Dark Current!
Published April 7, 2026 by AHF Publishing
Lane Sutherlin thought bringing her best friend’s killer to justice would finally give her peace. Instead, she’s left with a chilling acquittal, whispers of jury tampering, and a part-time role with the sheriff’s office that ends the moment she starts asking the wrong questions.
When a renowned fertility specialist is murdered and harvested eggs vanish from her clinic, a terrified young woman turns to Lane—the only person she dares trust. Her story cracks open a crime far more calculated than a random break-in, pointing straight to a deeper conspiracy.
The Old Guard—Tidewell’s old-monied power players—aren’t just behind the trafficking. They’re determined to reshape the town itself. They’ve corrupted its leaders, bent its law enforcement, and turned its people into pawns. And now they’ve marked Lane as the one woman who can stop them.
With Briggs, the town’s sharp-eyed commonwealth’s attorney, at her side and Tidewell’s future hanging in the balance, Lane must decide how far she’ll go to protect the place she still calls home—before the darkness closing in finally swallows her whole.
Because the storm gathering over Tidewell isn’t just political—it’s personal.
And Lane Sutherlin is done running.
My thoughts about Dark Current ~~
(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)
First lines—"I'm seated in the front row of the courtroom, where I've been all week. Scout is curled at my feet."
This second book in the Sutherlin Files series is just as, if not more, exciting than book one. I love Lane and her tough ways. She gets it done!
And I love Ashley's dark side that has come out with this series. She writes the drama and evilness very well. This book was definitely a page-turner and I devoured the whole thing.
I highly recommend this series where you'll get it all—Ashley's wonderful storytelling, amazing characters, plenty of drama, and the feeling that the bad guys can not win. Dark Current was an exciting read and did not disappoint! I highly recommend that you get started on this series now.
I received an eARC of Dark Current and this is my honest opinion.
