Lying in the Deep by Diana Urban
4.0
My heart is so happy right now! 🤩 I loved this book so much!
Good thriller? Check. Mystery? Check. Romance? Check. Suspense? Check. Twists and more twists? Check and check. An amazing book? Again, check!
Honestly, I didn't expect to like this one so much, but I absolutely loved it!
The story follows Jade Miller who embarks on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: spend a semester studying abroad on a cruise ship. How great is that? Four months, eleven countries and a perfect opportunity to escape her life and sad reality.
Said sad reality being a bad break-up with her boyfriend, Silas, who also ended up getting together with her best friend, Lainey. Ouch.
So this is definitely a perfect opportunity for Jade to meet new people, make new friends, distract herself and just simply enjoy life for the next four months. Or so she thought this is what she'd be doing if Jade hadn't spotted both Silas and Lainey on this same cruise embarking on the exact same ship for the exact same experience. I mean, c'mon life, really? Really?!
Still trying to make the most of the experience and not pay the slightest attention to the two people who crushed her heart, imagining Lainey's death here and there (because why not, right?) Jade learns yet another important and crucial lesson: be very careful what you wish for, because unfortunately some of the most wicked dreams may have a tendency to just come true.
Which is exactly what happens when Jade finds out Lainey has gone missing, and her room looks straight from the horror movie scene: completely covered in blood, everywhere.
What the hell happened? Where's Lainey? Did someone kill her? Who killed her? Is she really dead?
Lying in the Deep is a fast-paced and engaging suspense/thriller young-adult novel, full of twists and mystery onboard. I also very much enjoyed other characters, they definitely gave life and healthy balance to the overall story.
The ending was surprising, and I think I'd like to have just another chapter, but I definitely enjoyed this book very much!
Thank you NetGalley, PENGUIN GROUP and Diana Urban for this ARC! 💖
