My Thoughts:

Elizabeth Goddard is one of my favorite authors.  She writes my favorite genres and I know the way she weaves words together always brings both the characters and setting to life for me.  Her plots are edge of your seat suspense, but she also brings a faith element to the story.   
This is the third installment in the Coldwater Bay Intrigue series, but it's easily a stand alone book in my opinion.  
For me, this was a spectacular read!
From the first page I was drawn in and captivated until the last page was turned.Once I got started, I didn't want to put it down.  So for that to me, I classified it as a one sitting read. 
  Cora Strand is a young woman who accepted a job 2 months ago as a shipwreck archaeologist on board the research vessel Sea Dragon. Being a member of the science team is her dream job.  She has a passion for the sea and what she can find and learn from ships that have gone down.  Some do this for treasure hunting, but for her the treasure is in finding and researching history. 
Kirk Higgins was hired on the Sea Dragon as part of the dive team.  With his impressive archaeological credentials, diving skills, and having served in the Navy getting the job was not the problem, but keeping his real purpose for being there a secret might be.  He's looking for answers to the disappearance of his childhood friend, Drake Jackson.  
Both are strong characters that will pull on your heart strings.  I liked that Cora has a strong faith and isn't afraid to lean on God for guidance for strength and guidance.  Kirk has to face the fact that he has always had feelings for Cora and that he had literally pushed her away years ago.  He has a tough exterior, but also a softer side.  
This book has elements of faith, trust issues, crisis of faith, romantic tension, spine tingling suspense, unexpected twists, turmoil, and love.  It's a book I would recommend to anyone who loves suspense. 
*I received this book from the author.  I was not expected to write a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
