Book Description:

Someone she knows is watching.
Someone she knows is stalking.
And something hides in the darkness.

With a Category 4 hurricane about to make landfall, boat safety instructor Kate Parks is running out of time. Bodies are piling up--and they're not from the raging storm. An injury may have ended her career as a Fish and Wildlife officer, but nothing can keep her away from the investigation.

And it doesn’t take long for her to see that the clues have one thing in common: a connection to the recent death of her five-year-old nephew.

In a brewing storm of rage, guilt, and family secrets, Kate fights to protect her grieving sister just as the hurricane threatens everything she knows and loves. But before her world is completely ravaged, she must uncover one final truth:

Run from the water.
Hide from the wind.
Flee from the shadows where a weeper seeks revenge.

My Review: 

I thought Darkness Hides was a great way to be introduced to the talents of J.C. Gatlin. It tells the story of Kate Parks, a boat safety instructor and an ex Fish and Wildlife officer, is trying to prepare for a frightening category four hurricane that is threatening landfill any moment. She suddenly gets wrapped up involved in a murder mystery and her old detective days kicks into gear. She finds out that it is connecting to her young five year old nephew, who recently passed away. As she continues to investigate, secrets are quickly revealed. 

I really enjoyed Darkness Hides. It was full of action, adventure, mystery and suspense with a lot of twists and turns. It was like riding on a thrilling roller coaster. I could not predict as to what was going to happen next. I had to keep reading to find out what would happen on the following pages to the characters. I was intrigued and captivated from start to finish. I had no problem of reading the whole book in a day. It was a day well spent. 

I am giving Darkness Hides a very well deserved five plus half stars. I recommend it for readers who enjoy reading books that are clean and suspense filled. I would love to read more by J.C. Gatlin in the future. I believe this one should not be missed. 

I received a copy of Darkness Hides from the publisher. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
