Chase the Light

By Suzanne Woods Fisher

She uncovered a piece of history--but can she make peace with her own?

When Acadia National Park ranger Scout Johnson discovers a weathered note near a remote lighthouse, she never imagines it will expose a century-old mystery. The cryptic message points to a forgotten shipwreck, a vanished treasure, and a lighthouse keeper's suspicious death. Seeking answers, Scout enlists Naki Dana, a thoughtful man whose Penobscot heritage provides crucial insights. As they venture deeper into Acadia's rugged wilderness, their unlikely partnership begins stirring feelings Scout didn't expect to find. But they aren't the only ones searching.

Chase Fletcher, a charming local journalist, sees this treasure hunt as his last opportunity to save his failing paper--and finds himself increasingly drawn to the ranger leading the search. With pressure mounting and loyalties tested, Scout must navigate a winding path between history and justice, truth and betrayal . . . and determine who--and what--deserves her trust.

Suzanne Woods Fisher weaves a contemporary romance filled with mystery, treasure hunting, and adventure as a park ranger uncovers a century-old shipwreck and dangerous secrets at Acadia National Park. Perfect for fans of mysteries and love triangles.

Multilayered Storyline

First off does not that cover capture your attention and make you want to read, as I knew that lighthouse was going to hold a secret. I love how this author peels back the layers of the characters and each one’s point of view. After finishing I felt like I had visited Acadia National Park and seen all the beauty it beholds. I am fascinated with lighthouses so the mystery that surrounds it had my attention from the beginning and I loved that it had twists and turns to keep you on your toes. Usually with a long list of characters you can feel overwhelmed but these felt like people you knew quirks and all. I enjoyed the family dynamics and how forgiveness is an important aspect of the story. I also appreciated the way she handled the indigenous people and how some people only see skin and do not look at the heart. The romance is brewing in several scenarios and I enjoyed each one and left me with a smile on my face. Faith brings the story all together with the cord that binds it. This is the second book in the National Parks Summer series but was easily read as a stand-alone. Great word building that kept me turning pages. I received a complimentary copy from CelebrateLit/Revell. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.
