Book Review: Deadly Sanctuary

 

She’s no stranger to trouble…

Deep in the heart of the untamed Florida Everglades lies a web of secrets, danger, and deceit. For FBI Agent Cassidy Knox, it’s the only home she’s ever known—one she vowed never to set foot in again. But after a harrowing confrontation with a serial killer, Cassidy finds herself with no choice but to return to the animal sanctuary of her youth. Grieving the recent death of her beloved grandfather, Butch, on top of her own trauma, she hopes for a brief respite to heal her wounds.

Only the swamp, where the past lurks just beneath the surface, has other plans. When a neighbor is found murdered, the suspicion surrounding her grandfather’s death intensifies, drawing Cassidy into a chilling investigation that threatens everything she holds dear. With old friendships rekindling and new betrayals surfacing, the lines between ally and enemy blur.

As Cassidy races against time to uncover the truth, she clashes against her inner demons—and the boy who once stole her heart. With danger lurking around every corner, the only thing she knows for sure is that she can’t trust anyone. Because the killer’s taking aim… and they have her in their sights.

Get ready to dive into a heart-pounding mystery where trust is a luxury and survival is a game of wits. A gripping, heart-racing thriller that will leave you breathless.


My Review

It has been quite some time since I have read a mystery book. Yet, I do have to admit that after reading this book, I am going to have to jump back into mysteries again. For me it was the world building that really captured my attention with this book. 

Shannon writes a vivid world building with this book that instantly, I was transported. It was like I was Cassidy and experiencing everything through her eyes. I love the animals that were featured in this book. They provided a nice lighthearted touch to the story. 

I did find that the pacing was steady. It stayed that way throughout the whole book that I did find myself reading and keep reading. Cassidy is relatable and that I liked. It made it easier to get behind her and support her. If you are looking for your next mystery thriller, you will want to pick up this book.
