I can highly recommend STRANDED by DANI PETTREY as an exciting read with strong Christian content. I have read the first two novels in the series and am reading SILENCED, the fourth novel, at the moment, but each can be read on its own. When Darcy St James joins the Bering cruise ship in order to help her friend and former partner in investigative reporting, Abby, find out what is going on on the ship, she has two surprises. The first is scary and unpleasant as her friend disappears after a brief conversation with Darcy, and the second is pleasant but also a bit scary when she finds that Gage McKenna, the man she is in love with but knows she can never have an ongoing relationship with, is also on the Bering in charge of the island adventure expeditions.
We meet the McKenna family, together with Landon and Jake, who we met in the first two books, and I really enjoy the way the author handles the characters and their relationships with one another and with the Lord.
Darcy, who is determined to find her friend before it is too late, asks a lot of questions and finds herself in great danger. Gage, who has had a bad relationship and has lost his baby boy, is drawn to Darcy's God through what they go through together, and no longer blames Him for his misfortune.
It is a story that keeps you guessing and is hard to put down. Things are not always as they seem and it is hard to know who to trust. In the novel we see how determination and trust in the Lord go a long way in uncovering hidden evil.
