About the book:

What’s happening on this island will make your blood run cold. Matt Royal never has to look far for excitement. Excitement–and sometimes trouble–has a way of finding him first. But for this fun-loving lawyer turned beach bum, things are about to get serious. Dead serious.

When his ex-wife asks for help in tracking down her stepdaughter, last seen in Matt’s hometown of Longboat Key, Matt agrees to do a little searching.

But what looks like the case of one missing girl turns out to be something much bigger–and much more dangerous.

Enlisting the aid of his buddies Jock Algren and Logan Hamilton, Matt launches a full-speed-ahead search that leads from Longboat Key to Key West to an ominous strip of land called Blood Island.

But this is no island paradise. Blood Island is home base to a cult of religious zealots. And they’re making devastating plans that could change the world forever.

Bullets fly, and as the clock ticks down, it will be up to Matt to make sure that what happens on Blood Island stays on Blood Island.

My thoughts:

This is a good book. It's about a retired lawyer, Matt Royal, that is called by his ex-wife to look for her missing step-daughter, Peggy. Not only is Matt looking for the daughter of the one woman that he truly had loved, before he screwed up that relationship by throwing himself into his work and drinking way to much, he digs up more than he expects that he would. He stumbles upon more than he wants but finding Peggy is his number one priority and he keeps right on going no matter what is thrown his way.

There is only a chapter or two that gets a bit slow for me but other than that, it keep me very interested. Even with this being a bit slow for me for that chapter or two, I still give it a 4 star.
