Waiting on Wednesday - First Sign of Danger

 


'Waiting on Wednesday' is an event where I feature an upcoming book that I am extra excited about.  I used to do this in the past and am making it a priority to do again.  Seriously, who among us doesn't have a book or two or twenty that we are excited about reading?  Plus, it lets us 'spread the word' about authors and series that we personally enjoy.

I'm delighted to be 'waiting on' this 4th book in favorite author Kelley Armstrong's series set in Haven's Rock.  I love this series and also really enjoyed the previous books that it spun off of, the Rockton series.  Each spring I'm searching to see if there will be a new book.  Things have changed over the years with Detective Casey Duncan and Sheriff Eric Dalton.  They still live 'off-the-grid' in the Yukon area of Canada, but they have a new baby.  Is this a series best read in order?  I think so, but you can choose.  Have you tried any of these books or others by Kelley Armstrong?  Do tell us what you thought!



First Sign Of Danger

by Kelley Armstrong

Publication Date:  February 17th

New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong continues the atmospheric Haven's Rock series as Casey Duncan investigates a threat to their off-the-grid Yukon town.

Detective Casey Duncan and her husband, Sheriff Eric Dalton, are entering a new chapter of life as parents to their six-month-old baby. Their family is hidden away in the sanctuary town of Haven's Rock where they can live safe and private lives. But when they encounter hikers too close to the borders of Haven's Rock, they realize they're in danger of being exposed.

When they find one of the hikers dead the next day, they realize that their paranoia was justified, but they're no closer to finding out who these people were and what they were doing in the vicinity of Haven's Rock. Only by tracing the hikers' movements, as well as examining the recent behavior of their closest neighbors, the workers of a secretive mining camp, will they be able to figure out where the threat is coming from and shut it down. Otherwise, the lives of everyone in Haven's Rock--and their safe, secure new existence--are at risk.

    1. It does, right? Casey was pregnant in the last book, so we'll see how they do now that baby is here. :-)

  3. I usually wait until the books in this series are out on audio because I enjoy the narrator so much, but I got impatient and read a print ARC of FIRST SIGN OF DANGER. It's a good one! I mean, I like all the books in this series so I'm not exactly impartial, but still...

  5. This is a series I really need to focus on reading more from. I really love it but it is one that gets buried by other books.

  7. So, Blogger is doing something weird today and making it where I can't 'reply' to specific comments. I'll just reply here with a grouping:

    Susan - good to know that this one worked for you. Can't wait!

    Mary - definitely try the Haven's Rock books if you liked the Rockton series.

    Katherine - I do understand about wanting to get to the next book, but then others 'get in the way' - ha! You'll get around to it, I'm sure.

    Lark - You and I are on the same page!
