Dead in the Water by Julie Ann Walker
3.0
3.5 Stars!
This was the darkest book of the series. It kinda made me heart sick. From the group of childhood buddies turned thieves and would-be-killers; to Doc's determination to hold on to his grief for the rest of his life, causing him to viciously turn on Cami; to Cami losing it all (what was left of her family, her job, Doc).
There were some good parts for sure. Like "Uncle" John and Dana falling for each other. Like the Deep Six crew finally finding and claiming the 400-year-old sunken treasure. And like all the HEAs in the epilogue.
But Doc spent so much of the "Doc & Cami story" (starting from the previous book, Shot Across the Bow) being shitty to Cami, and pulling her in with one hand while shoving her away with the other, that I started to lose sympathy for his tragic loss and to just see him as kind of a jack hole who punished a good woman because he felt guilty for falling for her. I wasn't all that sure he deserved her after that.
