Review: Storm Warning

✩✩✩✩

Sorcha Logan is looking for peace.
Recently returned to her hometown on Scotland's craggy coast, Sorcha wants to tame the spirits that made her flee. When she finds a corpse in the surf, however, she can't suppress the memory of discovering her father's body. Nor can she suppress the ghosts that haunt her—or the town's conviction that she's dangerous, and a witch.
Ben Foley is looking for a killer.
An American DEA agent, Ben is in town to investigate the suspicious death of his partner. He's sure that Sorcha knows more than she's letting on—but the more time he spends with the sexy suspect, the less he can fight their illicit attraction. And the less certain he is she's involved with a drug cartel.
But can Ben protect Sorcha from being set up? Or worse—killed?

Review: Storm Warning is another great book by Toni Anderson. It is book two in The East Coast of Scotland Series, abut although Ewan and Nick, from book one (Sea of Suspicion), make brief appearances here and there, there's no real sequence and Storm Warning can be perfectly read as a stand-alone.

Even though the paranormal side of the plot seemed a weird at first, Storm Warning is just as good, or even slightly better than book one. The suspense is strong (at one point I had so many possible suspects it was a bit disconcerting), which means that once you start reading Storm Warning you won't be able to stop.

I loved the fact that Ben manages to tame his worst fear in order to try to save Sorcha (not that she really needed saving, but it was a beautiful gesture anyway), but I resented the fact that she never realized he had already risked his life to save her before by stealing her car (no spoilers, you have to read it). In addition to that, there were several details left unresolved at the end that could at least have been clarified. 

Still, if you love romantic suspense, this one is for you. Recommended.

Happy Monday,
