Terrabyte Security by Tena Stetler



Genre:

Paranormal Romantic Suspense

About the Book:

A sleepy little town, Aspen Ridge, nestled in the Colorado Rockies, is experiencing major growing pains. As is Candle's adorable pup.

Former CIA agent, Candle Bearclaw’s new security firm, Terrabyte is expanding by leaps and bounds. When her best friend’s husband, a high-profile software entrepreneur, comes up missing, Candle and her husband, Miacoh, also the new chief of police, find themselves knee-deep in international intrigue.

The same day, an indigenous woman, Molly Reacher, pleads for Candle to take her convoluted case with identity theft overtones. Come to find out, Molly’s friend, a Native American woman, is also missing.

Cayson, an employee of Terrabyte Security, is assigned to protect Molly as the company works through the intricacies of her cases.

Law enforcement are supposed to be all over both missing person cases until Miacoh discovers the indigenous woman’s case is nearly invisible. Will either be found alive?

Read an Excerpt:

A quarter of a mile from Gabby’s house, Cayson discovered an empty sports car fitting the description of Ben’s ex-partner’s vehicle. As he reached to flip off his headlights, a figure darted along the street, dodging behind bushes and cars a couple of blocks from the house. Grabbing his phone off the seat, he called Miacoh to bring him up to date. There was no answer. So he left a message. “I can’t wait for backup. I’m going after him.”

Silently, Cayson crept up behind the intruder outside of the security perimeter of Gabby’s home. He threw a roundhouse kick, connected to the intruder’s head, and followed up with a front kick knocking the man’s weapon from his hand. The gun flew into the air, landed on the ground, and skittered onto the patio. The perpetrator stumbled onto the patio after the weapon and the perimeter alarm wailed. Grabbing a wrought iron chair, the man swung it at Cayson. He sidestepped it, grabbed the chair, then landed a front kick to the solar plexus knocking the individual face down on the patio. The heavy chair caught him off balance for a moment. The individual slowly got to his knees, blood streaming from his nose, and reached for the gun.

Out of nowhere, a large silver and black wolf pounced All four paws landed on the man’s back and knocked him to the ground. As the man lay sprawled on the patio, the snarling wolf jumped off his back and bit down on the man’s hand reaching for the gun. Blood pooled on the ground. The wolf gave one last tug and shook the hand, then let loose. With lightning speed, the animal raced behind the house, into the forest, and disappeared.

Regaining his balance, Cayson swung the chair full circle to trap the man under the chair face down and kicked the gun farther across the patio.

My Review:

Terrabyte Security is the second book in the Mountain Town Mysteries. Candle is running Terrabyte Security in Aspen Ridge. Married to new Chief-of-Police, Miacoh, they have their work cut out for them. The town is much larger than when Candle's father was Chief-of-Police, and the number of magical citizens has also increased. When multiple people go missing in Aspen Ridge, Candle and Miacoh team up to investigate. The case brings together Molly, whose friend is missing, and Cayson, Candle's employee.

Tena Stetler did a great job creating this world, setting it up, and developing the characters. The story is filled with romance, suspense, and action. The synopsis pulled me into the story but the character-driven plot and writing style kept me engaged. I was unable to put the book down. 

I have not read book one but will be going back and doing so as soon as possible.

I was provided a copy of this book.
