Chase the Light by Suzanne Woods Fisher: Book Review

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




The Book

She uncovered a piece of history--but can she make peace with her own?

When Acadia National Park ranger Scout Johnson discovers a weathered note near a remote lighthouse, she never imagines it will expose a century-old mystery. The cryptic message points to a forgotten shipwreck, a vanished treasure, and a lighthouse keeper's suspicious death. Seeking answers, Scout enlists Naki Dana, a thoughtful man whose Penobscot heritage provides crucial insights. As they venture deeper into Acadia's rugged wilderness, their unlikely partnership begins stirring feelings Scout didn't expect to find. But they aren't the only ones searching.

Chase Fletcher, a charming local journalist, sees this treasure hunt as his last opportunity to save his failing paper--and finds himself increasingly drawn to the ranger leading the search. With pressure mounting and loyalties tested, Scout must navigate a winding path between history and justice, truth and betrayal . . . and determine who--and what--deserves her trust.

Suzanne Woods Fisher weaves a contemporary romance filled with mystery, treasure hunting, and adventure as a park ranger uncovers a century-old shipwreck and dangerous secrets at Acadia National Park. Perfect for fans of mysteries and love triangles.

Book Review

Whether it's her contemporary romance or her Amish fiction, I don't think I've read a book by Suzanne Woods Fisher that I didn't absolutely enjoy... and with this new series bringing some hints of mystery into the mix, it is certainly no exception. Right from the start, this one drew me in... I mean, a treasure hunt!? What could be more exciting than that? Admittedly, there was a good-sized cast of characters introduced, so it did take me a bit to sort out who was who and where they fit into the picture, but I was drawn in all the same. (The author did include a handy guide to the characters at the start too, which is a plus... though easier to refer back to in a paperback than the ebook I was reading!) There was a lot going on in this story... the treasure hunt, the attempt to save a failing paper, the mystery, all the secrets and family drama... and I was here for all of it. Each turn of the page kept me wondering what was going to happen and what secrets might come out next! If you enjoy your romance with a side of treasure, this is certainly going to be one you'll want to add to your TBR. 

Chase the Light is the second book in the National Parks Summers series but could be enjoyed just fine as a standalone as well.
