A review by rmarcin
Deep Water by Emma Bamford

4.0

3.5 rounded up to 4. Jake and Virginie are sailing around the world. They are told to go to an island called Amarante which is secluded and deserted. They find a few other people also vacationing on the island. Then, a couple they met earlier joins the group, Vitor and Teresa. Things are great until Jake and Virginie develop trouble and everything goes downhill. This is where the book opens, when Virginie is holding a bleeding Jake, calling for help via the ship's radio. They are on a yacht that isn't their own. A navy vessel finds them, and Virginie tells the frightening story to Captain Tengku.
The book starts off very strong with an air of despair and mystery. I felt the story slowed a bit while they were on Amarante. It was obvious to me what Vitor's intentions were, but not what he was involved in. I liked Tengku and his honor. I also liked the tie-in to his son, Aadam, who had died.
I think I will read more from this author in the future.
