Dark Tide

My rating would be closer to 3.5 stars, as this Jack Kane novel moved slower for me and did not foster an attachment with the main characters as previous books in this series had done.

Nonstop action!!

The excitement and action in this book was heart pounding. Love me some Jack and Frank. Looking forward to more books by this author.
