Some sins refuse to stay buried. Some wounds refuse to heal.

Newly elected sheriff Lane Sutherlin thought the worst was finally behind her.

She was wrong.

Dark Current Redemption is the perfect final book in this new series.  The author wrapped up all of the loose ends, showed the final transformations of all of the main characters we’ve come to know, and ended the story on a hopeful note for the future of the small town of Tidewell.

Lane is now the sheriff of Tidewell.  She had hoped that the corruption brought about by the Old Guard in town was finally at an end but found out otherwise when she was shot.  Lane is facing a divided town – some of the town is supportive of her and her plans, but others are still aligned with the corruption that had ruled the town for generations.  Along with trying to save her town, Lane is dealing with her father’s worsening dementia, a mother who has returned after years away, and her pregnancy that everyone knows about but no one is sure which of two men is the baby daddy.  Lane knows but continues to keep it a secret from him.

In reading the first books of the series, we learned how corrupt the town was.  A small group of men has ruled the town for generations and involved people on all levels – law enforcement, judges, and the rich people in town.  Lane has made it her goal to wipe out the fear of the old guard in town by getting rid of them, but not only does her decision affect the people of Tidewell, but it also puts a target on the backs of people she knows and loves, and even Lane becomes a target.  She has to not only put the lawbreakers in jail, but she needs to confront the choices that she made in her past and forgive the people who betrayed her.   

This is Ashley Farley’s first suspense series, and she has proven to her readers that she can write in a new genre and be successful!  Way to go!!!  Can’t wait to read whatever genre you write next.

NOTE:  This is the 4th and final book in the Sutherlin Series.  The series needs to be read in order, so check out my reviews of the previous books.
