Trick of Light by Jennifer Bernard

💖💖💖💖💖/5 


Trick of Light by Jennifer Bernard, book two in the Sea Smoke Island series, was an amazing, emotional, thrilling, romantic suspense, filled with intrigue, and twists and turns that kept me engaged and guessing right up to the very end. It is a story about pirates from long ago, buried treasure, family secrets, and a steaming hot romance.

 

True crime podcaster Gabby continues her search for answers to the mystery of Sea Smoke Island, after all the dangers she encountered the last time she tried, when she meets another Carmichael; Barnaby. Barnaby Carmichael never wanted to be part of his family’s empire, spending his time away for the island for years. Between his father’s dementia and his older siblings in jail, he is forced into being in charge and help with cleaning up the aftermath of his family's business after what happened in Light of Day. Barnaby has his own secrets; a grandmother who no one knew about, or that he had a different mother.

 

Then strange things start happening on the island; residents are being poisoned and eventually one of them dies. All the leads point to Barnaby's beloved grandmother as the lead suspect. Barnaby and Gabby decide to work together to uncover this mystery, protect his grandmother, and prove her innocence. As they dig deeper, the more questions that they have, and encounter danger almost everywhere. Then there’s also the rumored treasure, buried long ago by the pirates.

 

This is a thrilling edge-of-your-seat, action packed romantic suspense, with lots of secrets. Gabby and Barnaby might have begun as opposites but the more they get to know each other, the more they realize they have in common. This is a well written story with characters has, the right mix of suspense, love and drama, and twists and turns I didn’t see coming. I’m excited for the next book in the series and to see how the residents recover from the revelations, as well as what's next for the people of Sea Smoke Island.
