The Crushing Depths is book two in Dani Pettrey‘s Coastal Guardians series. It follows the members of a Coast Guard Investigative Service unit located on the East Coast.

Rissi Dawson and Mason Rogers have known each other since they were placed in a children’s home together as children. But for the last ten years, they have lost track of one another. That is, until Mason joined Rissi’s CGIS team.

Rissi and Mason are paired together in order to solve the team’s latest case, a supposedly accidental death aboard an oil rig. But Rissi and Mason are inclined to think it is intentional when their helicopter goes down on the way out to the rig.

I’ve been looking forward to Rissi and Mason’s story from the moment Mason walked into headquarters in the last book. I wish there were more to their story because as much as I may like the other characters, it seemed as if they tried to steal Rissi and Mason’s limelight.

However, there was still plenty of danger, suspense, and mystery. Plus, my curiosity is peaked, especially for Noah’s story. So I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.
