I feel so bad for giving this book a low rating. I was actually thinking about giving it 1 star, but that's really harsh.
This book lacked so many elements. The most striking one of all is depth (no pun intended). The story is about a girl who works freelance for the police in Florida. Her uncle has been arrested on drug charges and for that reason her father isn't a fan of the police either.
She's not a black sheep of the family, but she keeps her police business far away from them. Then one day, she goes solo diving for archeological treasure (yes, she does that too normally with a friend who isn't present in this book). A body is dumped next to her in the water, and what do you know? It's a person she actually knows!
She now feels threatened by the criminals, so she goes on a hunt (with the man who arrested her uncle).
I found the plot to be thin and uninteresting. The chapter titles which only refer to all things nautical but say hardly anything about the content say it all. The character development is flimsy. I didn't find the main character Sloan to be believable. Her emotions and thoughts were scattered and she would jump from one opinion to the next.
This is the first booked I picked from Amazon First Reads that I didn't enjoy. Let's see what next month has in store for me!
