Deep Water by Emma Bamford
3.0
Thank you to Gallery Books, Emma Bamford and Netgalley for letting me read Deep Water early. This one publishes May 31.
Welp, this one started out great and I gobbled it up pretty fast. I really want to say that this is a great book but, honestly most of it was kind of boring. I was hooked because I felt like it was setting up for something great but I never found that thing. It didn’t feel like a thriller at all. I do have to say that it is super well written and the atmosphere was perfect. I definitely felt like I was there, I was just a little bored.
A Navy ship comes to the rescue of a yacht in need of help in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Captain Tengku rushes to its aid and meets Virginie and Jake. Jake is super injured and Virginie tells Tengku the story of how they ended up in trouble. Months earlier they spent all their money on a small yacht and were set out to explore. Once they learn about a small isolated island, they’re ready to go out and adventure. Once they arrive they realize they aren’t alone and quickly become part of a group who already have developed rules and a society. Tengku is trying to find out the truth from Virginie’s story when they make a shocking discovery on the yacht.
