Dagger in the Sea is a love song to Greece. Her affection for the people, and respect for the history is obvious in every beautiful word Ms. Porter writes. This story is lush, romantic, and very sexy, yet suspenseful. I truly had no idea what would happen next. ~ Java Girl, Guilty Pleasures

Synopsis
Yet there’s one thing that speaks even louder—
Dagger in the Sea wasn’t quite what I expected from Cat Porter. The characters are well-developed and fascinating,
the words are gorgeous—at times, poetic—the story interesting and intriguing, but the Fury, and the Lock & Key series are, at times, brutal. Dagger in the Sea is a mafia story centered on a character we met in Fury, so I guess my expectation was it would be violent, bloody, and brutal. And it is, but to a much lesser extent than I expected. For me, it is more of a traditional romance, but with a heightened sense of danger always lurking in the back of your mind. It is Ms. Porter’s love song, or tribute to Greece. Her words are filled with obvious love and affection for the people, the history, the food, music, and beauty of the islands and the sea. For years I’ve wanted to visit Greece, but have never had the opportunity. Ms. Porter’s rich, vivid descriptions made me feel like I was right there with Turo and Adriana.
My initial impression of Turo DeMarco from his introduction in Fury was of a smart, cool, calculated, well-organized criminal. I was pleasantly surprised by his vulnerability and the motivation behind his drive for success. The time he and Adriana spend together in Greece shows stripped down versions of themselves, without outside interference or influence, thus allowing readers to get a true sense of their personalities, and for both Turo and Adriana to learn a lot about each other and themselves. Of course the world couldn’t be held at bay indefinitely, and their idyllic Greek getaway came to an abrupt end, bringing with it the harsh realities of their lives. There are twists and turns, some that caught me by surprise, but worked perfectly. The plot is intricate and well thought out, although I found the pace a little uneven. My philosophy is you can never go wrong with a Cat Porter book, and Dagger in the Sea is no exception.

About the Author
Cat Porter was born and raised in New York City, but also spent a few years in Europe, Texas and the suburbs along the way. As an introverted, only child, she had very big, but very secret dreams for herself. She graduated from Vassar College, was a struggling actress, an art gallery girl, special events planner, freelance writer, and had all sorts of other crazy jobs all hours of the day and night to help make those dreams come true. She has two children’s books traditionally published under her maiden name. She now lives in Greece with her husband and three children, and freaks out regularly and still daydreams way too much. She is addicted to old movies, the History Channel, her iPad, her husband’s homemade red wine, really dark chocolate, and her Nespresso coffee machine. Writing keeps her somewhat sane, extremely happy, and a productive member of society. If you enjoy character driven epic tales, her books are for you.
