Shifting Sands by Kathi Oram Peterson, New Release Book Review

 

Book Summary:

All Gloryanna Griffin needs is a full-ride scholarship to finish her master’s degree in marine biology in order to pursue her dream of saving the ocean. However, to be a serious contender for the money, she needs to publish in a prestigious magazine. A research dive off the Olympic Peninsula is a dangerous proposition but one that just might give her article the impact it needs. But when she’s swept into an underwater vortex, she realizes her life may be the price she pays instead.

When she awakens on the rocky beach—miraculously alive—the first person she sees is the handsome stranger who saved her. Over the years, Jonathan Dawson has saved countless lives from the perils of the ocean. But until now, no one has ever seen him. Nearly eighty years ago, he died on this same beach, and his spirit has been tied to the spot ever since. Now Gloryanna and Jonathan are irrevocably linked as they are plunged into a decades’ old mystery that promises answers to the past and keys to the future. But they soon discover that some secrets may be better left undisturbed.

My Review:

Peterson delves into a whole new genre with Shifting  Sands! I am used to her heart pounding romantic suspense novels and this romantic ghost mystery story was a whole new world! Immediately I was drawn into Jonathan’s and Gloryanna’s world! Everything about the story was intriguing and the mystery of it all kept me page turning. I just could not seem to put the book down! The historical aspects were fascinating and I was in for the long haul.  Peterson threw some curveballs in and I was bouncing all around trying to put it all together. A fascinating ghost story with twists and turns, Shifting Sands is a must read for mystery and suspense fans! I received a copy of this book for free; all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Happy Reading!!!
