Savannah Blake discovers her father's body, catapulting her into a mission to find her father's killer. Her sisters, Montana and Asia, are less obsessed and more inclined to move on. Savannah is bound and determined, even if she has to go it alone. But Savannah finds herself anything but alone when Troy Bridges, owner of a private security firm and a former colleague of her father's, shows up to offer his help and protection. Given a personal past between them that ended on a sour note, Savannah doesn't trust him, until she begins to wonder whether he's the only person she can trust.
Shelia Goss is a storyteller. The reader is taken on a ride with twists and turns and many blind curves. I enjoyed the development of the romance between Savannah and Troy, and the suspenseful search for Major Blake's killer. Although overall SAVANNAH's CURSE is a good story, I didn't enjoy reading it quite as much as I had hoped. I found the dialogue, whether a character spoke in slang or didn't, to be inconsistent, which served to jar me out of the story at times. Then, there were a few pivotal story incidents that I simply didn't buy, such as when a character was described as one type of person but then agreed to do something completely against character without hesitation and without explanation.
Putting these things aside, SAVANNAH'S CURSE is an intriguing read. It hosts an unusual cadre of characters, starting with the Blake sisters, and I can easily see how a series might arise from this novel. Each sister brought flavor to the story in her own right, not to mention the unique, security-oriented skills they each possess which together make them a formidable team. Montana and Asia are deserving of their own stories.
