The Forgotten Coast Florida Suspense Series (10 Book Series)
Dawn Lee McKenna
"You'd better buckle up."
Ms. McKenna is able to introduce you to a character and make them so lifelike and real, that you're certain she's telling you about someone she knows very well. I see nothing but success for this author, she's definitely found her corner with the Forgotten Coast series. Florida writers need to watch out, or better still read Dawn McKenna's books.

Editorial Review
Where to start? First off, I received an advance copy from the author and read it in a day. Unusual for me, to say the least. I read Dawn McKenna's earlier work, See You, and was amazed and simply couldn't believe it was her first book. Then she goes and jumps genre on me. A good thing in this case, at least for me, as I love a good mystery/thriller. And this book is one I'd highly recommend to my own readers and will in fact be doing just that. Ms. McKenna is able to introduce you to a character and make them so lifelike and real, that you're certain she's telling you about someone she knows very well. As for twists and turns, yeah, you'd better buckle up. I understand there will be several more in this series coming in rapid fire succession, so read fast. I see nothing but success for this author, she's definitely found her corner with the Forgotten Coast series. About the Forgotten Coast Florida Series: The first four books of the series, Low Tide, Riptide, What Washes Up, and Landfall, lay the foundation for the entire series. There are subplots resolved in each book, but there is also an overarching plot that is not resolved until Landfall, so they should be read in sequence. Later books can be read in any order. "I'd love to come up with even more reasons to read this book, but everyone before me has been so eloquent with their comments I can't think of anything original. All I can say is Ms. McKenna hopefully has a long and prosperous writing career ahead of her - and one I look forward to keeping up with." ...and Riptide (The Forgotten Coast Florida Suspense series, Book 2 "Riptide fulfills the promise of its predecessor, Low Tide, and firmly establishes this author as a
