 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 



The Book

USA Today Bestselling Author Elizabeth Goddard Presents a Gripping Thrill Ride

Investigative journalist Cressida Dane arrives in Hidden Bay after a worldwide journey to finish her late father's manuscript on shipwrecks. As she tries to discover the story behind the "ghost ship" Specter's Bounty, her only lead is a name her father left behind--Evelyn Monroe. As Cressida uncovers more about the ship, she quickly realizes that her research has placed her in the crosshairs of dangerous forces.

County detective Braden Sanders is in Hidden Bay for one reason--to get his niece lifesaving medical treatment. To do that, he is assigned to protect Cressida from a revenge-driven enemy. Together, Braden and Cressida dig deeper to discern the myth from the facts surrounding the Specter's Bounty.

But more is brewing under the surface than they could ever imagine. Entangled in secrets, they must unravel the past before the current sweeps away their future.


Brace yourself for Elizabeth Goddard's final adrenaline-inducing installment in the Hidden Bay series. This clean romantic suspense combines maritime mystery with protective hero romance that readers of Dani Pettrey and Nancy Mehl will enjoy.

Book Review

Elizabeth Goddard never fails to deliver suspenseful reads that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish... and this one was no exception. In this story, we meet Cressida as she is researching to finish her late father's final manuscript- one he never finished before his passing. We soon discover that the mystery of the 'ghost ship' he was researching isn't the only one in this action-packed story, with danger showing up at every twist and turn. This book was a great blend of action and suspense, family secrets... and of course a fantastic romance too. While I think the suspense was definitely the star of this story, I really enjoyed the complicated romance between Cressida and Braden as well. This was a great conclusion to a fantastic suspense series and one that fans of Christian romantic suspense are sure to want to experience for themselves. 

Deadly Currents is a Christian romantic suspense. It is the third and final book in the Hidden Bay series. While I really enjoyed this series and would recommend it as a whole, I do believe this could be enjoyed as a standalone with no problems.
