Full review on FaithfullyBookish.com
This story is jam-packed with fast-paced action and laced with just enough swoony attraction to keep that heart rate up throughout! I love the teammate co-worker/friends dynamic connecting the half dozen main and secondary characters. Inner workings of the investigation are fascinating, not lost in technical jargon or lengthy procedures. Human trafficking elements are always hard to read in a story yet I’m thankful for the increased awareness of this ever-present evil.
I highly recommend this series and look forward to reading the final installment of the Dive Team Investigations series soon!

AMAZING! This book was amazing. I read a LOT of Christian suspense/mystery books and "In Too Deep" was superb. I adored Sabrina and I really want to be a part of the gang's group of friends. I loved the humor element in the book, I laughed out loud multiple times, which was a great addition to the mystery and danger of the book. This had a great mystery and the character I suspected as one of the main bad guys was completely wrong, and with the amount of cozies and suspense books I read as well as the cop shows I watch that is HARD to do. I loved the first book in this series and now with this one, this series is safely my favorite suspense series ever. I need Gabe and Anissa's story NOW!
Favorite lines(some of them!):
"It's not that I'm not a morning person," Anissa said. "But no one is a four-hours of sleep person. I can't even pretend to be perky on anything less than five."
"We never ratted him out for being in love with Sabrina, did we?' Gabe laughed so hard he choked on his cookie. Anissa speared Ryan with her most disapproving look. Sabrina looked up from her laptop and shrugged. "You've already told me it was love at first sight, so this really isn't new information."
I received this book from the publisher and author in exchange for my honest review, which I have posted above. All thoughts are my own.

Really enjoying this series! I was looking forward (after the first book) to reading Adam Campbells and Dr Sabrina Fleming’s storyline and it did not disappoint. Looking forward to the conclusion to the series.
In Too Deep is a non-stop action-packed suspense novel that keeps you on the edge of your seat to the very last page. Lots of plot twists as Adam Campbell tries to solve a murder with the help of college professor and computer genius Sabrina Fleming. I love Sabrina’s quirky character as she tries to explore her feelings for Adam. The intriguing story line kept me hooked with the constant threat of danger. I highly recommend for fans of suspense novels. It’s the second book in the Dive Team Investigation series, but it could be read as a stand-alone (although Beneath the Surface is another great suspense read.)

It only took one chapter for me to realize that I was not going to finish this book. With amateur prose and drama fit for a teenage romance, I couldn't stomach the rest. This type of book is why the "Christian" tag causes me to hesitate upon reading. There is no reason for this genre to have an almost fake and unnecessary, blatant, forced message of faith. I was disappointed that instead of a good story I was met with unreal, saccharin representation of a crime novel.

This series just keeps getting better! Sabrina is just such an awesome character. I love how geeky she is. Her backstory was just so heartbreaking, but the ways in which she overcomes that is remarkable. I listened to this book as well as the first in the series. I should note that the change in narrator threw me off in the beginning. Mostly because of the character Gabe. Had I not listened to the books back-to-back, I don't think it would have been an issue but having listened so close together I had trouble hearing how different Gabe was in particular. But the book is just so awesome that I was able to overcome it after a while. Looking forward to the next in the series for sure!
"They killed me. Ask Adam Campbell."
These chilling words self-written on the body of a recently deceased woman set the stage for an increasingly intense and action-packed book filled with pulse-pounding suspense and a thrilling conclusion!
While the story is full of danger that continues to ratchet up as the pages fly by, I greatly appreciated the author's ability to develop main characters that I was also extremely invested in. Sabrina and Adam are so completely relatable that they often seemed to jump right off the page. Not only do their personal interactions with each other hint at their vulnerabilities, but their professional involvement demonstrates their respect and admiration for one another. The family dynamics and strains plaguing them added depth and emotional understanding to so much of their individual decision-making, yet their conversations with each other were uplifting and spoke volumes about the beautiful and adoring relationship they gradually open themselves up to.
"Unfortunately, many of my colleagues believe science and faith are at odds with each other instead of seeing how they are, in fact, beautifully interwoven."
I was such a fan of how the author combined the religious nuances into the overall story. I felt that it realistically presented the internal dialogue one would have throughout the day in striving towards a deeper connection with a higher authority. The touches of faith provided some much needed calm within the sea of so much illegal activity, betrayal, and greed. As the clues began to point to some of the worst aspects of the human condition, the characters' prayers and Christian references became an encouraging beacon of hope.
Although I had not read the first book in the series, BENEATH THE SURFACE, I never felt that I was missing anything. Small details were included to address issues from the previous story, but rather than feeling spoiled, I was intrigued enough that I want to read from the beginning to get the whole picture. The secondary characters created such a fantastic friend group that it was hard not to fall in love with them. I'm looking forward to more with Gabe, so here's to hoping he will be the focus of the next book!
Overall, this was thoroughly entertaining, hard to forget, and I can't wait to read more! Additionally, the author's ability to seamlessly communicate all levels of the investigation in such a dynamic way makes this a solid choice for fans of police procedurals as well.
