An injured woman stumble into a gathering of teenagers by a lake. Detective Casey Duncan and Sheriff Eric Dalton happen to be there at the time and quickly realize this could be an attack by hostiles. The woman doesn't speak English and is in bad shape. Casey and Eric have a bad feeling about possible outcomes of this attack, and when they arrive at the tourists' campsite, they discover the remains of at least two men, although it is difficult to tell because of animal predation.
Casey has been pondering the reluctance of the council to admit to the problem of the hostiles, and as things go from bad to worse, Casey becomes more certain that the council is responsible for the hostiles, not simply for wanting to avoid doing anything about them.
I've liked every book in the Rockton series so far, even if this is not my favorite. My curiosity about what comes next is intense.
Armstrong's paranormal Darkest Power Trilogy and The Rising Dark Trilogy would be good for the RIP challenge. I actually liked them better than the Cainsville books.
Read in September. I will mention this again closer to the date of publication.
NetGalley/St. Martin's Press
Mystery/Suspense. Feb. 2, 2021. Print length: 368 pages.
Can't wait until I get to read this one. I've really enjoyed the Rockton books. I can also recommend the Darkest Power Trilogy. I've read those books more than once. I keep meaning to read the Rising Dark Trilogy as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm so curious about the next book! A lot of questions raised in A Stranger in Town about the fate of Rockton. I've been considering re-reading the Darkest Power Trilogy as a fun and suspenseful paranormal comfort read. :)
DeleteI've only read the first two books in the series, but I loved both of them. Looks like I need to read a little faster so I'll be ready for this one when it comes out. :)
ReplyDeleteI've liked all of these books, but I'm a little nervous about what comes next! Armstrong has great characters, suspense, and mystery. :)
DeleteI can't believe this series is on to its 6th book already even if it isn't the best instalment, the series is always getting good reviews.
ReplyDelete:) They do get good reviews. Armstrong hooks you and then keeps you turning the pages and waiting for the next adventure!
DeleteI really need to check out this series. I've read a couple of Armstrong's books and enjoyed them, so I'm sure I'll like this series too. It sounds awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a good series! :)
DeleteI haven't read any of Armstrong's books and this series sounds good, I like mysterious settings and situations in books. Not in real life, ha ha.
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm not one to experience this kind of danger in real life, either!
DeleteI'm so behind on this series! Hope to catch up with it at some point.
ReplyDeleteWe are all behind on books, aren't we? I forget about some series for a while, then realize I'm 2 books behind on them.
