Review: The Shifting Current

The Shifting Current The Shifting Current by Dani Pettrey
My rating: 💛💛💛💛

If you are like me and you picked up this novella before you read book one through three, you will be in the same boat as me, but you will not feel like you have missed any backstory. The setting is different to the Coastal Guardian series and is unique on its own. It is a great novella to also introduce new readers to the author’s work.

This novella provides closure to those readers who have read the rest of the series and were hoping for more for Emmy and Logan but is also a great in between for introducing the readers to new characters coming in a new series – do I hear other “Yeahs!”.

The suspense and action was around every corner and it was fun to watch Emmy and Logan follow the clues and solve the mystery. This novella was also not without heartbreak for Logan.

There were a few open issues which I am hoping will be solved in the new series. And I am putting book 2 and 3 of the coastal guardian series on my priority TBR to read soon!

About the book:


An elusive killer. A false identity. A deadly maze of lies.

When Coast Guard Investigative Service Special Agent LOGAN PERRY’s beloved grandfather is murdered, Logan races to his hometown of Cauldron Creek, New Mexico to investigate the murder. His teammate and friend, EMMY THORTON, insists on joining him. Not a good idea—not when he loves her, but carries a secret that he knows will tear them apart.

About the author:


Praised by New York Times best-selling author Dee Henderson as “a name to look for in romantic

suspense,” Dani Pettrey has sold more than half a million copies of her novels to readers eagerly awaiting the next release. Dani combines the page-turning adrenaline of a thriller with the chemistry and happy-ever-after of a romance. Her novels stand out for their “wicked pace, snappy dialogue, and likable characters” (Publishers Weekly), “gripping storyline[s],” (RT Book Reviews), and “sizzling undercurrent of romance” (USA Today).


Her Alaskan Courage series and Chesapeake Valor series have received praise from readers and critics alike and spent multiple months topping the CBA bestseller lists. Dani has also been honored with multiple awards, including the Daphne du Maurier Award, two HOLT Medallions, a Christy Award finalist, two National Readers’ Choice Awards, the Gail Wilson Award of Excellence, and Christian Retailing’s Best Award.

From her early years eagerly reading Nancy Drew mysteries, to paging through Agatha Christie novels or watching on-the-edge-of-her-seat adventure movies, Dani has always enjoyed mystery and suspense. She considers herself blessed to be able to write the kind of stories she loves—full of plot twists and peril, love, and longing for hope and redemption. Her greatest joy as an author is sharing the stories God lays on her heart. She researches murder and mayhem from her home in Maryland, where she lives with her husband. Their two daughters, a son-in-law, and two adorable grandsons also reside in Maryland. For more information about her novels, visit danipettrey.com.
