Depths of Salvation by Molly E. Lee
5.0
**4.5 Stars**
DEPTHS OF SALVATION is a skilled adventurous tale of romance and the love of a vast environment. Sadie and Connell, both divers in varied ways, have one thing in common: their love for the deep blue sea. Both are a bit reckless and careless, but ultimately possess the biggest hearts. Their love story will both fascinate and grip you, and have you seeing this profession in a whole new light.
I love when an author can really delve into a profession and the love of a passion (preservation, sea life, etc.) and immerse a reader in it completely. I know nothing of any of it, but I feel like Ms. Lee wrote it so perfectly that I was in awe of the work these characters do and their love of it, without being lost or confused by any of it. I felt the passion and care come through the writing, and it's not just in the environment but with the characters too; both characters were concrete and vivid and unchanging. They didn't hem or haw or stray from their main principles--they were real, unflinchingly true.
This was my first book by this author and it won't be my last. I really enjoyed the plot, the locations, the detail in everything. But mostly I loved that two characters found their way home; whatever the word means to them. DEPTHS OF SALVATION is low on angst and full of bravery, hope, love, and passion. The writing is so easy to follow that you won't stop until it's over. I look forward to where she can take us next.
