Raging Waters (Elements of Danger) by Dana Mentink

 

When Mackenzie Bardine's brother Aaron was murdered in a drug deal gone wrong, she started a true crime podcast dedicated to exposing "Bullseye," the drug kingpin responsible. But her protective heart has never let go of the blame she places on herself and Aaron's best friend, Gideon Landry. On the run to the wilds of Washington to chase a recent lead, she meets none other than Gideon himself.

While conducting a wilderness survival class in remote Washington, Gideon never expected to cross paths with Mackenzie, and he's certainly not interested in helping her after he's already declined to participate in her vigilante podcasting. He carries a mountain of guilt about Aaron's fatal choices, but not for the reasons Mackenzie suspects.

As killers begin to circle Mackenzie like sharks, it's clear to Gideon she's in over her head, and in light of his troubled past with her brother, he can't bring himself to ignore her perilous situation. Then a flood threatens the town, turning their investigation into a race to escape the raging waters and the wrath of a powerful kingpin who wants to sink them both.

My Review

From beginning to end we are holding our breath. This is a story of justice and, of course, greed.
We are offered a man, giving wilderness survival training, and it sure does come in handy. A women who has made it her purpose in life to get justice for the murder of her brother.
This became a page turner, and yes, there is a lot of water, rain doesn't seem to stop here, and the characters seem to be plunging into raging waters, will they survive?
This is a Faith based read, and Good vs Evil, but whom to trust, and I kept changing my mind!
Did enjoy the epilogue!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Revell, and was not required to give a positive review.
