About this ebook
We will survive this, Caroline.
When a stranger arrives in their village and asks to see the damaged bay, Caroline Daniels and Joanna Chase know that word of the creature has spread despite the efforts of Mr. Smith. With tensions simmering between France and England, they depart in haste for Medby, where Sir Edward's brother resides. There they hope to discover if Thomas Masterson has stepped into Sir Edward's shoes, and now wields the monster called Leviathan.
The situation in Medby, however, is far worse than they anticipated. Claiming the French attacked his ships, the younger Masterson seems about to launch an audacious reply. But his true plans are not so straightforward, and there is little time for Caroline and Jo to uncover them.
With the threat of war demanding risks in kind, Caroline and Jo must weigh their deepening affection against the greater good … and learn to trust not only their instincts, but their hearts as well.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5"Leviathan" was *such* a refreshing read. Thank you, L.S. Johnson. I've been getting so many "meh" reads lately so I ate this book up.
"Leviathan" is the second book of a series and should NOT be read as a standalone. Read "Harkworth Hall" first. I thought the first book was pretty good but had some issues, mainly around Caroline's character and a slow start to the story. In contrast, "Leviathan" had zero issues. It was a tight and very well-written story. Caroline was fantastic and the pacing was on point while the dialogue and descriptions were vivid and overall excellent.
The second book picks up where the first book left off. Caroline and Jo are going undercover as a heterosexual married couple in a coastal town to stop the unleashing of the leviathan meant to push England into war, leaving unimaginable deathly destruction in its wake.
Like the first book, which takes place in the 1700s, the author did a superb job of really pulling us into that era. It feels like we're there.
The genres are historical, mystery, action, adventure, paranormal, suspense, and romance. I loved everything about it. The characters, ongoing suspense, and unpredictable twists were wonderful.
This is another indie that deserves accolades not only for its storytelling but the quality of editing.
A fantastic 5 stars. I greatly recommend the series.
