2 stars out of 5
What began with an interesting premise and a starting chapter that had me hooked, In Too Deep quickly spins into a tepid romance between characters Adam and Sabrina are difficult to root for. I wanted more focus on the murder where the victim is found with a chilling message that reads "They killed me. Ask Adam Campbell." I'm not sure if it would have been helpful to have read the first book to have more of a background on these characters, so please take that into consideration. I thought at times the dynamics between the characters worked and at other times they fell flat. And this may be because of the dialogue. I found the dialogue not to be realistic and it felt repetitive at times. Just ask her out already, Adam, so the book can focus on the actual mystery! And this is where my issue lies within this book. It can't decide if it's romance, if it's mystery, or if it's Christian fiction. While other authors expertly blend all three genres seamlessly, In Too Deep splatters a little mystery here, a lot of romance here, a dash of Christian fiction here, a little more mystery, more romance, etc. This is a shame since I hoped this would be a series I would enjoy.
I received this book free from Netgalley and publisher Revell in exchange for an honest review.
