Deep Tide
by Laura Griffin
This was an okay read.
The synopsis really intrigued me and the romance seemed like it was going to be good too so I was super excited to read this. Unfortunately I didn’t feel like this delivered on its promise.
The mystery is very slow paced with no sense of urgency and multiple dead ends. 70% and there was still no hint at who the culprit was. I would have liked a more fast paced mystery.
The romance needed more time. I felt they didn’t spend enough time together to like each other beyond lust. I didn’t buy that these two were in love by the end of the book. Definitely a HFN kind of ending.
I did like the writing itself and the setting. The book also seemed well researched. I did like the characters too.
Overall, my main issue was pacing and the romance not being developed enough for my tastes. If you’re looking for a quick beach read this will suffice.
Rating: 3/5
