Review of SILENT SHADOWS by Natalie Waters

The setting of this third book in the series is once more in Walton, Georgia, a small town where everyone seems to know and be friendly with everyone else. Although this is book #3 in the series, it can definitely be read as a standalone as the main characters change in each story. In this tale, Pecca Gallegos has brought her small son Maceo to Walton to live, hoping to escape the dangers of her past. As a physical therapist, Pecca has learned to help people by finding out what will give them to motivation to work through the pain. She seems to have met her match in Colton Crawford, a bitter Army veteran with a movement disorder. One of the reasons that I loved this book is that the characters are so realistic and if there is a physical problem, the author has definitely done her research! In the case of Colton, he has PMD, a disorder in which his limbs move involuntarily and sometimes in an embarrassing way and at inappropriate times. Pecca seems more than up to the task of helping Colton, but she finds that the danger she left in Texas has followed her to Georgia and she and her son are no longer safe. She shares her secret past with Colton and the town’s sheriff who strive to protect her from a drug cartel. The action is non-stop, fast-paced and totally believable. I really liked getting to know the characters, especially Maceo, a boy with a strong will to succeed. Reading this book was like watching a movie in my mind because the scenes and the characters were so well described and realistically portrayed. I’m sad to see this series end, but I will definitely look forward to more from the very talented Natalie Waters. Fans of romantic suspense will love this book!
