinkable, that anyone who threatens to reveal it must be silenced. Forever. Alex's only ally is an ex-covert commando with a checkered past, a price on his head and a deadly assassin at his heels. What happens when a reporter does more than just report? What happens when she becomes involved in the story? She ends up marked for death by an enemy who never misses, by those who've already got her centred . . . dead aim.”

My Thoughts:

This is an installment in the Eve Duncan series. I think you could read these all separately, but I’m enjoying following the order. Johansen hooked me into these characters and I was excited to read Judd’s story. This is one of my favorite suspense series!

No One to Trust

No One To Trust by Iris Johansen

I love, love, LOVE Johansen’s Eve Duncan series. Sean Galen has been one of my favorite characters along the way, and here he gets his own story!!

You could read this as stand alone book, if you don’t like to do series.

Complex characters, emotion, suspense…it’s all here.
